Hayley Atwell Would Love To See Peggy Carter In More Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies
Hayley Atwell has played Peggy Carter in a couple of Captain America movies and also had her own show, Agent Carter. Recently, the British actress said she would like to see Peggy pop up in the MCU again.
Agent Carter only lasted two seasons on ABC, and it has left star Hayley Atwell wanting more. The character first appeared in Captain America: The First Avenger, and Atwell hopes for a future for Peggy in the MCU.
Speaking with IGN, Atwell said “I’d love to see [Peggy] more in films. I’d love to see her in her own film. And if we can keep evolving it so that she does new things so that I can surprise myself and she can keep surprising me then I’d love to do it. I feel very privileged to be part of something that people really love and that entertains them. But also, you’re going to these conventions and meeting people who’ve named their son Carter and people who have a tattoo of ‘I Know My Value,’ the tagline.”
She then spoke a little more about the impact that Peggy has had on fans. “She’s a force of good and there are a lot of social media sites where girls and guys have come together and become good friends on an international scale because of their belief in some of the values that Peggy talks about," she explained. "And that provides them with a different connection that a family situation or school situation that they don’t really feel they have a place in. That’s really cool to me. So I’m very happy to be a part of that world and keep that going.”
Atwell has had some brief appearances in Marvel movies since her last substantial appearance in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Really, the only thing that would make sense for her character to return would be in flashback. It is also highly unlikely that there would be a Peggy Carter solo movie, especially since she was the subject of her own TV series.
