“Marvel’s Agent Carter” Debuts Tuesday on ABC
Published at
Marvel(NEW YORK) — On Tuesday, ABC will kick-off its limited run series Marvel’s Agent Carter. Hayley Atwell reprises her role as Peggy Carter — the love of Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers/Captain America — seen in both of the spangly Avenger’s blockbuster movies.
As in the “One Shot” short film Agent Carter on which the show’s based, Peggy, still working for the S.H.I.E.L.D. forerunner agency the Strategic Scientific Reserve, sees her role as a wartime super-spy reduced in a male-dominated postwar world.
Whether it be hiding her job from her roommate, or cracking cases behind the backs of her fellow Strategic Scientific Reserve agents who have the fearless agent fetching coffee and filling out paperwork, Carter shows sometimes the best man for the job is a woman.
The two-episode premiere has Peggy trying to clear the name of her pal, inventor Howard Stark — yes, Iron Man’s dad — who is falsely implicated in trying to sell dangerous technology.
The first teaser trailer to Marvel’s upcoming movie Ant-Man will air during Agent Carter, which debuts at 8 p.m. Eastern time on ABC.
