Hayley Atwell Returns as Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday

Hayley Atwell is set to reprise her role as Agent Peggy Carter in Marvel Studios' upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday, marking her return to the MCU after appearing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The film, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, is scheduled for release on May 1, 2026, and is expected to be a significant installment in the MCU's multiverse saga. Although there were initial plans for a standalone Peggy Carter movie, those fell through, leading both Atwell and Marvel to view Avengers: Doomsday as a fitting opportunity to bring her character back. Chris Evans is also rumored to return, although the specifics of his role remain unclear. As Atwell's character has been central to the MCU since debuting in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, her involvement is anticipated to resonate with fans. Marvel has not yet commented on the casting or plot details for the film.
