Agent Carter (movie)

Agent Carter is a Marvel One-Shot short movie that was released in 2013 as part of the promotion for the home media release of Iron Man 3. The movie is directed by Louis D'Esposito and features Hayley Atwell reprising her role as Peggy Carter, a character introduced in Captain America: The First Avenger.

In Agent Carter, set in the post-World War II era, Peggy Carter is navigating life as a woman in a male-dominated workplace within the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR). The movie follows her as she undertakes a mission to retrieve a stolen piece of technology developed by Howard Stark, who is also a prominent character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The short showcases Peggy's resourcefulness, resilience, and combat skills, emphasizing her role as a capable agent.

The successful reception of the One-Shot led to the development of the Agent Carter television series, which aired for two seasons from 2015 to 2016. The series further explores Peggy's adventures and challenges as she balances her work in the SSR with her personal life, and it delves deeper into her character and the societal issues of the time.
