Hayley Atwell‘s Peggy Carter made a glorious comeback in 2022′s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness only to be killed off within minutes of returning to the screen.

The 41-year-old actress, who first portrayed the character in 2011′s Captain America: The First Avenger, opened up about her brief return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a recent interview.

She didn’t pull any punches when it came time to reveal her thoughts on being decimated by Elizabeth Olsen‘s Scarlet Witch, either.

While on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Hayley said that she got “so much slack” for her scenes.

“I’m like, ‘That wasn’t my choice,’” she said. “When she was like, ‘I could do this all day’ and then followed by she’s immediately cut in half by a frisbee. And the audience being like, ‘She can’t do it all day.’ Apparently you can’t. So, egg on your face.”

Hayley added that it “doesn’t really serve Peggy very well” and said it “felt like a frustrating moment.”

Conversely, she had really positive things to say about her appearance in the Marvel animated series What If…?

“I felt like I had much more to do,” she explained. “I mean, any actor will tell you, to be able to go into a booth in effectively your pajamas and do an animation is great fun because you’re focused on the voice as the instrument and your main performative tool.”

The actress also played Peggy in a spin-off series called Agent Carter. Back in 2015, she revealed a sweet way that she paid tribute to the character.

Did you know that one of the movie’s main actors had not seen it months after it premiered.
