The female lead has been cast for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and she isn’t any of the five women we’ve heard about auditioning for the part earlier (Alison Brie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Emilia Clarke, Imogen Poots, and Jessica Brown Findlay). Instead, Marvel has hired Emily VanCamp (pictured at right), who is probably best known for TV roles in Revenge, Everwood, and Brothers And Sisters. She’s also had movie roles in Carriers, The Ring Two, and Norman. I have seen absolutely none of those things.
The character Emily VanCamp will be playing is rumored to be Sharon Carter (Agent 13), the niece of Peggy Carter, who was Captain America’s love interest in the previous movie. The deleted scenes of that movie explained Peggy was still alive and living in the UK.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier will be directed Joe and Anthony Russo, who are probably best known for directing the pilot to Arrested Development and several episodes of Community and Happy Endings. We’re also hearing Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow character will be in the movie, which opens April 4th of next year.

HA!
She seems kinda young to be Sharon Carter. I’ve always been under the impression from the comics that Agent 13 is a couple years older than Steve (sans time spent frozen).
Emily VanCamp is best known for using her name in that sentence.
Indeed.
I read her list of work and my first thought was “who in the what now?”. And my second thought was “I bet these are WB shows. I’m super old.”
Also, get off my damn lawn, et cetera.
I’ve been waiting for them to spill the beans on this one.
I watched the whole first season of Revenge and parts of the second (I am a sad human being) and she is pretty good at playing a badass and kicking and stuff but she is extremely stiff with not much range if any. So make of that what you will.
Emily is not ugly. She’s a decent enough actress. And, I mean, skinny blonde with nice tits!!! What more do you people want?
Didn’t know she’d been in so much stuff. Kinda thought she was a relative newcomer when she showed up in Revenge. Which I didn’t watch, but took note of her in the ads ‘cuz, fuckin’ hell she’s pretty.
This conclude’s JJ’s Words O’ Wisdery.
