Hayley Atwell On Fan Theories That AGENT CARTER Is 'Iron Man''s Mom; Teases ANT-MAN Role

There are some very weird fan theories (fan-fiction?) out there about the relationship between Peggy Carter and Howard Stark, and the actress addresses those right here! She also talks about visiting the Captain America: Civil War set, her Ant-Man role, and much more...

Peggy Carter being Tony Stark's mother isn't a theory which makes a whole lot of sense, though with it being revealed that Howard and Maria aren't his real parents in the comics, you never know! It's not an idea Hayley Atwell is particularly keen on, but she is open to the idea that she and Angie (Lyndsy Fonseca) eventually hook up! The actress discusses possible romantic interests for Peggy in a more serious way before moving on to tease future cameos in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and her cameo in Ant-Man. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the usual place.

I love her and how much she really understand her show. I hate when an actor doesn't really go into depth with there understanding of these characters and just shares the same boring platitudes you'd expect.

How old would Peggy be when she supposedly had Tony stark? It's more likely that Howard hooked up with some young woman in the 60s.

If it is revealed that Peggy is Tony's mother, then a more plausible explanation is that Peggy and Howard had eventually wed, Howard had an affair in the 60s, Tony was born from that affair, the biological mother soon died, and Peggy forgiave Howard and she became Tony's adopted mother.

Really?!?! I never thought of that one. I wasnt a fan of Howard not being Tony's father either. LOVE Agent Carter though. The is amazing and we all know that Haley turns everything she touches to gold!

Damn. She looks hurt in this video. Doesn't even look like her. Looks all pasty, bloated and old.

If this was the case Iron Man at one point would have cracked the joke of Hey Pops" towards Capt.

@SuperCat: Exactly, she can be as pasty and tired from long shoots all she wants; I know her topnotch knockers are still intact!

Well by comic book cannon as it stands Howard isn't even Tony's father so really his parents could be anyone :-P

I love how when she calls the Vision 'Ultron' by mistake the guys is just like, "Yeah ok thank you for your time, this interview is over.... idiot" LOL

I wouldn't mind if they made Peggy Tony's biological mother in the MCU. That is of course only if the comics didn't follow suit as usual, which they obviously would.

Hold on...backtrack...Howard and Maria aren't his real parents? Seriously? Wow, that's just so...stupid.

It would be pretty cool if Angie is Starks mother. She has a personality that's similar to Tony Starks, so it's not impossible.

Tony Stark's mother is named Maria Stark in the 2008 film.

Howar Stark might still be Tony's father. We only know that Maria isn't his mother. But if he was Howard's son, then he had two women knocked up at once. Presumably he stole Tony from an orphanage or something.

Fan theory!?

It was literally one utter idiot on Youtube who suggested that.

Maria...not Peggy.

Wait... " but she is open to the idea that she and Angie (Lyndsy Fonseca) eventually hook up!"....

I think George Takei sums it up best: Ohh MYYY!
