Hayley Atwell Returning as Peggy Carter for Avengers: Doomsday

Hayley Atwell is officially suiting up again as Agent Peggy Carter for Marvel Studios’ highly-anticipated Avengers: Doomsday.

According to Deadline, the 42-year-old actress is set to reprise her iconic role in the upcoming film, marking yet another chapter in her long-standing connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

While fans are thrilled to see Atwell back in action, Deadline also revealed that a standalone Peggy Carter movie was once in the works. However, plans for that project reportedly fell through when the story couldn’t come together. Instead, both Marvel and Atwell saw Avengers: Doomsday as the perfect opportunity to reintroduce Peggy Carter to the big screen.

Atwell’s journey as Peggy Carter began in 2011 with Captain America: The First Avenger, and she has since appeared in numerous Marvel projects, including the Agent Carter short film and ABC series, as well as major blockbusters like Avengers: Age of Ultron and Avengers: Endgame. Most recently, she portrayed an alternate version of Peggy Carter in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

As Marvel continues to expand its universe, Atwell’s return signals an exciting blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling. With Peggy Carter playing a pivotal role in MCU history, her presence in Avengers: Doomsday is sure to strike an emotional chord with fans.
