Marvel Studios Agent Carter Short Film Details Revealed

Earlier this year, Comicbook.com reported that it looked like a Peggy Carter short film would be part of Marvel Studios Comic-Con panel, and it turns out we were right. Entertainment Weekly has released details and images for an Agent Carter short from Marvel Studios that will premiere at 2013 San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 19. Agent Carter will revolve around the post-Captain America heroics of British operative Peggy Carter, who is played by Hayley Atwell. Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito directed the short film. D'Esposito said, "First of all it's a period piece. You have three fight scenes as opposed to Item 47, where we just had basically one action scene. We had five days – one more day than we did on Item 47 but I think it's double in size. And also the visual style of it, that requires time. So there was pressure on us. I have people looking over my shoulder, looking at the watch saying, 'Come on, you're costing us a lot of money!'" If you're not able to make it to Comci-Con, the Agent Carter short film will also be included on the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray, which is set to be released on September 24, 2013.
