No Hydra Or S.H.I.E.L.D. In Season One Of AGENT CARTER; Will Feature One Major Marvel Villain
Many of us expected that Agent Carter would focus on the formation of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it will instead take place before the events of her One-Shot! We also get some hints about Edwin Jarvis' role in the series (sounds like he'll be a lot more than just a butler), and much more!
In the following video interview with IGN TV, star Hayely Atwell and the team behind the upcoming Agent Carter series talk about the setting of the first season, confirming earlier reports that it will indeed take place before the events of the One-Shot which was included on the Iron Man 3 DVD and Blu-ray. That's a little disappointing to hear as most fans were hoping that we would see the formation of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it instead sounds like this will be building up to that point (which seems like an odd direction to take). With any luck, a second season will address that part of Peggy's life. Interestingly, the series is described as being like Fargo or True Detective in the respect that it will be like an eight hour movie. We then learn more about Edwin Jarvis' role in the series, and it sounds as if we should expect to see him heading into action alongside Peggy and Howard! Oh, and a brief Captain America 3 update reveals that it starts shooting next April...
