PeggyCarter is one of the MCU's first prominent female characters, and after years of playing second-fiddle, she's finally ready to claim the spotlight.
Like most female characters from the MCU, Peggy Carter is a pivotal yet undervalued player in the sprawling franchise. Introduced in the quickly forgotten Captain America: The First Avenger and played by the equally underrated Hayley Atwell, Peggy served as Steve Rogers’ love interest in the film, doing little more than supporting the title character as he journeyed from skinny boy with a heart of gold to hulking super soldier and Avenger.
Initially, Peggy was just another a strong yet routine female character. The First Avenger introduced her as the army’s sole woman in power at the height of World War II. Everyone respects her because the movie says so. Audiences see Steve’s journey from insecure boy to confident man of action, but much of Peggy’s evolution happens before the plot begins. Indeed, the film focuses on how she can help Steve cement the legacy of Captain America; her wants and needs become secondary to his.
A short-lived classic Agent Carter, a 15-minute short focusing on one of Peggy’s missions before the creation of S.H.I.E.L.D., opened the door for a television show focusing on the character. Marvel was still far away from its current shared television universe in those days, with only Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. holding any continuity with the MCU. Thus, Agent Carter was something of an experiment for Marvel, one that would test the viability of translating the MCU into the small screen.
A new beginning Following Agent Carter‘s cancellation, Peggy went into obscurity. She died during the events of Captain America: Civil War, putting a rather anticlimactic ending to this pioneer’s life. Three years later, Peggy returned to finally give Steve his long-awaited dance. Avengers: Endgame reunites the star-crossed lovers in one final twist that remains divisive among the fans.
Captain Carter introduced another major female hero to the MCU, one without Wanda’s instability, Black Widow’s questionable morals, or Captain Marvel’s attitude problems. Captain Carter is a born leader, forged in the hardships of war and sent through the multiverse thanks to the Tesseract’s antics. Like Captain America before her, Captain Carter is the ultimate soldier: Incorruptible, unflinching, uncompromising, and moral to a fault. And yet, she isn’t a Captain America rip-off.
