Many fans are under the mistaken belief that
Marvel’s Agent Carter
is just a winter fill in series. However, this is not true, and the good news
is that there is a possibility that Marvel’s Agent Carter will return next year
for a second season. When this news might become official is unknown at this
time. However, Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas, two of the series executive producers, have stated that Agent Carter was never intended to be
a miniseries. A second season would be very welcome news to all the fans of the
series and that of Hayley Atwell, who plays Agent Peggy Carter.

As for her growing
popularity as Agent Carter, Atwell has lit up the screen with her no nonsense
investigation skills and her kick-ass battles, which is something not seen on
the small screen since the ending of such series as Xena, Warrior Princes,
Buffy the Vampire Killer, and Alias. No doubt many fans of these former series
have fallen under a similar enchantment with Marvel’s
Agent Carter as they did with these past series.
Marvel’s Agent Carter is about Peggy Carter, who was once very active as a spy during the portion of War
World II that involved the Red Skull, Hydra, and Captain
America. Yet, she is now sanctioned to desk work now that the war is over. Understandably,
her new status is hard for her to accept. However, all this changes when evil forces
set about to destroy inventor playboy Howard Stark by stealing and using
his most deadly weapon against world peace. With the help of Stark's butler, Edwin Jarvis
(James D'Arcy), Carter sets out to find those responsible and dispose of Stark’s
weapons.

For the first time ever, Jarvis has made
a live appearance on screen, and considering that the setting of the series is
1946, it is fitting the he comes to us as a young man. Howard Stark (Dominic
Cooper) has unalienable confidence in Carter’s and Jarvis’s abilities to clear
his name. In addition, as the father of Tony Stark, it is clear where his young
son gets his genius and his mega- egotistical personality.
Other characters in the
series are:
Enver Gjokaj
Agent Daniel Sousa played by Enver Gjokaj, who is most likely the
man Carter marries after she accepts that Captain America was not returning.
Agent Jack Thompson played
by Chad Michael Murray. Thompson treats Carter more as a secretary than a true agent.
Privately, he probably believes that as a woman, she belongs at home with a
infant on one hip and balancing a basket of clean laundry on the other.
Chief Roger Dooley played by Shea Whigham.
Chief Dooley is a working bureaucrat wanting to run his department as efficiently
as possible, but sometimes in her efforts to save Stark or Jarvis, Carter may hinder
Dooley’s progress.
