    I think I'll hold out judgement until we know who the character is. Although, the opportunity to see Emelia in more roles is pretty awesome.

    This is one sexy woman. I must say I prefer her natural hair color over the plat blonde in game of thrones.

    Wait, what happened with Ana Kendrick, I heard she was in the top running for the role recently. Did Marvel give her the boot?

    Out of these choices I'd have to go with whos already ahead on the list, Emilia Clarke has that toughness and still sensitivity to be a woman who would catch Caps interest :]
