Deadline brings us the story of casting for the role of a love interest for Steve Rogers in the film.
Not sure the character, but evidently it’s a love interest for Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). I’m told that Game of Thrones‘ Emelia Clarke,Downton Abbey‘s Jessica Brown Findlay, Warm Bodies‘ Teresa Palmer,Knight Of Cups‘ Imogen Poots and The Five Year Engagement‘s Alison Brie are testing for it. I’m also hearing that Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow will be in the mix on this film. Marvel cleverly signs these actors on for as many as nine options, which gives them the latitude to cross pollinate the films with multiple superheroes. At first this was annoyance to talent and their dealmakers–Marvel is known for being stingy–but The Avengers worked so well that it’s a career coup to be in the mix on Marvel movies because most of them turn out so well. And it certainly works for the audience.
Allison Brie is an interesting choice. Though I thought (and hoped) Amanda Righetti was going to be Sharon Carter.
