Outside of Doctor Who, Atwell is known for her work in costume dramas, including Mansfield Park with Billie Piper and The Duchess with Keira Knightley.

In North America she is best known for co-starring in the mini-series Pillars of the Earth and as Agent Peggy Carter in the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger. In interviews promoting the latter film, Atwell was quoted as mentioning her work for Big Finish and indicated she was still doing voice acting work for them as recently as two weeks before the release of Captain America.

Atwell has gone on to reprise Peggy Carter in Captain America: The Winter Solider, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and the ABC TV series Agent Carter, which debuted in January 2015.
