Here’s How Depressingly CloseAgent CarterWas to Survival

If you ’re still smart over the going of Agent Carter , then news of how it was close to making a return is n’t probable to help you cheer up up . But grant to Hayley Atwell , for a good stop of time , ABC was affirmative about the show existing alongside Atwell ’s new office in legal drama Conviction .

speak toComic Book Resourcesrecently about Conviction , Atwell stated that when ABC approached her about the Modern leading function , it was n’t to seal Agent Carter ’s doomsday , but for her to merrily star in both show . But while Atwell was leave unsure of either show ’s likely fates , there were always option for more adventure with Peggy :

So when this pilot came about , ABC suppose , “ Well , this is not where we ’re cancelling Agent Carter . This is a great new project . We really need you in the center of attention of it . We require to see if it ’s going to go . ” And then , there were talk of , “ Do we do an Agent Carter special ? Does [ Conviction ] not get pick up , and Agent Carter does ?

It really does seem like Agent Carter ’s selection was up in the tune until the very last moments , despite theencroaching feelingin the viewing of the show ’s 2nd season that it was already doomed .

I think they would have figured something out in terms of making a peculiar , or expect until we finish this season , and then we do something else with another web , perhaps . All I ’m saying with that is , it ’s still a much - enjoy show for the people involved in the fashioning of it , and we know that the fan , it has a special place in their hearts . I would be very felicitous to go back to her if she became uncommitted .

… I would love it to be . I hound [ Marvel Studios co - president Louis ] D’Esposito on a regular basis , saying , “ Give me a flick ! ” I cerebrate the swell thing about Peggy is , we know from Winter Soldier that she lives a long life , so she can come back . I ’m bank on , when I ’m in my fifties , I ’m like , “ This is the time . Let ’s see what Peggy ’s up to in this decade . ”
