Oh yeah Jennifer was quite full in her younger years but now she looks all bony.

Might have to try to photoshop myself in that one


Jennifer Connelly was actually my first crush, from Labyrinth. Loved her since. She is looking to skinny now though.

[Triad]

^ Gotta totally agree with you WildcatNC about Connelly looking too skinny nowadays. She is still freakin' hot though, but I'd rather have a little more meat on her bones. Maybe Paul Bettany needs to feed her more?

Back on topic, I truly hope that they cast Hayley Atwell as Sharon Carter!
I know that it is unlikely and I understand why a lot of you think that it would be cheezy, but I feel that it would be a waste of a great actress and her excellent portrayal of Peggy not to. Also, I think that it would really enhance the lost romance aspect that was left open in CA:TFA.

She even ended up getting 'them' surgically reduced a few years ago.

I wish they could get Atwell back to play Sharon but rumors suggest they have cast another actress for the role. And it seems Sharon is gonna be helping Cap deal with being in a completely new time. I certainly hope this is touched upon in the Avengers and not glossed over.

Well here is my take on that issue, and let me preface by saying I could be wrong, as I have a very active imagination so possibly I'm way off base.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Peggy seems to be beyond proficient with hand guns and seems to have super sight, she decked hodges like she had beyond normal strength, and she also has a Vile of Steve's blood. I'm speculating that one of two things happens or happened. One: the German Scientist in SSR's possession makes Super soldier serum from Cap's blood and injects peggy, or 2nd scenario: she was actually the second recipient or test subject for Super Soldier serum after Red Skull. She could be Erskine's daughter who was crippled with pollio as a kid (and raised in Britain of course where she recieved medical help) and he gave her the serum to cure her.

This is fantasy. It's easy to come up with a plausible explanation that she is not only alive in the future but still youthful.

I certainly enjoyed your creativity but I personally would rather keep the tragedy of Rogers story. Losing everyone he knew and cared about and having to move on. Also never getting the chance with Peggy, interesting to see how they play that out if that's the route they go with.

[Rowsdower!]

I'm not sure if we'll see Peggy again but damn, I sure want to. I thought Atwell was lovely and they really did a great job with her character. I loved when she decked that one crude soldier (I think it was Hodge). It's good to see that we're finally getting strong female leads in these movies.

I wonder if Atwell signed for a multi-picture deal? If she did that could be very telling.

I wouldn't be surprised if she did with Marvel having an option on those extra movies. Like they could choose to activate the option if they decide they want to go with a storyline that involves her. Wouldn't be surprise if she had at least a 3 picture one but they might never use her again after this movie.

Hollywood standards-wise, she's enormous...

May I ask where you are from? I've noticed that in England there tends to be a larger proportion of fuller-figured women. I know when I walk around here (Australia), I don't see many women like that. You see a lot of skinny women and a lot of fat women. So a body like Atwell's is seen as a happy medium, a "real" woman.

She's clearly the most badass ingenue in a superhero film to date. I've never seen another one actually kill someone, let alone multiple people.

I think that's standard practice though....

[herolee10]

Given her awesome chemistry with Evans and her ability as an kick ass actress, I'm beginning to wonder if it would have been best to have saved her for Sharon Carter entirely since that's the character that Steve will mainly interact with when compared to his history/connection with Peggy.

[DIRECTOR]

I think she should come back if there is a sequel as Peggy's niece (forgot her name in the comics)

[Frodo]

I thought she was great . I'd never seen her in anything before CA , but I thought she's a had a great introduction to the public at large.

Yup. She's an amazing marskman...too bad we'll never see her again. From what I understand future Cap films will be in modern day, with only flash backs to the past. That could change, but I doubt it.

[kedrell]

Well Sharon's a badass too, as I understand it. She is a SHIELD agent after all.

[Rowsdower!]

Did Amanda Righetti say her character's name at the end? I don't remember.

[KangConquers]

No, but she did call for a Code 13, which many have taken as a reference to Sharon Carter being Agent 13 of SHIELD.

I doubt that.
