  • Emily VanCamp Will Be Back To Protect Captain America

    Emily VanCamp has had a successful run on ABC’s Revenge for the past four years, but with the recent conclusion of the show comes new opportunities for the actress, and one of them is on the silver screen.

    VanCamp will reportedly return to the Marvel universe as Agent 13 in Captain America: Civil War, reprising the role she briefly inhabited in Winter Soldier. In the comic books, Agent 13 is the niece of Peggy Carter–Cap’s WWII-era love interest–and presumably the films will follow that storyline.

    Back in January, the directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, said that there will be some familiar faces in the new film, including Rrobert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson.

    ‘We’ve been preparing for the movie since the one debuted last year. So, we’ve been working on it for a long time now,” they said.”We’re very happy how it’s coming along… It’s going to star Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson will be back, Winter Soldier [Stan] will be back, and Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man will also be joining us in the next film.”

    Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, said in a recent interview that he believes his character wants to find love again, but that it’s so hard for him to do something in his own interest when so many people need him.

    “Family is certainly what he wants, but Cap puts what he wants last. That’s his M.O. And I think for so long he just refuses to bleed on people. So it’s hard to explore a guy who doesn’t want to make waves with his own personal conflict. He’s always trying to help the greater good,” Evans said.

    Emily VanCamp took to Twitter last month to thank fans of Revenge for making it such a success, noting that she was overwhelmed with their response when news broke that the show was in its last season.

    “I am utterly overwhelmed with all of the Revenge love I’m reading. Thank you! Its been one hell of a ride!” she wrote.

    Captain America: Civil War is due out in May of next year.

  • Emily VanCamp: Revenge, Captain America and Shoes

    Emily VanCamp prances around the Revenge set wearing a wealth of designer heels that shoe lovers would absolutely die to get their hands on. But Emily would much rather be scuffing around the set in a pair of comfortable old boots. She claims it’s far more her style. Costume designer Jill Ohanneson has the say as to what Emily wears–at least when playing her Revenge role/roles of Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke.

    “We have found what works best for each character: Victoria [Madeleine Stowe] loves Manolo Blahnik, Charlotte [Christa B. Allen] works really well with Jimmy Choo. Emily [Emily VanCamp] would be happiest in boots, but we have to find that heel that still looks beautiful. She looks great in Manolo, and we have some Christian Louboutin. I also use Charles David and Steve Madden. It’s really such a mix,” Jill said during a recent interview.

    Because of the prominence of haute couture footwear on Revenge, the show has become a platform for shoe brands to advertise their designs. Might there be a future collaboration between shoe companies and Revenge? Could there be a Revenge shoe line in the making? Ohanneson is a bit coy when answering that question.

    “There is an amazing moment coming up. I can’t talk about it too much because we’re in negotiations with shoe companies to showcase their [brands]. One of the characters talks about lusting after this style. It’s an opportunity to showcase a great, interesting shoe,” she says.

    Well, fine. Jill Ohanneson certainly isn’t the only one keeping secrets these days. Just check out the tweet ABC’s Revenge shared with fans before Sunday’s airing.

    Revenge isn’t Emily VanCamp’s only claim to fame these days. She is also appearing in Captain America: The Winter Soldier alongside Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson. Appearing in a role like this one–and constantly looking sexy on Revenge–requires lots of heavy duty fitness for the 27-year-old actress.

    “I am constantly getting ready for something,” she said during a recent interview. “I try to stay in shape as much as I can. I started Captain America when I was doing Revenge, so I already had to be in shape but, at a certain point, I’m going to have to take the time to really get in there if I am going to keep doing these physical roles. It takes a lot out of you. It is exhausting!”

    Emily VanCamp may be exhausted but she has pulled off her dual roles quite successfully. Now if she’ll just wear those uncomfortable heels long enough for Revenge to launch its own line of designer shoes, she’ll have women singing her praises all the way to their podiatrist’s office–but they’ll look incredibly fashionable while limping en route.
