Some new faces are headed to Agent Carter! EW have revealed that the ABC series has cast four new characters ahead of its return next year for Season 2. The new crop includes the wife of a popular character and a potential new love interest for Peggy - but the standout arrival is The Newsroom's Wynn Everett, who is set to play S2 big bad, 'Whitney Frost', a.k.a. 'Madame Masque'.
"Whitney Frost is a character with a storied history in the Marvel comics, and we’re excited to get the opportunity to introduce her to fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe," claimed EPs Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas & Chris Dingess. "Inspired by Hollywood icons like Hedy Lamarr and Lauren Bacall, we knew we needed an actor who was classically glamorous and fiercely intelligent. Wynn is both, and we’re thrilled to watch her bring this formidable character to life."
Next up is Murder In The First's Currie Graham, who will play Frost's 'high-powered businessman' husband 'Calvin Chadwick'. "We knew we needed an actor versatile enough to go head-to-head with both Hayley and Wynn, and Currie Graham is one of those actors who can truly do anything," the EPs stated. "He brings a grounded, human quality to Calvin Chadwick, a complex character who lives at the center of Season 2’s intrigue."
Outlander star Lotte Verbeek will play 'Ana Jarvis', Edwin Jarvis' 'free-spirited' wife who helps Peggy adjust to her new life in Los Angeles. "For a character fans love as much as Jarvis, we had to find him a partner who would be equally beloved" added Jeph Loeb, "Lotte brings ease, sincerity and warmth to the role that’s just perfect."
Finally, Devious Maids' Reggie Austin will play the 'quirky, yet charismatic' 'Jason Wilkes'. According to EW, he's a scientist who 'instantly charms Peggy', and may become her new love interest. "We were impressed by Reggie as soon as we met with him," Loeb revealed. "He has a unique ability to be handsome and charming while also being extremely accessible. We knew he could portray a character whom both audiences and Peggy would love."
EW also confirmed that Dominic Cooper and Bridget Regan will reprise their roles as Howard Stark and Dottie Underwood, respectively - meaning they'll join star Hayley Atwell alongside James D'Arcy's Jarvis, Chad Michael Murray's Agent Thompson and Enver Gjokaj's Agent Sousa.
Agent Carter will return in early 2016 on ABC.
