It’s kind of grating/funny that MCU fans talk about how much work this or that actor put into their character when their character wasn’t in the film much, or there was no way for the viewers to notice how much work the actor was putting into the scene because so much of the work was in the background, or how hard they had to work out and choreograph scenes.

Because I just think of Emily VanCamp, who read all the comics featuring Sharon she could, who didn’t know she was filming a fight scene against the Winter Soldier until the DAY they filmed it and still nailed it, had her scenes cut down to a total of seven and a half minutes, remained supportive of her coworkers and praised them and their acting skills in various interviews – even if she didn’t have scenes with them, who responded with grace when an interviewer told her to her face it was insulting for her to play Sharon in the first place, and how fandom treated her so badly you’d think she was the bride of Satan or something.

Like, it’s not that the other people didn’t put in a lot of work. But you want to talk about someone who dedicated themselves to Marvel and have their work go almost entirely unappreciated, unmentioned, and unnoticed? That would be Emily VanCamp.

Evidence of Faith: Emily is not one to talk much about her religious beliefs, doing her best to keep her personal life private. However, according to an article from an Emily VanCamp website that discusses her role in Beyond the Blackboard & her meeting Stacey Bess, it mentions that Emily is Catholic, & refers to her as “the Catholic actress”.

They had a very long love affair in the comic books. Quite complicated, at times. You know, I can see how it would be strange, but I can also see how it would bring them together, so because I play Sharon, I can sort of identify with her and what that means to her, and what Cap means to her.

There are many layers to this Sharon that we have yet to explore, so it will be interesting to see if we do that or not. I don’t think she’s just a love interest, at all, but I think it was nice to see how loyal she is to Steve. We all know that, that was most likely infused in her since she was a kid. You know, with her relationship with Peggy, and you see in the film, she speaks about her relationship with Peggy and how close they were.
