Peggy Carter Getting 'Frisbeed to Death' in Doctor Strange Was 'A Complete Disservice,' Marvel Star Hayley Atwell Says
Atwell said Captain Carter’s abrupt death in Marvel’s 2022 film was a disservice to the character and hopes for a larger role in future projects.
- Marvel actor Hayley Atwell recently expressed frustration over the death of her character, Peggy Carter, in the 2022 film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, calling the scene a "complete disservice to the character."
- In the film, Carter appeared as an alternate version known as Captain Carter and member of the Illuminati, only to be killed seconds after quoting Steve Rogers by Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen.
- "If I'm brutally honest, I was so disappointed with how they positioned her," Atwell said, noting she pleaded with colleagues on set to alter the scene but her suggestions were politely declined.
- Social media users echoed the actor's frustration, with one writing, "COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE QUEEN HERSELF." Atwell previously discussed these misgivings on a 2023 podcast.
- Atwell will reprise her role as Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday, arriving in theaters December 18, and she hopes for future opportunities to portray the character with more depth and capacity.
