Speaking to Collider Stanley Tucci, who played Super Soldier serum creator Dr Abraham Erskine in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger won’t be re-appearing – even in a wartime flashback – for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
“No, they haven’t [asked me], unfortunately,” Tucci said. “I’m really sad.”
He then confirmed that Hayley Atwell, who played love interest Peggy Carter will – fitting as Sharon Carter, her niece, and Cap’s future paramour is rumoured to be appearing, played by Emily VanCamp.
“I know that Hayley is going back to do a flashback scene, but I have not been asked.”
