Joe Johnston's "Captain America: The First Avenger" movie could be classing up its cast with Neal McDonough as Dum Dum Dugan if rumored talks produce a job offer for the "Desperate Housewives" actor.
McDonough would join an already impressive roster that recently added Tommy Lee Jones in a mystery role.
McDonough's conversations with Marvel Studios have not been officially acknowledged, according to Deadline.com, but he may be the leading candidate right now to pick up a bowler hat, mustache and cigar for one of Nick Fury's most dedicated S.H.I.E.L.D. troops.
In a list of credits that includes Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Sebastian Stan as Bucky and Toby Jones as Arnim Zola, McDonough would be in good company.
Assuming Marvel sticks to Dugan's classic look, he would at the very least be one of best dressed. Captain America got a sleeker, wingless, movie-friendly update, but my best guess would be that they'll leave Dugan's core costume elements alone for the most part, save augmenting his S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform.
