Shield The Truth


Jon Favreau has confirmed to MTV News that the character Howard Stark, father of "Iron Man" Tony Stark, is gonna crossover to Joe Johnston’s " Captain America: The First Avenger".

Mad Men's John Slattery in playing Howard Stark in "Iron Man 2", a character who appears via a 1970's Stark Expo presentation video shot on a film reel that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) gives to Tony. A younger version of the character is expected to appear in 'America'.

Yeah, because he was around then. ['Captain America'] is World War II. It wouldn’t be that same actor, probably, because he would be much younger.[Howard Stark] was starting out during that time, and [he] was involved with the war effort, much like Howard Hughes” Favreau reveals.

A half-assembled version of Captain America's shield is in Tony Stark's workshop in "Iron Man 2" and is used at one point in the film to prop up an important experiment.
