10. Hayley Atwell Didn't Record Any Dialogue For 3 Months - Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1

Many performers are at their most comfortable with a script in hand, or with a piece of text freshly stored in their memory, ready to unleash in the middle of an intense exchange with their sene partner.
And that certainly appears to be the case for Hayley Atwell, with the star coming from a theatre background and classing language, and how to use it, as the first useful acting tool she learned at drama school.
The Mission: Impossible franchise isn't exactly known for its extended verbal exchanges or emotionally-charged monologues, however. So, when the MCU star was thrown into the latest chunk of action-packed insanity, it was a bit of a shock to the system.
Atwell actually recently revealed that she spent 100 days on set without recording a single dialogue scene in the set piece-heavy Dead Reckoning Part One (via GamesRadar), with that lack of speech often leaving the Captain America star questioning whether she was expressing enough after relying on her voice for so much of her career.
Thanks to the sheer amount of preparation time Atwell had put in with a superb stunt team before playing the role of Grace in the seventh instalment, though - and the chemistry she'd built up with the action icon Tom Cruise - the character ultimately came to life in the action. This thief's emotion explodes off the screen, often without Atwell needing to utter a single word.
