With the announcement last night that "Marvel's Agent Carter" will be making its way to ABC, we knew you'd be hungry for more details on the coming series--and luckily we've got them for you, with the official synopsis for the new series right here on Marvel.com!
Hayley Atwell as Agent Carter
Starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, "Marvel's Agent Carter" is executive produced by Christopher Markus, Steve McFeely, Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Jeph Loeb.
Stay tuned to Marvel.com for the latest on "Marvel's Agent Carter" in the coming days and weeks, True Believers!
Really excited for this show too! Maybe some Howling Commandos could guest-spot as well, Gabe Jones & Peggy were a couple in the Captain America & Falcon Comics in the 70's. I really love the period possibilities... Zodiac is pretty much a given much from the Agent Carter short (although them in MAOS would also be welcome ;-)
I thought after the One Shot that SSR became SHIELD?
Can't tell if I should scream or scream...
Super. Hyped.
So excited! Marvel needs more female leads but I agree with demogorge, too much focus on that would be a minus
I really hope they keep her as she was in the movies and short film. Please keep the focus on an over arching story and not how life was difficult for woman back in the 1940's. If they do to much of that, then it'll get preachy, pretentious, and eye rolling.
My hope is other Hydra boss' like Madam Hydra or the children of the Red Skull make an appearance.
I could not be more excited. I haven't been this excited for a show in a long, long time. I hope her character isn't altered...I love her level head, her wit, and her virtue. Don't make her loosy goosy!!
I hope they show how Shield started and how Hydra got in without anyone knowing
I want to know if Dominic Cooper will be playing Howard. I'd love to see the show eventually work up to his death at the hands of Hydra.
@jemurr yup, but the series starts basically before the end of the one-shot as explained in this interview http://agentcarter.net/screenwriters-christopher-markus-stephen-mcfeely-talk-agent-carter/
@Boisv According to an article on http://agentcarter.net he'll probably be a recurring guest
@Fannish That's what I want to see. Now if they can only snag Tommy Lee Jones for at least one episode. Since the series will involve the foundation of SHIELD, they should really try and have the three people who's faces were hanging on that wall in Cap 3. Toby Jones as Arnim Zola would also be a nice addition.
