Steve Rogers may not be around in Marvel’s Agent Carter, but Captain America’s iconic spirit certainly will be.

In the upcoming Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off, the presumed-dead Sentinel of Liberty’s memory is kept alive and well through “The Captain America Adventure Hour,” a fictional radio program that dramatizes Captain America’s overseas efforts against Hitler and the Nazi forces. In a callback to the era’s classic radio programs, the show is filled with cartoonish sound effects, campy dialogue, and a breathy damsel named Betty Carver, who is a fictionalized take on Peggy Carter.
Of course, that last distinction won’t sit well with the real Peggy Carter, who will be haunted by snippets of the radio show during her SSR and S.H.I.E.L.D. missions.
“It’s the bane of Peggy’s existence because you have the Peggy character on the show, Betty Carver, and she’s played by this actress who does a soft Marilyn Monroe voice and she’s always in jeopardy,” Agent Carter‘s executive producer Michele Fazekas told Entertainment Weekly.
Viewers will also catch segments of the radio show throughout the eight-part miniseries, and may even recognize the narrator’s voice as Ralph Garman’s. Garman, who has appeared in Ted and A Million Ways To Die In The West, is also the host of the Los Angeles morning show “Kevin and Bean.”
