Poll: Should Captain America Date Agent 13?
[Spoilers for Captain America: Civil War ahead]
In an interview with IGN, Hayley Atwell started quite a stir with her comments about the idea of Cap dating her character’s niece, Sharon in Captain America: Civil War. He kissed her in the new film, to which Atwell claimed “[Peggy] would be turning over in her grave.”
“…I wouldn’t want to date my great aunt’s guy. It just feels like it crosses an incestuous boundary. And Peggy just died. That’s even more disrespectful, right? It’s like, ‘don’t touch that. You can’t tap that!'”
The romance seemed to start in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where it was eventually revealed that she was spying on him for S.H.I.E.L.D.
Atwell was probably joking around, but it did raise some questions. What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic in the comments.
