Hayley Atwell Wants Peggy Carter to Appear (and Star) in More Marvel Movies
Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter is a character loved by fans; a strong woman who's immensely talented and has more than proven her worth to the MCU. She was instrumental in the creation of S.H.I.E.L.D. and, as we have seen from the two series of Agent Carter, even helped save the world a couple of times as well. But sadly, Agent Carter was cancelled by ABC and all we've heard of Peggy since then was the news of her death in Captain America: Civil War.

As the acclaimed studio look to turn this around in 2017, Michael Keaton's portrayal of Adrian Toomes in Spider-Man: Homecoming has been met with universal praise. Many fans cite the sympathetic nature of his character as one of the key factors in this success - but Keaton wasn't the only actor who wanted the role.
