Neal

As Dum Dum Dugan, Neal McDonough had a minor but important role in "Captain America: The First Avenger." All he really had to do was stand around cracking wise and looking tough, a part he played to its fullest. "Captain America" ended with Steve Rogers waking up in the present day, so most moviegoers probably figured we wouldn't see Dugan again, as he was previously seen in 1945. But this being the Marvel Universe, it would appear that Dugan may have gotten himself jacked up on all sorts of anti-aging nanomachines that allowed him to survive to see the likes of Justin Bieber and Taco Bell.

Talking to IMDB, McDonough discussed the possibilities for appearances in a "Captain America 2," as well as the long-rumored "Nick Fury" movie.

"Yeah, they’re planning (to go into production for) 'Captain America 2' for the end of this year, because Marvel does one film at a time," he said. "So they’re going to do 'Thor 2' and as soon as 'Thor' has wrapped, they’ll do 'Cap 2.' Hopefully right after that, we’ll jump into 'Nick Fury' because that’s the one I’m looking forward to more than anything."

Avengers

There's no such thing as too much merch, especially when we're talking about comic books.

For the upcoming "Avengers," eFX is set to reveal its list of limited-edition Marvel collectibles to be released in early 2012: a replica Captain America shield, a full-scale Iron Man Mark V mask, Captain America and Thor's mask, and Thor's hammer. They'll be displayed at WonderCon from March 16 to March 18, after which I presume details can be worked out for all of your money.

Captain America

Do you want more Captain America in your "Avengers"? If so, you're in luck -- according to Joss Whedon, much of "The Avengers" will be told from the perspective of Steve Rogers, as he's the only one able to make sense of what a silly world he's found himself in.

In a story for Entertainment Weekly (via ComicBookMovie), Whedon talked about deploying Rogers in this everyman role.

"I set out with a very simple problem: There is no reason for these people to be in the same movie," he said. "So that's what my movie has to be about. So much of the movie takes place from Steve Rogers' perspective, since he's the guy who just woke up and sees this weird ass world. Everyone else has been living in it."

Captain America

The highest earning movies of the year might not get a lot of love on Oscar night, but you can always bet on the technical awards, like visual effects, to spread some of the wealth around.

This year is no exception with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow - Part 2," "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"—the three top grossing films of the year—all making it to the list of ten films up for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.

Of course, here at Splash Page, we're rooting for two of the other nominees: "Captain America" and "X-Men: First Class."

Hayley Atwell

In the past few weeks, a number of characters from the Marvel Universe have popped up as potential villains or cameos for this summer's tent pole "The Avengers." Most recently, merchandise for the upcoming movie may have revealed one key "Captain America" character's involvement in the film, but could Cap's long-lost love show up too?

Hayley Atwell talked about the prospects of seeing Peggy Carter again while promoting "Captain America: The First Avenger" on Blu-ray, and it doesn't look like she'll be joining the team in "Avengers."

Cap

The life of a superhero is relatively simple. Sure, you have to fight bad guys, take care of your loved ones, and maintain a complicated secret identity. But you’re privy to so many cool tricks and toys that all of that is a small price to pay. We can’t all be Captain America or Iron Man or Batman, but if their gadgets were real, here’s what I’d want for Christmas -- for myself and for everyone else in my family.

Captain America

Comic books weren’t always such a big deal. Back in pre-war America, comics and their characters were produced by the dozen, each hoping to capitalize on some zeitgeist or current of interest to make its company some money before moving onto the next potential concept. When Joe Simon co-created Captain America in 1940, literally no one could have seen where the comic book industry would eventually find itself -- and that 71 years later, his patriotic creation would see the silver screen en route to a larger “Avengers" film.

According to Newsarama and confirmed by Marvel Comics, Simon passed away yesterday at the age of 98, from unknown causes. Despite his age, Simon had remained a vital figure in the comics world -- this year, he released an autobiography, “My Life in Comics," and was active from the sidelines in supporting the Captain America film.

“The people out in Hollywood know what they’re doing, and what they got from me and [Jack Kirby] is the most important part—the origin story and the comic books we produced," he told the AV Club in July. “Marvel sent a crew to interview me, and I’m sure everyone will see that before long, but otherwise, I’m happy to let them do their thing."

Marvel

Zen Studios knows how to make a pinball videogame. It's no easy task – creating digital games that somehow maintain the feel of analog tables, but Zen has proven more than capable over the past few years with a stable of enjoyable games. Personally, Xbox Live game "Pinball FX 2" has eaten away hours of my life, thanks in no small part to the incredibly satisfying leaderboard system and the inclusion of some amazingly executed Marvel-themed tables.

Now, a selection of those Marvel tables are coming to iOS and Android devices via downloadable content.
