Peggy Carter Getting 'Frisbeed to Death' in Doctor Strange Was 'A Complete Disservice,' Hayley Atwell Says
Peggy Carter's untimely demise in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was a "complete disservice to the character," Marvel actress Hayley Atwell has said.
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.
