Although Peggy Carter's return in Avengers: Endgame was truly a surprise for most fans, Hayley Atwell revealed that she knew about it a long time ago. In addition to that, the Agent Carter star admitted that Peggy was only supposed to appear in two scenes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe flick.
Atwell recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about being asked to reprise her role as Peggy for Endgame. Interestingly, it was an easy job for the Blinded by the Light actress since it only took one day of shooting with Chris Evans.
"I think we shot that maybe two years ago. So, it was maybe a few weeks before then that I got the call saying, 'We're thinking about this… What do you think about it? It might end the whole franchise.' Then, it was an afternoon of filming about two years ago," Atwell said.
For fans who were hoping that maybe there was a deleted scene where Peggy had more scenes with Steve Rogers, Atwell reveals that those were the only scenes she filmed.
"We filmed just those two things. You see me through the office blinds, and then that scene with the slow-dancing. Those were the two that I was always intended to film," she said.
Although it seems unlikely that we'll see Peggy again in the MCU, it's still great to know that she lived happily ever after with Steve.
The Avengers: Endgame DVD and Blu-ray is out now.
