Hayley Atwell returning to MCU for new Avengers movie

As a long-time fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I can’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia and excitement upon hearing that Hayley Atwell is returning to the MCU as Agent Peggy Carter in “Avengers: Doomsday.” My first encounter with Agent Carter was back in 2011, and her character has been a staple in my Marvel viewing experience ever since. From her role as Steve Rogers’ love interest during World War II to her leadership at SHIELD, Atwell’s portrayal of Carter has always been captivating and inspiring.

Hayley Atwell is returning to the MCU as part of the cast of Avengers: Doomsday.

In Deadline’s report, it’s confirmed that the actress will once again take on the character of Agent Peggy Carter for the upcoming fifth Avengers movie.

In 2011, Atwell made her debut as a MI6 agent in “Captain America: The First Avenger.” During this time set in World War II, Carter developed into Steve Rogers’ romantic interest.

Following the war, Carter became one of the founders of SHIELD – where she serves as director.

In the latest installment of the franchise, which was released in 2022 (specifically, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), Atwell portrayed an altered version of her character, Captain Carter.

In an striking scene, Elizabeth Olsen’s character, the Scarlet Witch, decisively hurled a shield at Carter, resulting in a fatal wound that split her body in two.

As a gamer, I’ve had the privilege to be part of Agent Carter’s world, join forces with Captain America in The Winter Soldier, stand tall among the Avengers in Age of Ultron, shrink down for Ant-Man adventures, and fight alongside my fellow Avengers in Endgame.

In “Doomsday,” we can expect the return of Chris Evans, although details about his character haven’t been disclosed yet. Initially, both Hayley Atwell and Chris Evans were intended for a separate film, but the plot never fully materialized.

Previously announced: Robert Downey Jr, famous for his role as Iron Man, is set to rejoin the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an upcoming movie, taking on the character of Victor Von Doom, also known as Doctor Doom, this time portraying a villain.

After the surprising unveiling at Marvel’s Comic-Con 2024 panel in July, he commented, ‘A new role, but the mission remains the same.’ He enjoys portraying complex characters.

The Russo Brothers, Joe and Anthony, are set to direct both the upcoming movie and the sixth Avengers film titled “Secret Wars,” with Doctor Doom also appearing in it. After leaving the franchise in 2019, they have now returned to direct these films.

In the upcoming films, characters from The Fantastic Four, Captain America: Brave New World, and Thunderbolts* will make an appearance in not just one but two movies each.

Avengers: Doomsday will be released in cinemas on May 1, 2026.
