Hayley Atwell has had quite a journey in the MCU. Starting off in Captain America: The First Avenger, she portrayed Peggy Carter, an agent of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, which she carried on in the series Agent Carter. After that, he portrayed an older version of Peggy Carter in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, after which Peggy died in Captain America: Civil War.
You might think that this was the end of the line for her, but it wasn’t. She returned to voice an alternate version of Peggy Carter who received the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers in the Disney+ series What…If?. She returned as an alternate version of Peggy Carter once again in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, which left fans speculating if both alternate versions of Peggy Carter were from the same timeline.
In an interview with IGN, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness writer Michael Waldron talked about the movie and its connections to What…If?.
“I don’t know. I’m reticent to canonize that either way. I hope not. I hope that’s not the one. That’d be too bad.”
MICHAEL WALDRON
“Well, I was definitely aware of What If…?. I think when I came on [the movie], the Doctor Strange episode of What If…? was still in the animatic phase. But I watched that and knew what they were doing, which was more helpful to me that [executive producer] Ashley Bradley had focused on Strange and Christine’s relationship [in the episode], because I knew I wanted to focus on that as the heart of his emotional story in our movie.”
MICHAEL WALDRON
“So, it didn’t necessarily affect the multiverse… But it does represent one more cautionary tale of a time that is Stephen Strange, somewhere in the multiverse, has gone bad and ruined a universe. And I think that’s part of what our Strange is wrestling with by the end of our movie, is this notion of weight, ‘Is every version of me fated to go bad and therefore, does that mean I’m going to go bad?’”
