MCU What If...? - 7 Biggest Takeaways From Episode 1

3. Captain Carter Needs Her Own Movie Or Series

What If...? Captain Carter
Marvel Studios

With the conclusion of Phase Three and the end of the Infinity Saga, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has since taken the opportunity to shift the focus more onto the supporting characters of the franchise, and in time, new additions like Shang-Chi, the Eternals, and Ms. Marvel, among many others.

The highlight has been moved on to Peggy Carter in episode one of What If…?, but there is no way that this will be enough. She has been confirmed to be appearing in every season of the show, and may yet appear in later episodes of season one, but again, she still deserves more.

As a badass super soldier, a strong female hero, and some new and exciting blood in the MCU, Marvel Studios would be stupid not to give her either her own series or her own movie. This could be fun in animation, but who could possibly say no to bringing Hayley Atwell in as Captain Carter in live action?

The rumour is that she will be making a cameo appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which hopefully could lead to a bigger role for her in the future. Whether she stays in her new branch of the multiverse, or she is somehow brought across to the main MCU continuity like Miles Morales after Secret Wars in the comics, a Captain Carter movie is too big of an opportunity for Marvel Studios to squander.
