Ah, Hayley Atwell, the actress who’s been in stuff. Yes, after, like, five years (or was it five decades? 🤷♂️), Tom Cruise is FINALLY done with “Mission: Impossible — The Final Whatever.” But let’s be real, the REAL journey was for Hayley Atwell, who’s been, you know, *around*. I mean, she was in that Captain America movie where she wasn’t the Captain, so, progress?
Atwell, bless her heart, has had a “career.” It’s not like she’s headlining every blockbuster, but she was Steve Rogers’s sidekick at SHIELD in “Captain America: The First Avenger.” I mean, who even remembers that movie? 😴
In “The Final Reckoning,” she’s this “mysterious” thief named Grace. She’s supposed to challenge Ethan Hunt, but let’s be honest, Tom Cruise probably just wanted someone new to run alongside. And get this, she’s going back to Marvel for “Avengers: Doomsday”! Because, you know, one franchise isn’t enough. She’s got bills to pay. 🤑
So, here are some of Hayley Atwell’s “best” movies and TV shows. Prepare to be…whelmed.
Christopher Robin
“Christopher Robin”! Oh, you mean that movie where Winnie-the-Pooh gives Ewan McGregor an existential crisis? 🐻 Atwell plays the wife, Evelyn, who’s basically there to remind Christopher that he has a family he’s neglecting. She’s like the nagging voice of reason, but with a British accent. 🙄 Atwell does her best, but let’s face it, she’s competing with a CGI bear.
Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning
Okay, so Atwell’s in “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” but does she actually DO anything? 🤔 She runs, she jumps, she probably gets yelled at by Tom Cruise. She’s Ethan Hunt’s new “fixation,” which basically means she’s the damsel in distress who can also kind of hold her own. It’s a real emotional rollercoaster, guys. A confusing relationship? More like a confusing movie! 🤣
3Below: Tales Of Arcadia
“3Below”? Oh, you mean that Netflix animated show that nobody watched? 👽 Atwell voices Zadra, some alien loyalist. It’s a great story, allegedly, but the animation looks like it was made on a potato. 🥔 She’s committed, grounded, and takes the material seriously. 😴
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
Ah yes, Captain Carter. The “What If…?” character who got brutally murdered in “Multiverse of Madness.” 💀 Atwell herself was probably frustrated. It’s cool that she got to be a superhero, but she’s literally cut in half. At least it was memorable, right? 🤷♀️
Tomb Raider: The Legend Of Lara Croft
Netflix is doing a “Tomb Raider” animated series, and Atwell is voicing Lara Croft. Because, you know, why not? 🤷♀️ It’s supposed to be amazing, and the animation is striking. We’ll see about that! 🙄
Agent Carter
“Agent Carter”! The show that everyone thought would be a parade of easter eggs. It’s actually…good? 🤔 Atwell plays Peggy Carter, a woman in a man’s world. She fights sexism and saves the day. It’s like a feminist superhero show set in the 1940s. Canceled after two seasons! 😭
Howard’s End
“Howard’s End”! For those who enjoy period dramas and Hayley Atwell. She plays Margaret Schlegel, a kind woman who gets caught up in family drama. 🎭 It’s all very British and dramatic. If you’re into that sort of thing.
Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning
“Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning,” basically “The Final Reckoning,” but a bit better. Atwell is utilized more in this film. She’s hired to steal the cruciform key and ends up handcuffed to Tom Cruise in a car chase. 🚗💨 Atwell did her own stunts! 🤩 It’s great to see her play a selfish character, but she’s kind of a replacement for Rebecca Ferguson’s character.
Black Mirror – Be Right Back
“Black Mirror”! Atwell stars as Martha, who uses AI to bring her dead boyfriend back to life. 📱 It’s tragic, dark, and explores our need to see people as perfect after they’re gone. Deep stuff. 🤯
Captain America: The First Avenger
And finally, “Captain America: The First Avenger.” The movie that made Atwell a star. 🌟 She plays Peggy Carter, the love interest who’s actually interesting. She’s not just waiting around for Steve Rogers; she’s got her own goals and motivations. She’s the best of Marvel’s love interests. 💖
