Emily VanCamp Describes Captain America 2 Audition With Chris Evans as Lovely
Emily VanCamp recently opened up about her audition for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, describing it as “lovely”. VanCamp made her entrance to the MCU in the second installment of the Captain America film series, taking on the role of Sharon Carter. The great niece of the legendary Peggy Carter, Sharon works undercover for Nick Fury as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and lives close to Steve Rogers. When Hydra infiltrates S.H.I.E.L.D., Sharon is left unemployed with a blown cover, resulting in her joining the CIA. VanCamp reprised Carter in Captain America: Civil War, where her role in the rebellion against the Sokovia Accords leaves her branded as an enemy of the state and on the run as a fugitive.
Recently, VanCamp made an explosive return to the MCU, starring alongside Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Disney+ TV series. It is revealed mid-series that Sharon is living in Madripoor, working for the mysterious Power Broker. She teams up with Bucky and Sam in their pursuit of the Flag Smashers. However, the series takes a surprising twist when it is revealed that Carter is the Power Broker, ruling over the criminal underworld of Madripoor. At the end of the series, Carter, due to Wilson’s promise, is pardoned and given back her former role in the CIA. Carter immediately reveals her desire to use her role to uncover government secrets, setting her up to become an MCU supervillain.
In an interview with Collider, VanCamp reminisced about her audition with Chris Evans for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. VanCamp revealed the audition process is something that doesn’t come easy for her. Like most actors and actresses, her auditions have resulted in some highs and some lows. However, her audition with Evans is a high moment. She recalls the Russo brothers, Evans, and Nat Moore being present at the audition. Despite being nervous, she remembers everyone at the audition being very kind and, overall, just lovely to her. Read what VanCamp said below:
“So there have been many highs! One that comes to mind as a really great experience was my screen test with Chris Evans that I did years and years ago for the first Captain America that I was a part of. And I remember being very nervous and wondering why I was there, and all of those things that go on in your head. The Russo brothers were there, I believe Nate Moore was there from Marvel and Chris obviously, and everyone was really lovely and I remember leaving feeling like, that just felt very nice and everyone was so kind, and kind of set up my general feeling about being a part of those films and the MCU in general.”
VanCamp’s small glimpse into her experience auditioning with Evans gives a rare peek into the behind-the-scenes environment of the MCU. The immediate support and kindness that VanCamp experienced suggests openness and acceptance within the franchise, which is always a good foundation to build upon. Marvel is indeed lucky that the Russo brothers and Evans made such a great first impression on VanCamp, considering the growing role her character has taken on in the MCU. It’s even a bit humorous to learn that Vancamp and Evans were at ease with one another from day of one of auditions considering their disastrous onscreen romance that even Vancamp had doubts about.
The MCU future for VanCamp’s Sharon Carter is filled with possibilities. Her character has grown drastically since her days as an undercover agent to the Madripoor crime kingpin. It’ll be exciting to explore the internal conflict of VanCamp’s character. Surely, a deep amount of regret and bitterness over her situation contributed to her new villain status. Now, as a CIA agent infiltrating the American government, the possibilities and future for this new Agent-turned-supervillain are endless. What began as a simple audition for Captain America 2 that left her gushing about her colleagues’ kindness, has led VanCamp on a journey to becoming a serious force within the MCU.
