Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter

Agent Carter was released during the early stages of Marvel's Phase Two, expanding the universe while providing insight into lesser-known characters. It also served as a step towards gender equality within the franchise, as it focused on a strong female character who was often overshadowed by her male counterparts.

• Exceptional acting by Hayley Atwell, who portrays Peggy Carter with charm and depth. The plot offers a fresh take on the Marvel universe, focusing on a lesser-known character's backstory. The themes of gender equality and post-World War II espionage are compelling and thought-provoking.
• The film serves as a bridge between Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and Agent Carter TV series (2015), providing valuable context for both.
• Features cameos from Marvel Cinematic Universe mainstays such as Howard Stark (played by Dominic Cooper) and the introduction of the 0-8-4, a mysterious artifact later referenced in other MCU properties.

Fun Facts

• Howard Stark's laboratory in Agent Carter was actually Joss Whedon's (Avengers director) real house.
• The 0-8-4 artifact introduced in this movie is referenced again in the Marvel One-Shot: All Hail The King and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
• Agent Carter was originally intended to be a spin-off TV series titled S.A.C., but it was eventually developed as a mini-series.
