    Haley Atwell is Peggy Carter in "Captain America"

    DateWed, April 14, 2010

     

    Marvel Studios today confirmed that British actress Hayley Atwell has landed the female lead in Captain America: The First Avenger (notice the switch in the title). Here's the full press release:

    Marvel Studios announced today that Hayley Atwell has been cast to star as Peggy Carter in the studio's highly anticipated movie CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER opposite Chris Evans. In the early comics, Peggy Carter fell in love with Captain America while they fought together in the war effort. The character will be updated for the feature adaptation. Joe Johnston will direct the film penned by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.

    At least we didn't end up with the same casting scenario that went on with the lead Captain America, and is now going on with Spider-Man.
