Casting the SHIELD Movie

[dewline]

So...open debate for anyone interested. Since Samuel L. Jackson's confirmed as playing Nick Fury for nine movies, barring a box office disaster or three, and one of those films is going to be a SHIELD movie, we've got two questions to have fun with:

1. Which of the legions of SHIELD characters will they use from Marvel's archives for this film, aside from Nick himself?

2. Who will be playing those characters?

I don't have anywhere near the knowledge about actors available for work that I do about the SHIELD characters themselves, so I'm loathe to make any guesses myself...

At the bare minimum, Dugan, the Contessa, & Jasper Sitwell.

For Dugan, I could see them casting Oliver Platt.
Jasper: David Hyde Pierce, easy.
The Contessa: Catherine Zeta Jones?

Could Melina Kanakaredes be an alternative to Zeta Jones?

Oh sure. I'm not picky :)

Colm Meaney for Dugan--it would be cool to have an actual Irishman for the role, and not just an Irish American. Although Meaney can do an American accent, if it comes to that.

Monica Belluci for the Contessa.

Neal Patrick Harris for Sitwell.

Clay Quartermain I'm drawing a blank on...

Well, Dugan was originally Irish-American as a Howling Commando in Sgt. Fury. If we end up seeing SHIELD drop "Homeland" in favour of "Hazard" in a future Marvel Movie...maybe we can swing accepting Colm Meaney.

Harris as Stilwell? *looks at Wikipedia file* That could work.

Quartermain, back when he first got intro'ed in Strange Tales...his depiction there seemed to me like some weird cross between "big game hunter" and "lounge singer/comedian" stereotypes. Who would that suggest to you?

Bruce Campbell?
