Hayley Atwell Hints At Her Involvement In CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER


Hayley Atwell was one of my favourite things about Captain America: The First Avenger, and it’s a damn shame she hasn’t gotten more big-budget movie roles since then (God knows why). Recently the shortlist of actresses to play Peggy Carter’s niece in Captain America: The Winter Soldier leaked, which included Anna Kendrick, Imogen Poots and Felicity Jones, but another Carter question on everyone’s lips is: will Hayley Atwell return in the sequel?

In a deleted scene for The Avengers we saw that Peggy is alive and well and lives in the same city as me, so will Steve come visit her down the road from me and finally have that dance he promised her? Well, speaking to Bleeding Cool at the red carpet premiere of The Sweeney, Atwell remained tight-lipped, but basically confirmed she’ll be back in some capacity.

“I can’t say yet because it hasn’t been officially released, and Marvel are very protective of their franchise.”

In the language of journalism, that translates to:

“Why yes I am coming back, but it’s a secret and I’m not allowed to tell you that.”
