Hayley Atwell is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Peggy Carter in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
This announcement follows news that Chris Evans will also reprise his MCU role, though it remains unclear whether he will appear as Captain America.
Deadline confirmed Atwell’s involvement, specifying she will portray Agent Carter rather than Captain Carter, the character she embodied in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While details about their roles are scarce, speculation abounds regarding their appearances—whether in significant storylines or brief multiversal sequences.
Atwell’s Peggy Carter has been a beloved character since her debut in Captain America: The First Avenger. Her romance with Steve Rogers concluded in Avengers: Endgame with a time-traveling reunion, seemingly closing their chapter. However, her return suggests Marvel may delve further into her story.
The MCU’s expansion continues with new teams and fresh storylines emerging through its Disney+ series. Despite some fans questioning Marvel’s decision to revisit older characters, Atwell’s talent and Carter’s enduring appeal have generated excitement.
Directed by a yet-to-be-announced filmmaker, Avengers: Doomsday will hit theaters on May 1, 2026, leaving fans eager to see how Peggy Carter’s story intertwines with the future of the Avengers.
