Hayley Atwell is no stranger to the world of spycraft and espionage, having successfully operated in the shadows for years as Agent Carter in the MCU. For her next trick, Atwell is starring as thief Grace opposite Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. As Atwell tells GamesRadar+ and Total Film, however, her role doesn’t completely rely on slyness and subterfuge.
"We did five months of training before principal photography began," Atwell says, listing Pilates amongst her regimen. "As well as the fight choreography and a lot of the drifting I did with [stuntman] Wade Eastwood, we looked at sleight of hand tricks but also the dancer’s body."
