Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter\u00a0quickly became\u00a0a fan favourite after appearing in\u00a02011’s\u00a0Captain America: The First Avenger, and Marvel Studios was understandably eager to bring the British actor\u00a0back into the fold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That started with a fun “One-Shot” short and after a cameo in\u00a0Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel Television launched the\u00a0Agent Carter\u00a0TV series (the only one of that studio’s\u00a0shows Marvel Studios executives were actively involved with).<\/p>\n

Years later, Peggy was made the face of Marvel Animation’s\u00a0What If…?\u00a0as a Variant of the character who took the Super Soldier Serum and became “Captain Carter.” She\u00a0similarly struck a chord with fans, so her live-action debut in\u00a0Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness\u00a0was cause for celebration. Until it wasn’t.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The hero was killed in short order, and confusingly, the Captain Carter who died at the Scarlet Witch’s hands was revealed to be another very similar Variant and, ultimately, a waste of what had been a\u00a0long-awaited debut for the What If…? lead. After all, did the Captain not deserve better than being sliced in half by her shield?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trades have reported that both Chris Evans and Atwell will return in Avengers: Doomsday, though neither of their names was featured in March’s lengthy cast reveal.<\/p>\n

Talking to Den of Geek<\/a> about her role in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Atwell said she “would love’ <\/strong>to suit up as Captain Carter in either of the upcoming Avengers movies (the second being Secret Wars).\u00a0<\/p>\n

“There are so many things that she could do, there\u2019s so much more I feel I can bring to a character because I\u2019ve developed as time\u2019s gone on,” <\/strong>Atwell explained.\u00a0“What\u2019s so great about having time behind you and having had a 20-year career so far is the development of skill, and I think there\u2019s so much more that Peggy can do. She\u2019s very much an underserved character.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“When she says \u2018I know my value and everyone else\u2019s opinion doesn\u2019t really matter,\u2019 it\u2019s because she hasn\u2019t been given the platform that she knows she deserves and that she\u2019s really capable of doing in the world,”<\/strong> the actor continued. “And so I just think there is just so much more that she can do, and I think she speaks to a modern time, so to be able to take her to that next level as Captain Carter would be phenomenal. Especially with all my Mission: Impossible training. I am ready, let\u2019s go!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday could redeem the Multiverse Saga’s most disappointing cameo (well, aside from John Krasinski’s Mister Fantastic being turned into spaghetti), though it would likely need to be yet another Peggy Carter Variant, seeing as the Captain died in What If…?’s season 3 finale.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0is set to be released on May 1 2026, with\u00a0Avengers: Secret Wars\u00a0scheduled\u00a0to arrive on May 7, 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter\u00a0quickly became\u00a0a fan favourite after appearing in\u00a02011’s\u00a0Captain America: The First Avenger, and Marvel Studios was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[3983,77,44869,3943,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-95853","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-avengers-doomsday","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-hayley-atwell","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114495978424594182","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
