Overview
- Atwell told attendees at the For the Love of Fantasy & Sci‑Fi convention Monday that she was “so disappointed” by how Captain Carter was positioned and called the brief Multiverse of Madness appearance a complete disservice to the character.
- She said she offered suggestions on set to expand or change the cameo but was told those ideas would not be implemented.
- Several outlets note the Multiverse of Madness Illuminati sequence primarily functions to show the film’s antagonist as dangerous, which left many cameo figures with little screen time or development.
- Atwell is confirmed or widely reported to be part of the cast for Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December 18, 2026, which sources present as an opportunity to restore Peggy Carter to a more substantial portrayal.
- Peggy Carter has been part of the MCU since 2011 and the Captain Carter variant grew out of What If...?; Atwell’s remarks — including that she uses Carter’s line “I know my value” in her own contract talks — add pressure on Marvel over how it handles legacy characters and actor input.
