The latest industry buzz centers on the potential return of Captain America in an upcoming Marvel Studios project, a development that has fans across North America buzzing with anticipation.
Actress Hayley Atwell, known for her portrayal of Captain Carter in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, has spoken about the possibility of reprising Peggy Carter in future MCU installments. When pressed about whether she would return to the role of Captain Carter, Atwell offered a cautious but hopeful response: “Well, I have no news for you. But I share your enthusiasm. I would love it if Marvel found a home for Peggy Carter.” Her comments reflect an openness to rejoining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while also underscoring that any decision rests with Marvel Studios and their creative direction. The sentiment resonates with fans who want to see Peggy Carter reclaim a prominent place in the evolving superhero saga (Source: MCU News).
To date, Atwell has already contributed to the Captain Carter mythos across multiple Marvel properties. She headlined the live-action feature Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, portraying the version of Peggy Carter who assumes a variant of Captain America’s mantle. In addition, she lent her voice to Peggy Carter in the animated series What If…?, expanding Peggy’s presence within the MCU multiverse narrative. In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Captain Carter appeared as a member of the Illuminati from a parallel universe, attempting to confront the powerful Scarlet Witch. Although that encounter ended without success, the character left a lasting impression on audiences who witnessed a different take on the shield-bearing hero. This opens the door for potential appearances of Captain Carter in future projects, whether in live action or animation, as producers explore alternate timelines and character continuities (Source: MCU News).
Atwell herself acknowledged the fans’ desire to see Captain Carter return in the broader fabric of the MCU. She suggested that Peggy Carter should no longer be confined to a supporting role and hinted that there could be room for a standalone project or a leading role within the franchise. Fans have interpreted these remarks as a strong signal that Carter’s story could be revisited in a way that elevates her to a more central position within the ongoing Marvel storytelling. While no formal announcement has been made, the actress’s comments contribute to the ongoing conversation about Peggy Carter’s potential future within the Marvel universe (Source: MCU News).
