What If...? premieres on Disney+ tomorrow, and Marvel Studios has finally confirmed the episode's title: "What if...Peggy Carter was the First Avenger?" That's not a huge surprise, of course, but it appears this will be a weekly reveal ahead of each instalment dropping on the streaming service.
"It’s an exciting and worthy progression of the character," Hayley Atwell tells USA Today about Captain Carter's debut. "Audiences get to see her in a more dynamic way, and it puts an end to the now-tired narrative that she’s underused beside her male counterparts. She was. Many women across industries have been and are. It’s time for change and for seeing more characters onscreen implementing that. She knows her value, always has, and here she gets to live it out."
"The ease with which she wields her power allows for moments of levity, which add to her charm," the actress continues. "Work has to be fun, otherwise it’s a dispiriting grind. She’s got chutzpah and style and flair. It makes for a far more entertaining experience for the audience."
A new promo and clip have been released ahead of tomorrow's Disney+ premiere. Check them out below!
In our review of the first three episodes, we concluded by saying, "An instant animated classic, What If...? delivers world after world of endless possibilities you need to explore, and if what we see from these first three chapters is any indication, Marvel Studios has delivered a mind-bending MCU masterpiece." Check back here tomorrow for much more on the series premiere!
