"Marvel's Agent Carter" one-off has gotten a go signal as ABC picked up the series. The 12-episode story arc will serve as bridge show for "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" but will there be time-travel to connect the two timelines?
A key art for "Marvel's Agent Carter" was released showing the main character, Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) in silhouette with the S.H.I.E.L.D logo in the background, UK's Metro reported.
The official synopsis for the TV show reveals:
"Marvel's Agent Carter" follows the story of Agent Peggy Carter in 1946, in the aftermath of her love Steve Rogers "death." When the war ended, "she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad."
After leaving the anti-HYDRA organization, Strategic Scientific Reserve, Agent Peggy Carter helps Howard Stark (father of "Iron Man's" Tony Stark) build the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, the organization which the characters of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." work for.
However, Agent Peggy Carter will also deal with personal issues like discrimination and living in America as a single woman.
No cast is revealed yet for "Marvel's Agent Carter" but Christopher Markus and Steve McFeely will be the writers and showrunners. Michele Fazekas, Louis D'Esposito, Tara Butters, Kevin Feige and Jeph Loeb will also executive produce the series which will air in 2015.
Josh Wigler of MTV News said "Marvel's Agent Carter" poses quite a few interesting scenarios including time travel, "perhaps with Peggy Carter in her prime catapulting into the present day;" or Agent Coulson and FitzSimmons traveling to the 1940s during the origins of S.H.I.E.L.D. and possibly help Agent Peggy Carter battle HYDRA.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Marvel's Agent Carter" will serve as a bridge show that will air during the break of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." The website also said that both shows will ultimately be "tied-in together."
