It would have been hard for Marvel to match the amount of news that they gave us last week, but they did give us lots of news. Most of the news in this week's news revolves around the lovely Peggy Carter. There is also some news on other cameos in Avengers: Age of Ultron as well as an actress who wants the role of Captain Marvel. As a note, some of the news below could be considered as SPOILERS, so read with caution.
Heimdall and Loki in Age of Ultron
Idris Elba had an interview with Telegraph this past week and let a secret slip. He revealed that he has filmed a scene for Avengers: Age of Ultron with Tom Hiddleston. There are a few possibilities as to what scene they could be in. One possibility would be in a vision Thor sees provided by Scarlet Witch. Another possibility could be a post credit scene that sees Thor return to Asgard and set up Thor: Ragnarok.
Peggy Carter in Ant-Man
Project Casting is a business that posts casting calls for movies. This week, they posted a casting call for Ant-Man that asked for a stand in for Hayley Atwell! We already know that John Slattery is returning as Howard Stark in what is likely a flashback scene, so it is possible that Atwell will be joining that scene. It would also be cool to see a young Hank Pym interact with both of them.
Katheryn Winnick wants Captain Marvel
Ever since Marvel announced Captain Marvel, fans have been looking for potential women to take up the role. A popular choice has been the star of Vikings, Katheryn Winnick. One fan has even made some impressive fan art that Katheryn has noticed. She posted the photo on the left with the following caption, "Thank you for the amazing #fanart and all the love. Got the greatest and most loyal fans out there! #blessed #grateful #captainmarvel #marvel" Seems like she is not against the role!
Marvel 75 Show
Marvel took a break from the regular Agents of SHIELD schedule to give us a look back at the last 75 years of Marvel, as well as a look into the future. The program covered Marvel's rise to becoming a media giant. If you did not get a chance to watch it, you can watch it online. It's hard to imagine that Marvel would not include the special with the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy release date. Marvel showed some behind the scene looks at Ant-Man and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Agent Carter Footage
The look into the future Marvel promised was a few minutes of footage from Agent Carter. You can watch the clip in its entirety below.
Agent Carter Release Date
Along with the footage, Marvel also gave us the official start date for Agent Carter. We will see Hayley Atwell return as Peggy Carter on January 6th, 2015! With Agent Carter taking the place of Agents of SHIELD, you may be wondering when the second season will continue. Thankfully, Marvel also revealed that Agents of SHIELD will return from its winter break on March 3rd!
Two Added to Agent Carter Cast
Even with our first look at Agent Carter as well as the official release date, Marvel still had more announcements. They announced that Costa Ronin and Bridget Regan have been added to the cast. Bridget Regan will play one of Peggy's neighbors named Dottie. Costa Ronin has been cast in a role that is not new to the Marvel universe. Ronin will play Anton Vanko, the father of Ivan Vanko (Whiplash) and the man who helped Howard Stark develop the arc reactor technology. It will be interesting to see how that relationship plays out in the show.
Yellowjacket Suit
The last bit of news this week is another possible leak. A twitter account got a hold of what could be our first look at the Yellowjacket suit that Corey Stoll will wear in Ant-Man. The suit has not been confirmed by Marvel and is certainly not a classical take on the Yellowjacket suit, but does share it's similarities to the Ant-Man suit.
