2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was an odd movie in many respects, most of them regarding the way it treated Wanda Maximoff (https://gizmodo.com/doctor-strange-2-scarlet-witch-madness-comics-sexism-1848919397) and her character post-WandaVision. A separate part of the film that rankled audiences as its second act digression to an alternate universe home to the Illuminati, which featured some surprise return cameos for Marvel alums like Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and Haley Atwell’s Peggy Carter. The latter was that world’s Captain Britain (https://gizmodo.com/a-brief-history-of-peggy-carter-as-captain-america-1847477644)—a variant first introduced in Marvel’s What If...? just a year prior—but before audiences could really wrap their heads around that, Peggy and most of the Illuminati proceeded to get wiped out by Wanda (https://gizmodo.com/best-movie-moments-of-2022-rrr-prey-barbarian-avatar-1849900733/slides/13).

It’s a surprisingly grim and mean-spirited bit of fanservice, and if you weren’t a fan of that detour, then Atwell shares your sentiment (https://www.cbr.com/hayley-atwell-doctor-strange-2-captain-carter-frustrating/). While doing promo for Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning, she admitted on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pctAlPoV7Wk) that it was a “frustrating moment” to get called in to get Darth Maul’d by her own weapon. “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.’ That doesn’t really serve Peggy very well.”
