[Spoilers for Captain America: Civil War ahead]

In an interview with IGN, Hayley Atwell started quite a stir with her comments about the idea of Cap dating her character’s niece, Sharon in Captain America: Civil War. He kissed her in the new film, to which Atwell claimed “[Peggy] would be turning over in her grave.”

“…I wouldn’t want to date my great aunt’s guy. It just feels like it crosses an incestuous boundary. And Peggy just died. That’s even more disrespectful, right? It’s like, ‘don’t touch that. You can’t tap that!'”

The romance seemed to start in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where it was eventually revealed that she was spying on him for S.H.I.E.L.D.

Atwell was probably joking around, but it did raise some questions. What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic in the comments.

Briefly: Following last week’s announcement that its second season premiere would be delayed by two weeks, iTunes has exclusively debuted the very first clip from Agent Carter‘s upcoming second season.

The clip features Jarvis teaching the just-arrived Peggy all about life in California. Sure, it doesn’t offer too much insight into what to expect this season, but we’re bound to see more clips before the January premiere.

The upcoming second season stars Hayley Atwell in the titular role of the unstoppable secret agent for the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve). Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy must now journey from New York City to Los Angeles for her most dangerous assignment yet. But even as she discovers new friends, a new home–and perhaps even a new love–she’s about to find out that the bright lights of the post-war Hollywood mask a more sinister threat to everyone she is sworn to protect.

Take a look at the clip below, and let us know what you think! Agent Carter premieres on January 19th!

Briefly: Another day, another new piece of promotional material for Agent Carter‘s upcoming second season.

Today, following yesterday’s announcement that the second season premiere would be delayed by two weeks, ABC has debuted a stylish new poster for the upcoming season.

Sure, it doesn’t teach us anything new about the upcoming episodes (aside from the fact that Peggy Carter is still stylish as hell), but in any case, it’s a great image that precedes a likely fantastic second season.

Briefly: Thanks, Obama.

Agent Carter was set to begin its sure-to-be-awesome second season on January 5th, but amidst a myriad of excellent (short) teasers, TV Guide has revealed that the season two premiere will not make its previously scheduled debut.

Why not?

Well, the arguably more important (definitely more important) State of the Union address has been scheduled for the following week, on January 12th.

So instead of having a huge gap after the premiere, Agent Carter has opted to simply begin on January 19th so the POTUS can say what he needs to say.

Briefly: Following the very first footage from Agent Carter‘s upcoming second season from a few weeks back, ABC has just debuted another look at the anticipated episodes entitled ‘Peggy Carter is Back’.

And back she is! The teaser showcases Ms. Carter doing what she does best; kicking butt and doing spy-stuff.

In any case, it’s a short but satisfying look at just what’s in store for us this January.

The poster debuted today at Entertainment Weekly, which notes that Agent Carter will be a part of theMarvel’s Television Presents: Agents of Primetime panel at NYCC on Friday, Oct. 9 at 6 p.m. ET.

I’m excited. Are you excited? We don’t know what season two has in store for us, I’m almost looking forward to Agent Carter‘s return more than Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s (and it’s not just because I have a crush on Hayley Attwell).

 

 

Briefly: Details on this one are yet to be revealed, but LegionofLeia learned today that the man himself, Stan Lee will be making a cameo appearance on Marvel’s Agent Carter sometime next year.

Stan has of course appeared on Marvel’s other ABC series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and we’re pretty excited to see where he’ll pop up here.

We’ll be sure to keep you informed as we learn more about the cameo! You can watch (or rewatch) the Agent Carter sneak peek below, and be sure to let us know if you’re excited for the series!

ABC presents its second action packed series from the creative minds at Marvel in “Marvel’s Agent Carter,” inspired by the feature films Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger” and Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” along with the short “Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter.”

 

Years before Agent Coulson and his S.H.I.E.L.D. team swore to protect those who cannot protect themselves from threats they cannot conceive, there was Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell, Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”), who pledged the same oath but lived in a different time when women weren’t recognized as being as smart or as tough as their male counterparts.

 

But no one should ever underestimate Peggy.

 

It’s 1946 and peace has dealt Peggy a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy finds herself stuck doing administrative work when she would rather be back out in the field; putting her vast skills into play and taking down the bad guys. But she is also trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life, Steve Rogers – aka Captain America.

 

When old acquaintance Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper, Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger”) finds himself being framed for unleashing his deadliest weapons to anyone willing to pony up the cash, he contacts Peggy – the only person he can trust – to track down those responsible, dispose of the weapons and clear his name. He empowers his butler, Edwin Jarvis (James D’Arcy, “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World”), to be at her beck and call when needed to help assist her as she investigates and tracks down those responsible for releasing these weapons of mass destruction. But Jarvis, who is a creature of habit and sticks to a rigid daily routine, is going to have to make some major life changes if he’s going to be able to keep up with Peggy.

 

If caught going on these secret missions for Stark, Peggy could be targeted as a traitor and spend the rest of her days in prison – or worse. And as she delves deeper into her investigation, she may find that those she works for are not who they seem, and she might even begin to question whether Stark is as innocent as he claims.

 

“Marvel’s Agent Carter” stars Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, James D’Arcy as Edwin Jarvis, Chad Michael Murray (“One Tree Hill,” “A Cinderella Story”) as Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj (“Dollhouse”) as Agent Daniel Sousa and Shea Whigham (“American Hustle,” “The Wolf of Wall Street”) as Chief Roger Dooley.

 

Tara Butters (“Resurrection”), Michele Fazekas (“Resurrection), Christopher Markus (Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”), Stephen McFeely (Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”), Chris Dingess (“Men in Trees”), Kevin Feige (Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Marvel’s The Avengers”), Louis D’Esposito (Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” Marvel’s “Iron Man 3”), Alan Fine (Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” Marvel’s “Thor”), Joe Quesada (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Marvel’s Avengers Assemble”), Stan Lee (“Spider-Man,” “Iron Man,” “The Incredible Hulk”) and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville,” “Lost,” “Heroes”) are executive producers. “Marvel’s Agent Carter” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

Briefly: Marvel revealed a very brief synopsis (along with some bad-ass teaser art) for their upcoming Agent Carter series all the way back in May, and the studio has now revealed a far longer, more detailed synopsis, as well as the full cast list for the project.

The new synopsis give us a much better idea of the series’ plot, and it definitely does a fantastic job of getting us excited for its premiere in 2015. Here it is:

Briefly: Following the teaser art and synopsis for the series released just last week, Marvel has just debuted an interview with series star Hayley Atwell, who talks of her hopes for the series’ first season, while also confirming that said season will run for eight episodes.

In the series “It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life–Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” along with the short “Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter.”

You can listen to Hayley’s insight via the interview below. Are you looking forward to the series? What do you hope to see when it premieres? Sound out below!

Early last week a deleted scene was released online from The Avengers that revealed that Peggy Carter, played by actress Hayley Atwell, was indeed still alive in the present. Bleeding Cool recently approached Atwell at the premiere of her new film, The Sweeney. The site asked if she would be involved in the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier to which the actress replied:

“I can’t say yet because it hasn’t been officially released, and Marvel are very protective of their franchise.”

Which basically just translates into “Yes, I am coming back but I am not allowed to tell you guys yet.” While her involvement could just take place in flashbacks there is definitely a chance we could see a heavily emotional scene involving Steve Rogers visiting her in the present day. This would definitely add on to the “man out of time” theme that is meant to be portrayed in the upcoming sequel and maybe Steve will finally get that dance after all these years.
