In an interview with Hey U Guys, Agent Carter star Hayley Atwell addressed what is a apparently a fan theory that Peggy is actually Tony Stark's real mother.

Atwell responded by saying it doesn't seem very true to Peggy's character.

"It would undermine the relationship she has with Captain America," she says. "And I also think she doesn't trust Howard, in that respect, so she would be kind of lowering her standards, I think, if she ended up with Howard. But maybe it could blossom into a perfect romance."

She went on to say that there are plenty of other opportunities for romance in Peggy's life, from Agent Souza, to – as some fans speculate – her friend Angie, to referencing Peggy's interacial kiss from the comics, all in addition the introduction of a new romantic interest in Season 2.

Atwell also mentioned her cameo Ant-Man, of which she said it is, indeed, a cameo.

Agent Carter will return for Season 2 on ABC in 2016.
