Hayley Atwell returns as Peggy Carter in Marvel’s Agent Carter. The new television series based on Atwell’s character in Captain America: The First Avenger will follow Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it goes on a break.
The new series will be 8 episodes and Atwell explained
how the agent will be portrayed according to Screen Rant.
“I think the main thing is fans feel that they’ve seen her being capable, being sexy, being a femme fatale and they want to see something more. They want to see the complexities, the three dimensions of her, what makes her tick, what makes her crumble, what makes her crash and the limitations of who she is because that makes her all the more relatable.”
“I think over the arc of the 8 episodes there will be very different facets to who she is, which won’t disappoint the fans in making sure that she has a story within herself as well as the stories of each episode fighting who she fights against and still battling with her own demons and losing the love of her life and what a personal cost to her that is. So there’s many different ideas behind who she is and I think she’s going to become more interesting.”
