At the end of April we first heard the rumor that Tommy Lee Jones was considering playing an unknown role in The First Avenger: Captain America, and while there's never been any official confirmation, we're hearing the rumor again from another source very much in the know: Hayley Atwell, who's playing Cap's love interest in the film. In an interview with Leicester Square TV (via Comic Book Movie), Atwell revealed that she shares a scene with Jones in the film, "Which I'm really looking forward to doing."

Unfortunately Atwell's loose lips didn't include information on exactly who Jones will be playing, but based on her character--a woman whom Cap meets while fighting for his country-- we can probably assume that speculation about Jones playing a military man is spot on. Maybe this revelation will inspire Marvel to actually confirm the casting?
