  • Hayley Atwell Teases Her Future With the MCU Beyond ‘Doctor Strange 2’

    Hayley Atwell Teases Her Future With the MCU Beyond ‘Doctor Strange 2’

    Hayley Atwell has been a mainstay with the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since the first Captain America film. While she hasn’t had a major role in the films, she got her own TV show with two seasons and was a recurring character throughout the MCU’s Infinity Saga. Many were surprised when she returned as Captain Carter in the What If…? series only to also reappear in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

    During a panel at 2022’s Awesome Con, as shared by the Cosmic Circus, Hayley Atwell was asked about her future and highlighted her experience playing her and hopes to grow beyond just being “a minor player” within the MCU. Yet, in regards to her future, she could only share the following:

    Well…I haven’t got news for you. But I share your enthusiasm. And I would love to if Marvel did find a home for her; that’s a home that feels worthy of her in terms of her evolution as a character and development as a character:

    There have been rumors that Marvel Studios is considering a live-action Captain Carter project, but it has not been officially unveiled. Plus, it would be quite surprising for viewers that saw her death at the hand of Wanda Maximoff in the Doctor Strange sequel. The multiverse is vast but it could become a challenge if they start introducing characters that don’t exist within the main MCU timeline. Yet, it could also open up many new opportunities to tell stories they otherwise couldn’t.

  • RUMOR: Live-Action ‘Captain Carter’ Project in Development

    RUMOR: Live-Action ‘Captain Carter’ Project in Development

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has given us a plethora of cameos that gave us a window into a different reality where the Avengers never formed but rather the Illuminati. Amongst its members were some heavy hitters from Marvel comics history, such as Black Bolt, Charles Xavier, and Mr. Fantastic. Yet, we also got the return of Captain Carter, a Variant we were first introduced to in What If…? with Haley Atwell returning to the role. While she pretty much headlined the first animated Marvel Studios animated series, it seems she might get a series or film of her own.

    As shared in The DisInsider Show‘s Rumor of the Week segment, Derek Cornell has unveiled some details regarding a potential Captain Carter series or film. While they seem to believe heavily in the former, they don’t rule out that a film could also result from her appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

    Hot off of Doctor Strange 2 and What If…?, we are hearing not for sure if it’s a series, but we’re hearing a Captain Carter live-action series. Series or movie, but something is in the works, live-action will be coming.

    If you’re wondering how she would return given she’s only half the woman she was before, it’s very likely they’d revisit the concept in another part of the multiverse. The animated version isn’t the same one we saw in Multiverse of Madness. As such, there are a lot of opportunities to revisit these characters in different versions across the multiverse, even if it might become quite confusing for viewers.

  • New ‘Multiverse of Madness’ Poster Teases Live-Action Debut of Captain Carter

    New ‘Multiverse of Madness’ Poster Teases Live-Action Debut of Captain Carter

    When Haley Atwell returned to voice Captain Carter in Marvel Studios canonical animated series, What If…?, it wasn’t long before rumors began to swirl that the character would eventually make the jump to live-action. In fact, we even speculated here that the What If…? Marvel Legends wave might have pointed in that very direction. Thanks to the new poster for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fans need speculate no longer.

    The magnificent new poster for the upcoming film shows what would seem to be the after effects of Strange’s spell in Spider-Man: No Way Home that broke open the multiverse. Among the images reflected on the shards of the broken window of the Sanctum Sanctorum, we can see the shield wielded by Captain Carter in What If…?.

    What role will Captain Carter play in the film? Rumors have her among the members of the Illuminati who were revealed in the latest trailer. We’ll all find out together when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters on May 6, 2022.

    ‘WHAT IF…?’ Episode 1 Tentacle Monster Is The Same One in Episode 4

    With so many rumors pointing to a Shuma Gorath appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it comes as no surprise that the tentacle creature that appeared in the Captain Carter episode of What If…? got fans hyped at a possible early tease. While do not know if that was actually Shuma Gorath, we at least know that the tentacle creature Doctor Strange summons in this latest episode is the same as the one Peggy fought.

    We spoke to production designer Paul Lasaine, who told us those two creatures are one and the same.

    We don’t actually say it is [the same one in this episode] but we’re pretty positive it is. In fact, even on a technical level, we used that creature as a template. 

    Regardless of whether it is Shuma Gorath or not, it is peculiar to see a recurring creature throughout the show. It would be weird if it wasn’t Shuma Gorath as we’re dealing with the very things that character is associated with i.e. the multiverse. That creature appearing in the latest episode does make us wonder if it’ll appear again later in the season. With an overarching story for the season, it would certainly make sense to have that consistency.
