As Marvel and ABC gear up for the second season of Agent Carter, executive producer and co-showrunner Tara Butters has been speaking to Slash Film about the new villain set to go up against Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter in Madame Masque.
“Here’s the thing,” said Butters, when asked about getting access to Marvel villains. “It’s a little hard. In the comic books, a lot of the Marvel period, there are issue rights. Our villain from the season is very much a Marvel villain that we co-opted a little bit like we did Dr. Fennhoff in the first season. We’ve co-opted [Madame Masque]. I think we’ve changed the look of her a bit obviously. We’ve made her an actress, which is very Hedy Lamar. She was a ‘40s siren actress who was also a scientific genius, so that’s part of what we’re mining with this character.”

Butters went on to reveal that the role as been cast, but they are not making the announcement just yet.
Season 2 of Agent Carter will air during the midseason break of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3.
