Don’t Worry, All Your Favorites Are Coming Back for the New Mission: Impossible Sequels

Did you really think Christopher McQuarrie was going to make two more Mission: Impossible movies and not bring back Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, and Vanessa Kirby? Well, confirming everyone’s assumptions, on a new podcast the writer and director of the last two Mission movies said all three actors will in fact be reprising their roles…

An Agent Carter Character (Who Is Not Peggy) Will Guest on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD

Marvel’s beloved but short-lived Agent Carter series is getting a little timey wimey with a character crossover into the world of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD for its final season. Sadly, it’s not Peggy Carter…at least not yet. According to Entertainment Weekly, Enver Gjokaj will reprise his role as Daniel Sousa, a WWII veteran who became…

Peggy Carter? Meet Ethan Hunt. Well, okay, probably not, but possible time travel fanfiction I may or may not be working on aside, here’s some fun casting news: Hayley Atwell, known for playing Peggy Carter in the Marvel films and on TV’s Agent Carter, has signed on to join the next Mission: Impossible film. As…

Christopher Robin Is Incredibly Dreary for What Should Be a Happy Trip Down Memory Lane

Remember the first time you tried alcohol? How it was gross and off-putting but eventually it got better? Later, maybe you grew to like it but you always knew something wasn’t right about it? That was the first (admittedly strange) thing I thought of after seeing Disney’s Christopher Robin, a movie that starts weird, gets…

The First Trailer for Disney’s Christopher Robin Will Melt Your Heart

I wasn’t ready to see a live-action Winnie the Pooh this morning. I just wasn’t. But the first trailer for Disney’s Christopher Robin is here.

Hayley Atwell Returns as Peggy Carter in an Adorable Avengers: Secret Wars Clip

We all miss Peggy Carter. Whether it’s because in current MCU continuity she’s left us, or simply that Agent Carter is no longer airing, the SSR’s finest left a hole in our hearts. Having Hayley Atwell return, albeit briefly, to voice the beloved character in the Avengers cartoon series at least temporarily fills it. Especially…

Here’s How Depressingly Close Agent Carter Was to Survival

If you’re still smarting over the loss of Agent Carter, then news of how it was close to making a return isn’t likely to help you cheer up. But according to Hayley Atwell, for a good period of time, ABC was optimistic about the show existing alongside Atwell’s new role in legal drama Conviction. Speaking…

Hayley Atwell Perfectly Sums Up the Creepiness of Captain America’s New Love Interest

If you’ve seen both Captain America: Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, then you know that the first one sets up a possible relationship between Agent 13 (Emily VanCamp) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), and the other just throws that relationship together out of nowhere. Well, Hayley Atwell has weighed in. Of all the…

Hayley Atwell Thinks There’s Still Hope for More Agent Carter

After two seasons, Agent Carter is sadly no more. Or is it? Peggy herself wants to take up the fight to keep hope for more spyfi adventures alive—and she’ll do whatever it takes to do so. Atwell’s comments come from her appearance at MegaCon last weekend, where naturally she spent a great deal of time…

ABC Has Canceled Marvel’s Agent Carter

After two seasons of fighting crime, Agent Carter has been given her walking papers. The ABC show, based on a character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been canceled. The show’s ratings slipped considerably in the second season—and with star Hayley Atwell already signed for another show (it’s called Conviction), the writing was on the…

Marvel’s Agent Carter Has Become One of the Best Comedies on Television

Agent Carter’s first season was a terrific blend of humor and darkness, as a sexist establishment crushed Peggy’s spirit. But season two is shaping up to be much more of a comedy, while still keeping the same themes. And holy crap, is it more fun than a bathtub full of silly string. See for yourself—the…

Hayley Atwell’s Got a New Job, But What About Agent Carter?

Hayley Atwell’s been cast as the lead in ABC’s Conviction. Which is great for her, but does make us wonder if this means that Agent Carter is done after its second season. Conviction has Atwell playing Carter Morrison, a “brilliant but rebellious daughter of a former president” who is blackmailed into working for Los Angeles’…
