Howard Stark Cast in Captain America
Tue, May 25, 2010 
Salon is reporting that Dominic Cooper will play a younger version of Howard Stark in Joe Johnston's Captain America: The First Avenger, which starts shooting next month in London.
Howard Stark aka Iron Man's dad made a small cameo in Iron Man 2 via footage of the 1974 Stark Expo. John Slattery had the cameo role in Iron Man, but being that Captain America takes place 30 years prior to the Stark Expo during World War II, they had to cast a younger Howard.
From what we know after Iron Man 2 Howard was a founding member of Sheild, and good friends with Nick Fury (Sam Jackson). I'm just guessing here, but could it be likely that Stark will have something to do with the Super Soldier program that transforms Steve Rogers into Captain America, purely speculative, but possible I'd say.
What do you think?

It looks like they're going for someone that looks like RDJ, but HS in IM2 looked nothing like RDJ,,,weird
I doubt Stark will have anything to do with the program. Maybe he'll design the sheild or something, but thats it
It was already revealed with in the film continuity that Howard designed the Sheild and Tony uses a prototype of it help design the Iron Man suit. How likely it is that Howard will be apart of the program is uncertain, but definitely possible.
