In 'Agent Carter' Season 2, Marvel's Howard Stark Is Back in Action ... in Hollywood!

The Agent Carter season 2 premiere is just days away, ending the long wait to see Hayley Atwell be the most badass woman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Peggy Carter -- and on the latest clip of her Hollywood movie, Dominic Cooper's Howard Stark is back to fight the Cold War!

According to Blastr, Cooper's billionaire playboy (the father of Robert Downey Jr.'s own billionaire playboy, Tony) has popped back into the show's latest trailer, a special New Year's spot, and although he can only be seen for a few seconds, it's good to have him back.

Howard Stark isn't part of Agent Carter's regular cast, but he did make a few key appearances in the first season, and he'll show up in the second outing as well. His butler, Edwin Jarvis (James D'Arcy) is back in action as Peggy's fancy sidekick, and this season he will finally be joined by that wife we've heard so much about, Ana (Lotte Verbeek), who's also in the new trailer. Is she cool enough to be Peggy's new BFF?

In the meantime, TV Line has just released a set of official photos of the cast, including major returns like Chad Michael Murray's mind-blowingly obnoxious Chief Jack Thompson and Bridget Regan as Soviet spy (and former Peggy flatmate) Dottie, and a few new characters, such as Wynn Everett as Whitney Frost/Madame Masque and Reggie Austin as Dr. Jason Wilkes .
