Overview
- Atwell, speaking Monday at the For the Love of Fantasy & Sci‑Fi festival in London, said she was “so disappointed” with Captain Carter’s brief Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness cameo and called its portrayal a “complete disservice.”
- She described the cameo as very short and ending abruptly during a fight with the Scarlet Witch, and she said that immediate reaction undercut the character’s history in the MCU.
- Atwell said she tried on set to suggest changes to the scene but was refused, using that account to illustrate limits on actors’ ability to alter high‑profile studio set pieces.
- Reporting confirms Atwell is expected to return as Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday later this year, a near‑term chance to expand the role and address past portrayals.
- Atwell also said she uses Peggy Carter’s line “I know my value” in contract talks, linking creative concerns about the character to broader questions of actor agency and how Marvel assigns legacy roles.
