Key Takeaways:

Competing with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The commitment of Hollywood star Hayley Atwell is clear in more than just her acting. Known for her incredible determination, Atwell is one to go the extra mile, even when not on set. Several years ago, Atwell and Agent Carter co-star James D'Arcy found themselves competing in a fierce Dubsmash war with the stars of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Chloe Bennet and Clark Gregg.
Atwell and D'Arcy initially had an upper hand in their social media showdown, owing to their creative flair. But the tables turned when they mocked Bennet's singing career in China using Dubsmash. In return, Bennet and Gregg delivered a biting comeback, featuring Gregg in full Peggy Carter drag, lip-syncing to Queen's ‘We Are the Champions'.
Atwell and D'Arcy Strike Back
Taken aback by this brutal comeback, Atwell and D'Arcy were eager to make a response. D'Arcy suggested they get ‘Captain America', played by Chris Evans, involved. And with her competitive spirit in full force, Atwell didn't hesitate to fly across the country to make it happen.
Atwell revealed their plan at the 2015 London Film and Comic Con, explaining that they reached out to Evans in Atlanta. She famously said, “I'm coming to Atlanta, I'm flying across the country to record a nine-second video with you just because I hate losing.” Evans, amused by this extreme competitiveness, readily agreed to take part.
Filming with Chris Evans
The decision to involve Evans elevated the Dubsmash war to a new comedic level. Fully driven by their competitive zeal, Atwell and D'Arcy flew over to Atlanta, spent a few hours filming with Evans, and returned straight back.
The duo confidently claimed their victory after producing several Dubsmashes flaunting their creative flair. After all the effort that went into their quick visit to Atlanta, Atwell fondly asserted, “I think we won that. I'm confident.”
This humorous event showed fans yet another side of Hayley Atwell and her unwavering determination to win. While there's no official declaration of who ultimately won the Dubsmash wars, fans continue to appreciate the race for its hilariety and joyous spirit.
Marvel Maniacs can revisit these Dubsmash videos shared on Facebook, and if they wish for more superhero screen action, they can stream Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on Disney+. All things considered, the playful banter between casts surely made for some entertaining off-screen comic relief!
