CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER's Dum Dum Dugan Is...

Published at:  Jun 04, 2010 10:40:43 AM CDT


Merrick here...




Neal McDonough should be joining the cast of Joe Johnston's CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER.

McDonough is in talks to play Dum Dum Dugan.


...says Nikki Finke/Deadline HERE.


Geeks would immediately recognize Neal as Lieutenant Hawk in STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT - he's the ship driver who got Borgified and blasted by Worf. He also appeared as the asshole badguy in Dwayne Johnson's WALKING TALL remake, as "Buck" Compton in BAND OF BROTHERS, has shown up in DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and much more.

2 December, 2007.

Merrick's Woman and I are watching TIN MAN on SyFy (still The Sci Fi Channel at that point). Merrick's Woman sees Neal McDonough on that show, looking intense and wearing a hat.



MERRICK'S WOMAN (to Merrick): He looks a lot like you.

A few moments later...

McDonough removes his hat, stands there looking all heroic and shit.

MERRICK'S WOMAN (to Merrick): Actually, he doesn't look like you. He's cute.


Three years later...
I still call her on this. Three years later, she still says "That's not what I meant!"

Despite being such intimidating competition, Neal's a pretty cool actor and it should be alot of fun seeing him become Dum Dum. Wait, that's not what I meant...

    DUM DUM IN WWII

    by darth busey

    OK, other posters have clarified. So Dum Dum will be part of a WWII unit that somehow interacts with Captain America? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the WWII version of Nick Fury is SLJ's father, who Captain America heroically saves during some battle...which is why Nick Fury Jr. is so interested in his whereabouts/revival. He feels indebted to him for saving his father's (and his future) life. SLJ was born in 1948. The math works.

    If you ask me Neil should have played cap instead of Happy-go-sucky Chris Evans.Also he should have been cast as Duke since he moreso resembles him than Channing Hatum. Then again the producers of GIJoe did him a favor by not including him in that travesty of a adaptation.

I could see Josh Holloway playing old school Fury. I know how ridiculous this all sounds, but SHIELD is known for their outlandish super science

    by drumble

    Neil McDonough's highly underrated as an actor and is, in my opinion, very badly served by the poor films he's been cast in. He's exceptional in both the short-lived LA crime series "Boomtown, in which he played DA with serious character flaws, and his ensemble support in "Band of Brothers" is similarly excellent. It's always a shame when incredible television actors are only listed on websites as having appeared in the dreck they've been forced to act in. He's a jobbing actor, and he's not famous enough to be picky, but he's a bloody good actor and I look forward to him getting a decent role to showcase his skills!

In any event, Hawke was gay in the film's screenplay and scenes identifying him as such were cut for time from the finished film. It's canon.

    by the wraith

    If like me, you didn't care for the concept art for Cap's costume, don't pay to see the movie. It's the best way to let Hollywood know your fed up with their crap. They could care less about our complaints as long as they keep getting our money. So, instead of supporting the people that frustrate and piss you off, send them a message they'll understand. And if you're curiosity is more than you can handle, try to at least wait a couple of months and borrow it from someone that rented it. Why pay for bad service?

    ...you cannot make this movie without those wings. They are an iconic part of the character. Its like Superman without his cape, Batman without his Cowel, or Thor without his horned helmet.

    Now. That being said, you could make it kind of a running joke that the ings keep getting smashed, or torn off of his helmet it fights. So, if you ditch the wings, it would be for a legitimate reason and not just because the director is a douchebag who wants to create a new design for Cap.

    by lettersoftransit

    If Marvel wants Sam Jackson punching Hitler, it could be cool, but not worth the price of making him and Dum Dum Dugan virtual immortals a/o freeze-drying them along with Captain America. A WWII era Nick Fury as Sam Jackson's dad makes more sense and allows Marvel the potential of a whole other series of films featuring Fury, Dugan, Izzy, Gabe et al in WW II a/o as founding members of SHIELD from the late 40s through the 70s or 80s, with lots of period based adventures in-between. If auds can enjoy Indy Jones adventures in the past, then why not Fury and SHIELD? Then you get the past, the present and everything in between

    Kenneth Robeson's pulp hero The Avenger of Justice, Inc.

    by vikkimarsdale

    Kenneth Robeson's pulp hero The Avenger of Justice, Inc. was actually the FIRST AVENGER. DC/National Comics's The Scarlet Avenger was THE SECOND AVENGER. John Steed teams with Dr. Keel and Cathy Gale before enlisting Emma Peel, so Mrs. Peel was THE FOURTH AVENGER.
    The Marvel Comics superhero team The Avengers were formed by Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp when Loki tricked them into fighting The Hulk. The Hulk was then invited to join, which he did, although briefly. He had already left the group when they found the frozen Captain America and invited him to become THE SIXTH AVENGER. Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver all joined simultaneously, becoming the Seventh through Ninth Avengers in no specific order. Assuming you don't count Wonder Man who infiltrated the group and then died. He would have been the Seventh Avenger, I think.
    In terms of retroactive Marvel continuity Captain America was also a founding member of the All Winners Squad (or Squadron) as well as The Invaders decades before joining The Avengers.

    But you knew that. We all know that. Everybody but the people who make these fucking movies knows that.

    He can covertly spy on anyone. Gain entry to any room that has a crack or hole the size of a grain of rice.
    Now, if you live anywhere but the Antarctic or the top penthouse suite of a skyscraper, imagine how far you are from a few dozen or hundred or thousand ants. He can mentally control their instinctive behavior. Black ants, red ants, termites, biting ants, stinging ants, flying ants. Hordes of them.
    Oh, and don't forget, just when you're ready to say fuck it, he's still just ant-Man... he's twenty feet tall. And when you're saying Holy Crap, he's also Goliath... he's FIFTY FEET TALL. Gi-ANT-Man, get it?

    Okay, they're not in Hulk league, or Thor, or Iron Man. Though Pym is a brilliant biochemist and may rank with Stark and Richards on Marvel's genius scale.

    Still, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Don't underestimate them, they're no pussies.

    Best Role

    by cobbio

    Neal McDonough's best role ever was as First Lieutenant Buck Compton in "Band of Brothers." He played that role like he was born to play it. When he loses his swagger, then his mind after the shelling of Bastogne, I was deeply moved. McDonough really nailed it.
    Under a good director, I think he can definitely do a good job with this.
