Are the casting rumors about Hayley Atwell reprising her iconic role as Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday grounded in reality? The talented actress has shared her thoughts on the matter.
Back in 2024, reports indicated that Atwell was set to return as Peggy Carter in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday. However, during a viral livestream casting announcement detailing various stars involved in this upcoming crossover film, Atwell’s name was conspicuously missing. This absence not only raised doubts about the accuracy of the earlier reports but also slightly dampened fans’ hopes regarding her return as Agent Carter.
What Insights Did Hayley Atwell Provide Regarding the Avengers: Doomsday Casting Speculations?
In spite of the current uncertainties, online chatter suggests that Atwell remains a significant part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and could potentially reprise her role as Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday. In a recent conversation with Collider about her involvement in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Atwell was asked about the rumors regarding the Doomsday casting. She responded with curiosity, asking, “Really? What? Who? On Reddit? Who’s doing that? Who is saying that?”
When the interviewer mentioned, “the internet,” Atwell humorously replied, “Oh, that reliable source.” Although she did not explicitly confirm any details regarding her return, Atwell expressed her own uncertainty about the situation. She said, “Well, now I don’t know, because apparently the internet says I am. Yeah, I wish them well. I mean, it’s such a huge, huge franchise. They’re incredible,” further noting that she “has no control” over the decisions made by Marvel.
