**Los Angeles, CA** – Hayley Atwell, known for her role as Agent Peggy Carter in the Captain America films and the Agent Carter series, is officially returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Deadline reports that Atwell is expected to reprise her iconic role in the upcoming Avengers film, *Avengers: Doomsday*.
The announcement follows the confirmation that Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. will also appear in the film, although their specific roles remain undisclosed. Speculation abounds that Evans may return as Captain America, and Downey Jr. may take on a villainous role. The reunion of Atwell and Evans has been highly anticipated by fans, especially given their previously discussed, but ultimately shelved, standalone film.
This move by Marvel comes after a 2023 that saw a mixed reception to its new generation of heroes. The studio is seemingly banking on the popularity of its original stars to recapture audience interest. The success of *Deadpool & Wolverine* earlier this year demonstrates the continued appetite for familiar faces, and the addition of Atwell, Evans, and Downey Jr. to the *Avengers: Doomsday* cast is widely seen as a strategic effort to reignite fan enthusiasm for the MCU.
