Tommy Lee Jones Confirmed for 'Captain America'
Thu, May 27, 2010 
A few weeks ago we reported via a story from UGO that Tommy Lee Jones was rumored to appear in the forthcoming Captain America film due out next year.
Now an interview with actress Hayley Atwell, who plays Peggy Carter in the film, has confirmed Jones’ appearance.
Atwell spoke on camera to press at the BAFTA television awards, saying,
"I have yet to meet Tommy Lee Jones…Although I think I have a scene with him, which I’m really looking forward to doing. And Samuel L. Jackson, who, I’m sure, he’s got better things to do than come and meet me for five minutes, but I’m sure I’ll get a chance to later."
It still hasn't been confirmed as to which role Jones will take on, but rumor has suggested General Chester Philips as the most likely.
General Phillips hand picked 4-F army reject Steve Rogers to become a part of the 1940 Operation Reborn experiment. In particular, he admired Rogers patriotic spirit. Later, Phillips was a part of picking Rogers as the eventual Super-Soldier Captain America. Phillips also oversaw Rogers initial training as well as some of his early missions.

I can't picture him in any other role. Philips would be perfect for him. Marvel has really been on point when it comes to casting,
