Los Angeles: Actress Emily VanCamp will be playing the female lead in superhero movie 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'. VanCamp's casting is quite a surprise since the actress' name was not mentioned in the list of candidates that was shared online last year.

A number of Hollywood beauties including Jessica Brown Findlay, Emilia Clarke, Alison Brie, Teresa Palmer, Imogen Poots and Mary Elizabeth Winstead had previously eyed the female lead role.
