Hayley Atwell didn't appreciate being "frisbeed to death" in Multiverse Of Madness
Atwell briefly appeared as Captain Peggy Carter in the Doctor Strange sequel, where she met the same fate as many other MCU refugees.
Hayley Atwell, who played Agent Peggy Carter in Marvel's Captain America films, expressed disappointment with how her character was portrayed in 'Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness'. Atwell, speaking at a convention in London, said she was "frisbeed to death" in a scene that felt like a "bum steer and a complete disservice to the character".
The version of Agent Carter in the film had a Union Jack-adorned vibranium shield, a new costume, and a jetpack, but it was the character's sudden demise that Atwell found problematic. She loved the idea of her character in the slick new suit and shield, but she was not pleased with how her character was positioned in the scene.
Atwell tried to suggest changes on set, but was told "sure, but no". She hopes to redeem Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday.
