Revenge star Emily VanCamp has landed her first feature film role and it’s a big one. Deadline reports the actress will play the female lead in Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the sequel to the 2011 blockbuster Captain America: The First Avenger.
She’ll presumably play Chris Evans’ love interest, rumored to be Sharon Carter, the niece of Peggy Carter, played by Hayley Atwell in the first film.
Anthony and Joe Russo are attached to direct the screenplay, written by Christopher Markus (The Chronicles of Narnia, Captain America: The First Avenger) and Stephen McFeely (The Chronicles of Narnia, Captain America: The First Avenger.
The film is to be released April 2014.
I’m excited that VanCamp will be starring in the Captain America sequel. I enjoyed the first movie, and I love Vancamp’s show Revenge. I watch it every week. I have a hard time watching it live because I work late at DISH when it airs on Sundays, but I see it on my DVR. My DISH Hopper is even set to auto-record Revenge and the other primetime shows on the four major networks using PrimeTime Anytime, so I never have to worry about missing an episode even if I forget to set a timer. And since I like Revenge so much I’ll definitely have to see how VanCamp does in the new Captain America sequel.
