Photo: Atwell As Peggy In "The Winter Soldier"

This recent photo from the set of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" not only confirms Hayley Atwell is reprising her role of Peggy Carter from Captain America: The First Avenger but also indicates the scene is NOT a flashback.


Filming of the scene took place on Harcourt Drive in Cleveland Heights, Ohio on Wednesday June 19th where a home was converted into a nursing home for a scene in which Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) visits fellow World War II vets.

It's there that his reunion with Peggy occurs. Atwell was dressed as an elderly woman but her facial features remained fairly unchanged other than being plastered with a lot of CG reference spots - meaning that the character's 90 year old appearance will be achieved with computer generated tech rather than heavy prosthetics makeup.

The story follows the acclaimed comic storyline The Winter Soldier in which Captain America's (Evans) sidekick Bucky (Sebastian Stan) is resurrected as a brainwashed super-assassin known as the Winter Solider. The tale also follows that Peggy's niece Sharon (Revenge star Emily VanCamp) meets Cap.

Anthony Mackie is poised to play Harlem crime fighter Falcon, one of mainstream comics' first black superheroes. Falcon, aka. Sam Wilson, can telepathically talk to birds and has a suit that allows him to fly and enhances his strength. Scarlett Johansson will also show up as Black Widow in the film. How big a role she'll play is also unknown. Cobie Smulders will reprise her role of Maria Hill. She joins her boss in The Avengers co-star Samuel L. Jackson for the film. Frank Grillo ("The Grey," "Warrior") will play the villain Crossbones in the sequel. Toby Jones, has confirmed to Hey U Guys that he will reprise the role of the villain Armin Zola. Maximiliano Hernández said via Twitter that he will reprise his "Avengers" role of Agent Jasper Sitwell in the sequel. Robert Redford (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) has entered talks for a senior leadership role in S.H.I.E.L.D. UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre will play villain Batroc the Leaper, an infamous mercenary in the Cap mythology.

Joe Russo and Anthony Russo are directing the sequel, using a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

The sequel will hit theaters April 4, 2014.
