When the Avengers was realeased on DVD and Blu Ray, there was a preview for Item 47, which followed two people who found one of the Chi’Tauri weapons and ultimately led into Marvel’s upcoming Agents of SHIELD series.
Next week, when Iron Man 3 is released, there will be a feature which focuses on Agent Peggy Carter, who is Captain America’s love interest in the first film.
And, wonders of wonders, Marvel has announced that they’re eying a series based on- you guessed it- Agent Peggy Carter.
“Agent Carter is a one-shot set to be released Sept. 24 as an extra on the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray. Agent Carter takes place a year after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger and follows Steve Rogers’ (Chris Evans) girlfriend Agent Carter (portrayed by Hayley Atwell) as she builds her career as a secret agent while the hero is frozen in ice. (Worth noting: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was based on Item 47, an original short included on The Avengers DVD.) It’s unclear if Atwell would reprise her role should the project officially move forward. (ABC and Marvel declined comment.)
No network is currently attached, though Marvel Entertainment is housed at ABC parent company Disney, making the network home to S.H.I.E.L.D. a likely candidate.
For Marvel, the potential project comes as the company is readying its Captain America follow-up, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, with Evans reprising his role. Revenge star Emily VanCamp will play Agent 13 — Carter’s niece — in the sequel.”
