When ABC cancelled Agent Carter, it was a sad day for us all, mostly because it was one less place we could see Hayley Atwell own it as Peggy Carter. Then the character passed away in Captain America: Civil War and it seemed like we were well and truly done with ever seeing Peggy again. Well, surprise! Hayley Atwell is returning to play the character once again, though not in the way some might be hoping. Atwell will be voicing Peggy Carter in an upcoming episode of the animated series, Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars.

According to ComicBookMovie.com, Hayley Atwell will lend her voice talents to the role of Peggy Carter for the cartoon, Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars. Formerly known as Marvel’s Avengers Assemble, the series airs on Disney XD and changes its name per season based on whatever the main plot or villain is. This year the famous Secret Wars comic book storyline seems to be the inspiration for the name change, hinting that the Avengers will be getting into some multiverse shenanigans. Atwell will voice a time displaced Peggy who, alongside Howard Stark, teams up with Captain America and Iron Man to defeat the time traveling villain, Kang the Conqueror. That’s something that would be awesome to see in live action, but cartoon works too.

While many would rather see Hayley Atwell resume the role in a live-action capacity, getting Peggy Carter in any form is a win for fans. Carter is a fan favorite character and there’s a lot of reasons why she, of all characters in the MCU, was selected to get a spin off television series. Chief among those reasons is Atwell herself and her brilliant performance of the character. It also helps that the actress seems to really like playing the character, meaning we can probably count on seeing her in the role at least a few more times; you can never go wrong with a good flashback!

Netflix’s “Agent Carter” series may have been dropped from the roster but there is hope. Peggy Carter may just come back in Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While her character is already dead in the recent “Captain America: Civil War” movie, Hayley Atwell’s character still plays a major role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly, in origins of S.H.I.E.L.D as its creator and founder.

After two seasons of the Netflix series, fans are worried that she’s never coming back. But Atwell is 100% open to playing Peggy Carter again. “I love Peggy,” Atwell said at MegaCon in Orlando. “I love the people that were working on this project together. The fans are incredibly warm and welcoming. And it would be an absolute privilege and honor to bring her back for the fans.”

It is unclear, however, whether it is going to be in a third season, a spin-off or a movie. TV Guide has it that an “Agent Carter” movie could focus on how the SSR ultimately becomes S.H.I.E.L.D. Atwell herself pointed that out. She also teased about the possibility of a third season. Cinema Blend has it that there was talk of a third season.

“There was talk of Season 3 of going further back into her past,” Atwell recalled. “So the showrunners were talking about a possible kind of twist, I suppose, into something to do with the family. … They suggested there would be more to do with my brother. So that’s all I can say.” This suggests the possibility of further exploring her origins. If ever Peggy Carter decides to come back, she’d be happy to play the role again. Atwell even promised to split her time between “Conviction” and Marvel.

There is still no official confirmation that “Agent Carter” will appear for the third time, on Netflix. Now, fans can only get their Hayley Atwell fix when her new ABC Drama titled “Conviction” hits the screens. [Source]

Disney and Netflix have just worked out a deal that gives the streaming site exclusive access to their catalog starting in September. That means if you subscribe to an online streaming service, you won’t be seeing The Lion King, any of the Star Wars films, or the likes of the Avengers anywhere else. This also means that some Disney owned properties, like the canceled Agent Carter, are hitting the rumor mill with a second chance at life.

Agent Carter, which aired two seasons on ABC, was canceled right before the network’s upfront presentation this year, prompting plenty of fan outcry. There’s already a petition in place from fans who want to see Netflix pick up the Hayley Atwell fronted series for more episodes, and if the rumored deal goes down, fans could get that, but maybe not quite how they wanted.

According to ExStreamist, a site that covers news for all streaming platforms, Agent Carter could be picked up by Netflix as an original series to go along with its other Marvel shows. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the show would pick up where the ABC series left off. And that doesn’t even mean the same cast would be back. Continue reading  »

Hayley Atwell is astoundingly famous on the Internet for her portrayal of Peggy Carter. From Twitter to Facebook, everyone is clamoring for an Agent Carter season 3 announcement.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong the internet loves a celebrity, online raves just aren’t enough to save certain shows. It happened with Firefly and it might happen to Agent Carter, because the sad reality is that if widescale viewership is low, networks are bound to pull the plug on a program.

Agent Carter season 3 was almost always shaky, starting when Atwell announced that she will star in a lead role in another ABC program, the legal drama Conviction. And while both Atwell and the network have expressed their desire to keep both her commitments as Agent Peggy Carter and her new show, it’s not looking like a priority considering Agent Carter’s low numbers. Moreover, many fans saw her commitment with Conviction as a sign that she’s ready to start moving on from her life as Peggy.

With regards to the ratings, Fansided reported that the season 2 finale attracted only 2.35 million viewers. This is only roughly a third of the number who came and watched the series premiere last January 2015. But another reason for the dire fate of season 3 is that Marvel’s coming up with another program which could take the spotlight from Agent Carter: “Marvel’s Most Wanted.” [Source]
