Hailey Disagrees With Peggy’s In Doctor Strange
During a podcast withย Happy Sad Confusedย hosted by Josh Horowitz, Hayley Atwell discussed her various roles in the movies, including Peggy. She reprised the role in Marvel’s ‘Doctor Strange: Multiverse Of Madness’, and in this different universe, she took the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers and went on to be called Captain Carter.
As the story took place in a different universe, there were a lot of possibilities for the character development of Peggyย butย theย narrative took an awful turnย accordingย to Atwell. Sheย wasn’tย happy about the fate of Peggy.
She was cut into half from her shield after the very famous dialogue of Captain America:ย โI could do this all day.โย And she added her lines to it by saying:ย โWhenย sheโsย like,ย โI could do this all dayโย and then followed byย sheโsย immediately cut in half by a Frisbee. And the audience being like,ย โSheย canโtย do it all day. Apparently youย canโt, so, egg on your face.“
