She’s a much better woman than I am!
Hayley Atwell

Eva discovers she is a natural, with reserves of skill and courage she never knew she had.

Hayley Atwell, who plays Eva, says of the character “I see Eva as a strong, but incredibly vulnerable person, which is true of most people. We are not just one thing; we have many different sides and many different identities, depending on what is required of us. Eva is a heroine and a very brave woman that I feel blessed to have spent time working on - she’s a much better woman than I am!â€
