History Creator / HayleyAtwell

** ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]'' (2021) as Captain Carter
** ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' (2022) as a Captain Carter variant

She's best known for her role as [[Characters/MCUPeggyCarter Peggy Carter]] in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. Before gaining fame from her turn at Peggy in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', she took part in films like ''Film/CassandrasDream'', ''Literature/BridesheadRevisited'', ''Film/TheDuchess'', and theater productions such as ''Theatre/AViewFromTheBridge'' and ''Theatre/PrometheusBound''.

* PlayingGertrude: Atwell has played the role of Peggy Carter regardless of the character's age. In ''The Winter Soldier'' she plays Peggy now 70+ years older, with her reprising the role being deemed so important that when makeup tests proved unsatisfactory, Atwell instead played old Peggy with the help of motion capture. It was a huge step in special effects all for the sake of keeping her in the film, and in ''Ant-Man'' she also plays Peggy albeit "only" 40 years older, and Atwell does wear aging makeup. She's since suggested that the MCU crew could write something about Peggy set anywhere from the '50s to the '00s, and then just wait until she's the appropriate age to film it. Yeah, that's how much she loves this role.

* [[invoked]]SmurfetteBreakout: A major example of this. Few were expecting Peggy Carter to be the surprise star of the ''Film/CaptainAmerica'' films, especially since her character in the comics is at best an important footnote and DoomedByCanon to die of Alzheimer's. But Atwell's strong depiction of Peggy's independence even in the 40s coupled with great chemistry with Creator/ChrisEvans left fans clamoring for more of her, resulting in her getting [[Series/AgentCarter her own TV show]], several cameos in subsequent films, the very last scene of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' involving her character, and eventually an [[AlternateSelf alternate universe]] Peggy (voiced by Atwell) having a big role to play in ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]'', in which she becomes the SuperSoldier Captain Carter in the place of Steve Rogers.

%%Don't think that should be officially added as it still looks like rumors at the moment* RomanceOnTheSet: She and Creator/TomCruise started dating on the set of the seventh ''Mission: Impossible'' film.
