The actress played the superhero's next door neighbour in the original 2011 film, and she briefly appeared in last year's (14) follow-up, The Winter Soldier.

Now she is heading back to the blockbuster franchise in Captain America: Civil War, according to Deadline.com.

News of VanCamp's return comes days after her hit U.S. TV drama Revenge was cancelled, and her four-season run comes to an end on Sunday (10May15).

Captain America: Civil War also stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey, Jr. and Scarlett Johansson, and is set for release in 2016.
