Atwell, for her part, said it was the 'highlight of my life.' By her account, it was less a choice in character and more a compulsion in the moment as herself - practically an accident. The actress said that she was compelled to impulsively grab Chris Evans' chest, and the director apparently thought it was so organic that you can see it in the film. In what Vanity Fair describes as 'your favorite scene in 'Captain America'' (so it's doubtless that this made the movie better), Atwell's Peggy Carter sees Chris Evans' super-soldier-serum-saturated Steve Rogers with his shirt off for the first time, reaches out in awe, and seemingly involuntarily touches his chest.īut this wasn't only Peggy's first time seeing Steve shirtless, it was also Atwell's first time seeing Evans shirtless. In the case of this sequence from 'Captain America: The First Avenger,' you could say it was an improvisation, and that'd be partly true - but it still definitely qualifies as a mistake when you hear Hayley Atwell tell it.
