Hayley Atwell Returning To MCU In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

Hayley Atwell is reportedly set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Avengers: Doomsday, per Deadline. Following the recent confirmation of Chris Evans’ comeback, Anthony Mackie’s return as Captain America, and news of Benedict Cumberbatch’s involvement as Doctor Strange, Atwell’s reprisal adds another familiar face to the growing roster for this pivotal instalment in Marvel’s Multiverse Saga.

Fans last saw Atwell in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where she portrayed a variant of Peggy Carter as a super soldier in the Illuminati. Her character sported the Union Jack and wielded a vibranium shield. However, the Peggy Carter most fans were familiar with was last seen in Avengers: Endgame, where Steve Rogers fulfilled his promise of a dance, reuniting with her in the past. Whether Avengers: Doomsday will revisit that storyline or introduce a new multiversal version of Peggy remains to be seen.

Atwell’s contributions to the MCU extend beyond the big screen. She starred in Marvel’s Agent Carter television series, which expanded on Peggy’s post-war adventures and cemented her as a cornerstone of the S.H.I.E.L.D’s early years.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the film promises to bring together an ensemble of Marvel’s most iconic characters. Robert Downey Jr. is also making his return to the MCU, but this time as the infamous Doctor Doom, signaling the multiverse’s limitless possibilities.

Scheduled for release on 1 May 2026, Avengers: Doomsday will set the stage for Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027. With Spider-Man 4 and several other Marvel projects filling the interim years, fans can expect the MCU to use these films to explore new dimensions, and reintroduce fan-favourite heroes.

While Atwell’s involvement remains unconfirmed, her potential return as Peggy Carter would bring nostalgic charm and emotional depth to this next chapter. Whether she joins the fight alongside Steve Rogers or appears as a multiversal variant, her presence could be a highlight of Marvel’s most ambitious crossover yet.
