Who's Hayley Atwell, the actress from 'Doctor Strange'?

Hayley Atwell returns to the Marvel Universe in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.' What do we know about this popular actress?

Atwell has been known for her portrayal in Marvel's 'Captain America' franchise where she plays the serious but loveable Peggy Carter. The character, also referred to as Captain Carter, was further developed in the 'What if...?' Marvel series.

Hayley Atwell is also starring in the upcoming seventh and eighth instalment of 'Mission: Impossible.' They are scheduled for release in the summers of 2023 and 2024.

Hayley Atwell is London-born actress, born in April 1982. She has a British mother and an American father.

What not everyone knows, is that Hayley Atwell's acting debut was in a Pringles advert. We all have to start somewhere.

Since 2005, the actress has alternated between film, television, theatre and radio, demonstrating an astonishing versatility and adaptability.

Hayley Atwell is no stranger to the public eye - far from it - and has worked with the likes of Emma Thompson, Woody Allen and Ewan McGregor.

Atwell has been nominated for a Golden Globe. In 2010, she played the role of Aliena in the miniseries 'The Pillars of the Earth'. She got a Golden Globe nomination for Best Leading Actress.

Besides 'The Pillars of the Earth,' notable works with Hayley Atwell are 'Cassandra's Dream' (2007), 'The Duchess' (2008), and 'Black Mirror' (2013).

A big part of her esteemed career is playing one of the first leading ladies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character is so important that she's even had her own series: 'Agent Carter', which successfully ran for two seasons.

In the Marvel franchise, Peggy Carter was Captain America's longtime partner. Hayley Atwell has made an impressive number of films and series with the MCU.

Atwell appeared as Peggy Carter in 'Captain America: The First Avenger' (2011), the series 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' (2014) and 'Agent Carter' (2015–2016), and in the films 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (2014), 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' (2015), 'Ant-Man' (2015), 'Avengers: Endgame' (2019), and 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' (2022). An animated version of Captain Carter appeared in the series 'What If...?' in 2021.

At the end of 2020, as they were working on a new 'Mission: Impossible' instalment, Hayley Atwell was seen a lot off set with Tom Cruise. It turned out that they had begun dating.

From that moment, Atwell's name and face began to appear a lot in celebrity news publications. The couple were together for nearly a year and then went their separate ways.

As had happened on previous occasions, Tom Cruise found love on a film set. You could call it the 'adrenaline' of shooting two movies (parts 7 and 8) together.

As she often shows on Instagram, Atwell is passionate about reading and animals, but, above all, about nature and the countryside, where she often goes for long walks.

Hayley Atwell makes no secret of her Democratic political stance. She openly supports Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden Administration.

The actress is both a feminist on the screen - as Marvel's agent Peggy Carter - and in real life. She admires a strong female leader and is one in Hollywood herself.
