Ever since she debuted in Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hayley Atwell‘s Peggy Carter became one of the fan-favorite characters, especially after making an appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as a live-action variant of What If…?’s character Captain Carter. Although that variant didn’t last long in the movie, with the Marvel Multiverse, there’s always a chance that we’ll see Atwell in Captain Carter suit again, and Atwell now shares she’s eager to play the role she’s most famous for again.

“Well…I haven’t got news for you. But I share your enthusiasm. And I would love to if Marvel did find a home for her; that’s a home that feels worthy of her in terms of her evolution as a character and development as a character. […] The experience I’ve had in playing her has given me the most incredible opportunity to hone my particular craft in this franchise. And I’ve got more to do, and because I feel the fans deserve that. In some ways, with a lot of people, she’s a minor player, and it wouldn’t make sense if I was to continue to be a minor player in that if it felt like, well, this is a different time. And also particularly as a woman with everything that’s happened the last few years. When she says in her timeline, ‘I know my value and everyone else’s opinion; it doesn’t matter,’ that’s really good.” — Hayley Atwell at AwesomeCon (via The Cosmic Circus)

Atwell joined the MCU with 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. She reprised the role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Avengers: Endgame, and earlier this year in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. She also starred in her own spin-off series Agent Carter for two seasons on ABC, and showed up in two episodes of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Last year she voiced her MCU character in the animated series What If…?, and it’s expected that she’s going to reprise the role in the upcoming second season.

Next year we’ll watch Hayley Atwell as Grace in the upcoming movie Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One, and she’s already set to reprise the role in Part Two in 2024. Atwell was also confirmed to voice Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider animated series.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
