With Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan on board for The First Avenger: Captain America, Marvel has been searching for Captain America's love interest. It was reported numerous times that Emily Blunt, Keira Knightley, and Alice Eve were up for the female lead. And Emily Reportedly denied Marvel's offer.
Now E!Online has updated the casting process for the role of "Peggy Lee", not "Peggy Carter" which is what was said to be her name.
A well-placed source tells me that British actress Alice Eve, 28, is the front-runner to play Peggy Lee in the much chattered about upcoming superhero movie The First Avenger: Captain America.
Also up for the Peggy Lee part is fellow Brit Hayley Atwell, 28. I'm told both actresses are screen-testing for the second time for the coveted role tomorrow in London. I also hear that Keira Knightley is no longer in the running.
