With ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,’ the actress adds another sure-to-be smash to her resume.

VanCamp never expected to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “I came into the process very late in the game — I don’t think anyone thought of me,” she recalls of her first audition for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, back in early 2013. “To me, it was a long shot and I didn’t think it was going to happen. Then I got the call that they wanted to move forward with me, and I was just delighted.”

It’s been eight years, and 14 Marvel movies, since. On Friday, the actress will reprise her role as Sharon Carter for the third time in the new Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Marvel’s second foray into streaming series, following this year’s smash hit Wandavision. The show will be Carter’s first appearance in the MCU since 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, and picks up where we last found the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent: on the run.

Speaking over the phone a few days before the show’s premiere, VanCamp says that she first got the pitch for the show back in 2019. “The answer is always yes,” she says. “[With MCU], you’re not sitting around holding your breath, because there are so many moving parts, especially with streaming now. You never know where they want to slot you in to these big stories and ideas. It’s always fun when you do get the call.”

“It’s bananas,” she continues. “It’s like the gift that keeps on giving. These characters are so much fun, and everyone involved is incredible. You feel like you’re a part of this big ol’ family.” As a veteran of the franchise, VanCamp is well-versed in the act of talking about her latest project without talking too much about her latest project. Here’s what she can share for now: “This time around we get to see another side of her, and that made it even more interesting,” she says. “Sam and Bucky are characters that are really loved in the universe but never got that much screen time, so exploring their relationship and dynamic is really nice to watch.”

A television mainstay since her teens, Emily VanCamp’s career has been marked by multiseason runs on “Everwood,” “Brothers & Sisters,” “Revenge,” and “The Resident.” Now, she’s reprising a familiar role—Sharon Carter—for Disney+’s latest Marvel series, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” offering audiences a glimpse into what the former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been up to since 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War.”

As a kid, you studied ballet. When did you pivot from dance to acting?
I was studying ballet in Montreal, and I started taking an acting class for fun on the weekends. It just became my safe zone, the thing that I looked forward to every week. Ballet became this rigorous training and stopped feeling so much like a creative process and more like a job, whereas this acting class that I was going to, I felt vibed every time I left. I got an agent and started doing little things in Montreal. Then, once I realized that I could actually do it for a living, it just was so clear. When you’re young, especially, big life decisions are much easier because there’s less at stake. I just decided that was it with ballet. I wanted to focus all my energy on acting.

What advice would you give your younger self?
Especially when I was younger, I had a tendency to be incredibly hard on myself. That can be really limiting. Looking back as a grown-up now, I would say: Stop being so hard on yourself! Let yourself play; let yourself fail. Those are the most important things in any creative environment—or, really, anything you put your mind to. You have to allow yourself to fail. I had this very bad relationship with failure, and probably still do, to an extent, but I recognize it now…. That’s all part of starting really young, too. You have to learn and grow through the process. In a sense, that’s your experience [and] your schooling. For me, it was learning on the job constantly and just trying to grow.

Emily was a guest on the podcast “Happy Sad Confused” hosted by Josh Horowitz. The episode was released today on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. I’ve embedded both players below but a note that it IS the same episode – just on different platforms for you all in case you have a preference. Em comes in around the 8:00 minute mark. From then on, it’s a glorious 40 minute interview in which she talks her early years, how she came to be in the MCU, her comfort movies, and much more. It was super lovely to listen to. Check it out below!

It sounds funny to call a young actor like Emily VanCamp a television veteran but a quick glance at her IMDB proves it! She’s wracked up hundreds of hours of television and she’s just getting started. On this, her first visit to the podcast, she talks about her journey with Marvel, from landing the role of Sharon Carter to her return on “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”. Plus she goes deep on her favorite comfort movie, one of Nancy Meyer’s best, “It’s Complicated”!

Happy International Women’s Day! What a great gift we got today – this new Sharon Carter character poster! She looks so badass! ♥

2 new promotional spots for “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” were posted on the official Twitter account for the show earlier today. Nice to see Sharon getting the attention she deserves! ♥ We’re less than 2 weeks away, people!

The 1st I can’t seem to embed here since it’s an advertising spot that goes to Disney+ rather than playing the media. So, I’ll link it – click here to watch it – you should be able to in the Twitter app directly. The image preview in this post is from it!

Here’s the 2nd one below:
