Hayley Atwell On Her Ideas For A Possible Avengers Cameo

Yesterday we heard a 'phoner' with Hayley Atwell from Galactus - but it seems we weren't the only ones on the list of 'people to speak to while on holiday in Scotland'. Talking to NBC Hayley Atwell had the following thoughts to share.

Any chance Peggy could show up in some form in the "Avengers" movie?

I believe "The Avengers" takes place in modern day or something, it's certainly not the 1940s - which means that, my god, if [Steve Rogers] actually went to meet Peggy she'd be an old woman in an old folk's home! Which would be quite a sweet reunion, but not very sexy. [laughs] And I'd probably need about eight hours of prosthetic make-up every day while I did it.

She could still be wearing the dress.

[Laughs] Could you imagine? Still wearing the dress? Imagine if Peggy sat there in that pub on that Saturday night in the Stork Club or wherever it is she says she's going to meet him, and she's there 60 years later, still in the dress, teeth falling out…[laughs]

Joss Whedon might go for it....

You never know! It's like something out of, I don't know, a Dickens novel or something. Like a Miss Havisham or something. Poor Peggy never quite recovered from losing her first love. That's quite sad, actually!

There has been talk of a sequel possibly returning to the World War II setting. If so, are there any specific things you'd like to explore with Peggy?

Oh my goodness, yeah. I would love the idea that Peggy has gotten hold of some blue serum herself and actually becomes a proper superhero. [laughs] It would be interesting to see what happens - because, you know, the blue serum accentuates what is within you, so good becomes great and bad becomes evil, and it would be awesome if Peggy actually was really evil! Some kick-ass super anti-heroine. That would just be amazing. She-Ra was just my dream growing up. She-Ra or Wonder Woman, those kinds of people. But an evil version of that would just be amazing. I hope Peggy gets her own spin-off, at least!
