Marvel fans might miss Agent Peggy Carter, but Hayley Atwell was quite fine to bid the character adieu when ABC cancelled her eponymous show in 2016.

“As an actor, you give what you can, you do your job and some roles are going to have more impact than others,” she said during a recent press day for Disney’s Christopher Robin. “Within the Marvel world, this has had lasting impact because of the nature of the franchise being an expansive, ongoing thing.”

The 36-year-old British-American actress landed the plum role of Carter in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, who proved to be a fan-favourite. She then reprised Peggy in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man and a Marvel One Shot.

Agent Carter lasted two seasons, and the character died in Captain America: Civil War, but fans still wonder whether we’ve seen the last of her.

Atwell is unsure. She’s already looking ahead to new and different things. In addition to her supporting role in Christopher Robin that sees her playing the wife of Ewan McGregor’s lead character she’s just wrapped the period drama, The Long Song.
