Hayley Atwell sparks speculation about Peggy Carter return in Avengers 4

September 24, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Over the past few days we’ve had confirmation of a number of stars for the currently-in-production Avengers 4 – including Don Cheadle (War Machine), Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier) and Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) – and now Hayley Atwell has sparked speculation that she could be set for a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Peggy Carter.

Atwell shared the following image to her Instagram account, complete with curlers in her hair and tracking dots across her face…

Given Marvel’s penchant for digitally de-aging and aging its stars using CGI, it’s possible that Atwell is teasing playing an older version of Peggy. Adding further fuel to the fire is a recent casting call for Avengers: Infinity War, which was seeking secretaries and female engineers for a small scene believed to take place in the 1960s. Of course, this may be for another project entirely, but with the scenes in question set to shoot in mid-October, it may not be too long until we get confirmation either way…

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.

Avengers: Infinity War opens on April 27th 2018 in the UK and May 4th 2018 in the US and will feature an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Paul Bettany (Vision), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Josh Brolin (Thanos), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Benedict Wong (Wong), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Sean Gunn (Rocket, Kraglin), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Benicio Del Toro (The Collector), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Letitia Wright (Shuri), Winston Duke (M’Baku) and Peter Dinklage, Terry Notary and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor in as-yet-unrevealed roles.
