Following the premiere of Marvel's Agent Carter last night, actor Hayley Atwell appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss her role as Peggy Carter.

In the interview, Atwell reiterated how Peggy enters the show in a state of mourning after Captain America's supposed death. As Steve Rogers' ghost lingers over her, Atwell said that Agent Carter struggles to find meaning in her boring job. Luckily, Howard Stark arrives to give her important (and clandestine) missions that fulfill her sense of purpose. Kimmel praised the show during the interview, saying that Agent Carter's look and style were "great."

Atwell also slipped in a humorous anecdote during the discussion, revealing that she recently went to the DMV for passport photo in her full Peggy Carter costume during a lunch break. Hopefully, she joked, she wouldn't be arrested for impersonation.

Check out the full discussion in the video below, where Atwell reveals another of her talent: Ventriloquism.

Agent Carter returns next Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. on ABC.
