Fans have enjoyed Marvel's 1940's-set limited series Agent Carter, and a lot of that has been down to the portrayals of some of the show's key characters. One such character is Howard Stark's long-suffering butler, Edwin Jarvis, whose actor, James D'Arcy, recently sat down with comicbook.com for an interview. In it, he had a number of interesting things to say about the show and its finale. He began by touching upon his overall experience while working on the Marvel show:
"Filming the show was a labor of love. The writing was spectacular and being able to work with Hayley was phenomenal. You know, with Marvel you’re going to get great action and adventure while sometimes you forget that they pack their movies with wit, intelligence, & great character development. Those last three are some of the things Marvel does best hands down. To be honest, I keep forgetting that this is the way they operate. They’re the best at finding the fun."
D'Arcy then went on to talk about some of the relationships and scenes that Jarvis has shared with the other characters - teasing a slightly more involved role with the SSR in the coming episodes.
"Well I predominantly really only properly interacted with a few characters. I spent most of my time with Peggy, and a little time with Howard when he was there. I think the interrogation scene he had with Thompson went exactly as you would suspect with those two, which was a lot of fun.
As we race to the finale, it all comes together in a real organic way. Jarvis becomes much more involved with the folks at the SSR and and as a result, builds some surprising alliances with some unexpected turns along the way. But that's all I can really say towards that!"
He was then asked which actor in particular he would like to work with from the wider MCU, suggesting a collaboration that many fans would be very interested in watching:
"I’m going to pick the real obvious answer here. Who wouldn’t want to see an older Jarvis with a younger Tony Stark? I mean, Tony would have to be REALLY young. It would be awesome to share the screen with Robert Downey Jr. but I don’t think even movie magic could make that happen."
Finally, he briefly teased the season finale, and how the series would conclude:
"It has a VERY satisfying finish. Quite often, shows wrap up a season and they don’t address everything that was raised during it. This show will check off every box for every question you had during it. It’s exciting, fun and most of all, moving. Then, when it’s all over, there is a HUGE Easter egg for Marvel fans."
Hmm... "Huge" you say? Could he be hinting towards another big Captain America link? Or perhaps we'll get to see something that heavily ties into this year's Ant-Man - maybe even a young Hank Pym?
