Hayley Atwell Confirms: The Next Marvel Short is About Peggy Carter

by Susana Polo | 2:42 pm, May 15th, 2013

Hayley Atwell says Peggy Carter can do “everything Captain America can do but backwards, in high heels,” and we’ll get to see exactly what happened to her after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger. Or we will if we manage to get into that big hall at Marvel Entertainment’s San Diego Comic Con presentation this summer. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait until the DVD release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. So… that’s a really long time.

Robert Redford Just Commited the First Sin of Being in a Superhero Movie: You Don’t Talk About Your Superhero Movie

by Susana Polo | 12:33 pm, May 9th, 2013

Robert Redford is, as he admits himself, delving into a new arena of filmmaking with a role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The world of genre movies, in a massive cinema franchise, and a sequel. So far what we know about Redford’s role is that he’s an officer of S.H.I.E.L.D., and possibly one that outranks Nick Fury.

But Redford may have let slip something a bit more specific about his character in an interview recently. It’s also a possible spoiler. Awww, it’s Baby’s First Movie With An Obsessive and Detail Oriented Fanbase!

Sounds Like We’re Getting a Peggy Carter Short This Comic Con

There’s been an online campaign for Peggy to be featured. People really liked her. So Marvel have made sure that as part of Comicon there will be a little kind of snapshot as to what Peggy’s actually really capable of, which was finished here and which was great fun. Hopefully, it will lead to other things. — Peggy Carter actress Hayley Atwell to The Age.

Marvel Entertainment has shown an interest in giving short films to secondary characters, and have already dedicated one to a fan favorite. Peggy Carter is a character who has yet to be given a kind of closure by either Captain America: The First Avenger or The Avengers (even considering deleted scenes), so it makes sense that they might give her some in a short. In the Age article the actress also confirms that she’d be totally down to play Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider movie, so that’s awesome.

Captain America & Iron Man Assemble Into Custom XBOX Designs

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:27 pm, March 4th, 2013

Microsoft should hire Zachariah Perry Cruse to create his unique XBOX designs for the masses. I’m sure they’d sell like hot cakes. Cruse normally makes video game and movie props but take a look at two of his Marvel-inspired custom jobs for the XBOX.

Once Upon A Time Has To Recast The Mad Hatter. Blame Captain America.

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:55 pm, February 23rd, 2013

If you watch ABC’s Once Upon a Time you know they pull from all sorts of stories, not just the usual suspects, for their characters. We’ve seen a few glimpses of the realm called Wonderland but one of the people they’ve given extra attention to was the Mad Hatter (aka Jefferson). Actor Sebastian Stan had a recurring role on the show which is now causing the network a few problems since he has other obligations to fulfill. And did we mention they’re thinking about a spinoff for the Mad Hatter?

Okay, So Maybe Hayley Atwell Is in Captain America: The Winter Soldier?

by Susana Polo | 2:42 pm, February 13th, 2013

A month ago, Hayley Atwell told an interviewer that she would not be returning for Captain America: Winter Soldier, and just a few weeks ago we heard that Emily VanCamp had been tapped for the role of Sharon Carter, the niece of Atwell’s Peggy Carter.

But it seems perhaps that Peggy Carter may not be as absent from Captain America: Winter Soldier as Atwell implied.

Looks Like Captain America: The Winter Soldier Has Found Its Sharon Carter

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:55 pm, February 2nd, 2013

We were very sad to hear Hayley Atwell say she would not be reprising her role (or taking on another) in Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier but it looks like they may have finally found their female lead. Revenge actress Emily VanCamp is the one, but will she be cast as Sharon Carter or someone else?
