CAPTAIN AMERICA Star Returns to the MCU

Looks like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans aren’t the only ones returning to the Marvel universe — CAPTAIN AMERICA star Hayley Atwell is officially back in the MCU!
It’s still unknown what Atwell’s exact role is, but Deadline reported that sources told them she is “expected to reprise her Agent Carter role” in the upcoming AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY.
Atwell played Agent Peggy Carter in the first two CAPTAIN AMERICA movies, as well as in the 2015 series AGENT CARTER. She has also appeared in high-profile projects like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — DEAD RECKONING PART ONE and the upcoming PADDINGTON IN PERU.
Atwell’s CAPTAIN AMERICA co-star Evans will also appear in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, but it’s unknown whether or not he will be playing the patriotic superhero.

According to many, this onscreen reunion has been a long time coming for Atwell and Evans.
“The pair were initially in talks to return in their own co-starring movie, presumably picking up in the years after Steve returned to the past and married Peggy at the end of AVENGERS: ENDGAME,” Total Film wrote. “However, a story for the film couldn’t be settled on, so the pair’s reunion and return as Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter has apparently been shifted over to AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY.”
With this latest casting announcement, along with Evans and Downey Jr returning to the MCU, many are wondering if this is Marvel’s attempt at winning back any lost fans.
“Although the studio did have a big win with the sole movie it put in theaters this year — the billion-dollar DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE — it’s coming off of a 2023 that saw audiences largely indifferent to its efforts to create a new stable of heroes to fill out a second generation of superpowered stars,” the A.V. Club reported. “Hence why it now seems to be leaning so heavily on the old generation of stars.”
