Hayley Atwell (Marvel’s Agent Carter, Captain America films) is scheduled to appear at the Seattle International Film Festival Opening Night event on May 15th.
Atwell stars in the Opening Night Film Jimi: All Is By My Side. Atwell will the join the film’s director, John Ridley, on the Red Carpet prior to the screening. The film is based on Jimi Hendix’s pre-fame years in London.
André Benjamin plays Hendrix. The film features more stars of sci-fi including Burn Gorman of Torchwood and Ruth Negga of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
ABC recently announced Atwell will reprise her role as Agent Carter in a new series. Ironically last year’s Opening Night Film Much Ado About Nothing brought Clark Gregg to Seattle for gala just after the official announcement he would star in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC. Clark Gregg is returning to SIFF. He will bring his new film Trust Me to this year’s festival.
