In an interview with IGN, Hayley Atwell started quite a stir with her comments about the idea of Cap dating her character’s niece, Sharon in Captain America: Civil War. He kissed her in the new film, to which Atwell claimed “[Peggy] would be turning over in her grave.”

“…I wouldn’t want to date my great aunt’s guy. It just feels like it crosses an incestuous boundary. And Peggy just died. That’s even more disrespectful, right? It’s like, ‘don’t touch that. You can’t tap that!'”

The romance seemed to start in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where it was eventually revealed that she was spying on him for S.H.I.E.L.D.

Atwell was probably joking around, but it did raise some questions. What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic in the comments.

Not long ago a shortlist made it’s way online for the contenders for the female lead in Marvel Studios highly-anticipated Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The names on this list consisted of Emilia Clarke, Jessica Brown Findlay, Teresa Palmer, Imogen Poots, and Alison Brie. Well, according to the Daily Express, Brown-Findlay is the “front-runner” for the female lead in the sequel. Many believe this role will be that of Sharon Carter.

Weeks after that shortlist was revealed, sources reported that Marvel and duo-directors Joe and Anthony Russo had been considering Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Since then though the rumor has been debunked by the actress. With shooting set to begin in a few months…we should expect to finally get some details soon regarding this role as well as casting.
