Deadline was first to report in 2021 that Marvel and Evans were discussing a return in some form to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the belief was Atwell was also part of that plan to return potentially for a standalone movie. A story for that film could not get nailed down but in recent months both sides saw the new Avengers film as the perfect opportunity to bring back both characters.
Atwell can be seen next reprising her role of Grace in the upcoming Mission: Impossible sequel, Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning, which bows in May. She is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360, Hamilton Hodell and Ziffren Brittenham.
