According to questionable sources quoting co-director Anthony Russo, Up in the Air actress Anna Kendrick will likely play the female lead in the Marvel sequel, over other contenders.

Days ago, three actresses―Imogen Poots, Felicity Jones, Anna Kendrick―were revealed as front-runners for the undisclosed female lead role in  Captain America 2. And now questionable sources from Vietnam newspaper Laodong are apparently quoting the anticipated film’s co-director, Anthony Russo, suggesting that the latter actress listed will likely get the role. 
“There are a lot of good talent, but Anna Kendrick gently mixes features tough, especially over time, she has proven her own ability. Can’t say anything, but we do not deny hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with her in the near future” 

Again, these “close sources” are in indeed questionable. Therefore, don’t be surprised if news emerges that contradicts what’s being reported above. If she gets the role, strongly believed to be Sharon Carter, what do you think?
