Hayley Atwellhas been in the MCU right from the start, first introduced as Peggy in 2011’sCaptain America: The First Avengerand went on to make numerous appearances throughout the ‘Infinity Saga’ even gettingAgent Carterstandalone series. Post-Endgame,she returned in theWhat If…?animated series as Captain Carter and brought the character to live-action again inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessas part of the Illuminati. However, the actress recently shared that her cameo as Captain Carter wasn’t satisfying due to creative reasons.
While fans think that an actor who has been a mainstay of the franchise will have more creative control or input about their character, Atwell revealed in a new podcast a tense moment fromMultiverse of Madnesswhere she was “able to stand up for myself with grace.” The actor shared thather cameo in the movie was like “blink and you’ll miss me. And I really sort of took umbrage with the fact that she has that brilliant line: ‘I could do this all day.’ Then she’s frisbee’d to death with her own shield, andI’m like, she’s so undermined. And it just got pulled out from her. It’s kind of a funny moment.” The actor recounted,
“ I remember going up to, to a very lovely person who was in a very high position there, and I won’t name and shame, but I was like, ‘Oh, do you think maybe we could… Can I offer you a possibility that I actually come in from that side and suggest if I did that line there,’ and I just came up with an offering technically, which I love doing, because a lot of directors will go, ‘Oh, great, try something.’”
However, the person in the high position did not take it well. Atwell explained, he went, “‘Oh, sure, Hayley, I’ll just tell our Oscar-winning editor that you have some choices you’d like to make. And, yeah, don’t you worry about that. I’ll make sure he gets a memo.’” Atwell further divulged that whoever she spoke to diffused the confrontation, joking: “‘Oh, I’m just kidding. I’m just bullying you. Don’t worry.’” And she had the perfect response. “I went, ‘you may’t bully me. I’ve got a jetpack on.’”
Hayley Atwell Will Return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
Atwell played a significant role in the MCU to the point where the ‘Infinity Saga’ ended with the fairytale notion of Peggy and Steve getting their dance, finally, in the closing image ofEndgame. She will return to the franchise, reprising her role in the upcomingAvengers: Doomsday. While not much is known about her character arc, we’re sure it’ll be the one worthy of her talents.
