Hayley Atwell Slams Controversial Captain Carter Scene: 'A Complete Disservice to the Character'
Hayley Atwell doesn't hold back in slamming how poorly Captain Carter's death was handled in Doctor Strange's sequel film.
Peggy Carter's death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been criticized by her actress Hayley Atwell as a major disappointment. Atwell expressed her frustration at the convention For the Love of Fantasy & Sci-Fi in London, stating that she had attempted to propose different ways to portray her character's fight to the death with Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, but her suggestions were disregarded.
In the movie, Carter is depicted as Captain Carter, wielding a shield with a Union Jack logo, and tragically meets her demise alongside other heroes. Atwell lamented that her character's death was merely a "frisbee" to illustrate Wanda's strength. Despite a brief moment of quoting Steve Rogers' line "I could do this all day," the scene ultimately left her feeling that Captain Carter was reduced to a "lame" character.
Atwell hopes to see Carter reappear in Avengers: Doomsday, but the outcome of her character remains uncertain.
