The eagle-eared among you might have caught Hayley Atwell‘s Agent Peggy Carter mentioning Professor Stark whilst rounding up HYDRA assets in the season premiere of Marvel’s Agent’s of SHIELD. I know I did and it left me wondering if Iron Man’s dad would be showing up in the spin off when it begins later this year.
Well good news, Marvel.com have announced that Dominic Cooper has indeed signed up to reprise his role from Captain America in the series.
The Marvel article also gives a synopsis for the show,
“Marvel’s Agent Carter,” starring Captain America’s Hayley Atwell, follows the story of Peggy Carter. 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.”
Starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, Chad Michael Murray as SSR Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj as SSR Agent Daniel Sousa, James D’Arcy as Edwin Jarvis, and Shea Whigham as SSR Chief Roger Dooley, “Marvel’s Agent Carter” was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Executive producers are Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Chris Dingess, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Joe Quesada, Stan Lee and Jeph Loeb.
I’m certainly excited to see how Stark fits in, roll on 2015!
