Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter in Captain America
Hayley Atwell has been cast to star as Peggy Carter in this big upcoming Hollywood project, titled The First Avenger: Captain America.
Guys at Marvel’s were obsessed with finding a British actress for this role, and they got it! 28-year old Atwell will have a chance to play the lead female role in Joe Johnston‘s movie that we all expect to see in the US on July 22, 2011.
At first, we must admit that we were little bit confused. You remember we wrote about some rumors that included British actresses like Keira Knightley, Alice Eve and Emily Blunt.
Ok, we soon heard that Knightley passed on this one, as well as Blunt (because she probably thinks that she’s got good chances for a Catwoman in Batman 3) but on the other hand, at that moment, Alice Eve was said to be Marvel’s top choice for the role.
At the end, it was Eve or Atwell, and both actresses were called in for a second audition shortly after, and you get it pretty clear who won!
For those of you who still don’t have a clue who this young lady is, let us remind you that you all had a chance to watch her in the television miniseries The Prisoner or Saul Dibb’s The Dutchess, as well as in Woody Allen’s 2007 film Cassandra’s Dream.
Alice Eve or Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter in Captain America
Alice Eve seems to be one of the front-runners for the role along with Hayley Atwell for the role of the Captain America heroine named Peggy Carter.
We already wrote about this cast – madness, that included some well-known names like Keira Knightley and Emily Blunt, so we must say that in this point, nothing is sure, and the only thing we know is that both Eve and Atwell have screen-testing for the second time for the role in London.
You all had a chance to read some interesting details about this big upcoming project, as well as the synopsis part, so we’re not going to repeat it this time.
