Marvel Studios announced today that Oscar-nominated actor Stanley Tucci has been cast to star as Dr. Abraham Erskine in the studio's highly anticipated movie Captain America: The First Avenger opposite Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Hugo Weaving, and Hayley Atwell.

In the early comics, Dr. Erskine was a German scientist behind Project Rebirth, the secret experiment that created the Super Soldier known as Captain America. Joe Johnston will direct the film penned by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce Captain America: The First Avenger. Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel and Louis D?Esposito will executive produce. The film will be released in the US on July 22, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Captain America: The First Avenger will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.

Tucci's credits include Julie & Julia, Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award, and The Devil Wears Prada. He can next be seen in the upcoming comedy Easy A as well as the upcoming movie musical Burlesque.

Neal McDonough, who last week was indicated a near-lock by Deadline, confirmed that he will be taking the part of Dum Dum Dugan in Captain America: The First Avenger in an interview with MTV.

Also of interest are McDonough comments about the military unit, the Howling Commandos and the role they play in the film. According to McDonough, the team may undergo a name change before shooting begins.

"It may change," the actor told MTV, "I'm reading a few things that it might change. But at this point, it still is [the Howling Commandos]."

Fans may recall that early reports had Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige claiming that the Invaders would fight along Captain America in the film, but it was later revealed that Feige was actually referring to the Howling Commandos.

Reasons for a name change are unknown as are the reasons behind it (be they creative or legal). What does seem certain at this point is that the members of the Howling Commandos will be present and that Neal McDonough will be among them.

With Chris Evans set to lead an extraordinary cast, Marvel Studios and Director Joe Johnston are prepping for a long shoot, that began Monday, on their much anticipated "Captain America: The First Avenger" movie. And like a typical Marvel Studios project, it seems the crew are going all out to bring the Star-Spangled Avenger to the big screen in the telling of his 1940s origin before joining the current times in forthcoming "The Avengers"

Well we know filming is taking place in the United Kingdom, and more specifically in Manchester, England. And apparently representatives involved with the film notified the locals of the area, before shooting.

"A guy from Shepperton Studios Locations team just came round to each flat in our building to talk about a proposed shoot. He left me with a handy letter which said: ?Frostbite is the working title of a major feature film set in World War II and is a comic book action adaptation?. It?s an adaptation of Captain America. They've been in meetings with the council, police etc. and expect to start filming from the end of September around Dale Street. They're going as far as to add false shop fronts to the buildings and remove street lights.'"

So unlike their recent "Iron Man 2", and more like the filming of "Thor"(which they built an entire false town in a New Mexico desert for), the Marvel crew are reducing green-screen surroundings, and constructing actual building fronts to mimic shops that were supposedly around back in the World War 2 era. And this would also be expected being that their planning on closing down several streets in the area that will act as 1940's New York.

Lets not kid ourselves, we?ve already seen early concept art of what Captain America?s costume is going to look like. But for some reason that doesn?t make us less excited about hearing the Captain himself, Chris Evans, talk about the character?s new look for the upcoming movie. Oh yeah, and the shield too.

Evans tells Empire Magazine:

?It?s an amazing costume. Given the fact that his costume is red, white and blue, and it?s tight, and it could be kind of flash and over the top ? and given the fact that the movie takes place in the ?40s and ?50s ? they?ve done a really good job of making it look really cool. I think everyone that?s going to see it is going to say, ?Okay, well done. Well done. I think they got the costume right. The casting they completely ruined <<< :rofl:, but the costume they nailed!??

Evans says the gear is ?a little more cumbersome? than his costume in the Fantastic Four films, but that is to be expected as ?any type of World War II uniform would be a little chunky.? In the concept art, Captain America?s shield looked almost like it did in the comics. But it sounds like Joe Johnston hasn?t even decided what he wants the shield to look like just yet:

?We?ve been testing a lot of shields. Last time I was in London they had six shields and I had to hold each one, see if I was comfortable with each one, see which one we all thought had the right look. The thing is pretty heavy, so I?m not sure I can throw it that far! I?ll give it my best shot, but hopefully they?ll have some sort of stunt shield when it comes to actually chucking it!?

I?m sure we?ll have our first look at the costume and shield at Comic-Con later this month. The movie just started filming last week. Captain America: The First Avenger will hit theaters on July 22nd 2011.
