Hayley Atwell Says ‘Agent Carter’ Will Soon Get Over Steve Rogers And Find A New Love

In this interview clip from San Diego Comic-Con, Hayley Atwell and James D’Arcy unveil a few tidbits about the second season of Agent Carter. Atwell says she’s not worried about Peggy’s badass quotient, for “she doesn’t really need the praise of other people.” However, other characters will indeed fall in line with recognizing Peggy’s awesomeness: “I think people are just going to eventually catch up to her.” This is an overdue development for fans of Peggy, although it was important for viewers to observe the struggles her character endured to get things done.

Atwell also reveals how Peggy will soon move on romantically from Steve Rogers. She’ll never “fully” get over him, but, “I think she’s finally had closure. She’s had a whole season to grieve, and there’s room in her life for a new love now.” This was bound to happen, but poor Steve. At least she and Chris Evans had their last dance in the recent Carter vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. lip sync war.

D’Arcy gets a word in, too. We’ll soon learn more about a “hidden presence” in Jarvis’ life.
