Marvel Sets Another MCU Phase 1 Actor To Return In Avengers: Doomsday
Another star from the Marvel Cinematic Universe"s Phase 1 has joined Avengers: Doomsday. As the end of 2024 nears, Marvel Studios is hard at work locking down Avengers: Doomsday"s star-studded cast ahead of the film"s Spring 2025 production start. The movie was already announced to star names like Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, Pedro Pascal, and more. Recently, Chris Evans joined Avengers: Doomsday in a mystery role. After a new update, it seems like the Avengers franchise star will return with the expected character, and a major ally of his will also come back.
According to Deadline, Hayley Atwell will return as Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday. The report also mentions that "Chris Evans [is] likely reprising his Steve Rogers role" in the Avengers movie. Interestingly, the report states that Atwell is returning as "Agent Carter," even though Peggy died in the MCU"s main timeline in Captain America: Civil War. Evans" Steve Rogers and Atwell"s Peggy Carter made up one of the MCU"s most beloved couples. They got a happy ending in Avengers: Endgame, directed by Avengers: Doomsday"s Anthony and Joe Russo, leaving a question mark regarding how they"ll figure into Avengers: Doomsday"s story.
What Haley Atwell's Avengers: Doomsday Return Means There Are A Couple Of Ways Her Return Could Play Out Close The most likely outcome for Hayley Atwell"s Avengers: Doomsday casting is that the actress will be playing a version of Captain Carter. The character originated in Marvel Studios" animated What If...? series, becoming the show"s main hero, as she plays a key role in all three seasons of the series. Atwell has already played a live-action version of Captain Carter in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, though that member of the Illuminati was killed by the Scarlet Witch. With What If...? season 3 ending the series, Atwell"s main version of Captain Carter could make the jump to live-action.
