Hayley Atwell, known for her role as Peggy Carter, expressed her disappointment with the character’s death in the 2022 film *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*. She stated the manner of her character’s demise felt like a disservice to the character’s established arc.
Atwell shared her frustrations during an appearance at the For the Love of Fantasy & Sci-Fi convention in London. She was discussing her portrayal of Captain Carter, an alternate version of Captain America, when she addressed the storyline in *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*. The film saw her character quickly killed off.
According to Atwell, she was frustrated by the way Captain Carter met her end in the film. She specifically referenced the scene where her character is “frisbeed to death.” Atwell stated, “I was frustrated because I was like, ‘Oh, I get it. It’s a quick way to show that this universe is dangerous and that Steve Rogers didn’t make it,’ but it was a complete disservice to the character.”
Atwell’s comments highlight her concern that the character’s death served merely as a plot device to emphasize the danger of the multiverse and the alternate fate of Steve Rogers, rather than a meaningful conclusion to Captain Carter’s story. She did not elaborate further on what she would have preferred for the character’s arc.
