EXCLUSIVE: With Chris Evans likely reprising his Steve Rogers role in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday, it looks like his former partner in crime will be joining him in the new Marvel movie. Sources tell Deadline that Hayley Atwell is expected to reprise her Agent Carter role in the film, which Anthony and Joe Russo are returning to direct and Marvel president Kevin Feige on board to produce.

Marvel did not respond for comment. Plot details are unknown at this time. The film will bow in theaters on May 1, 2026.

More from Deadline

Deadline was first to report in 2021 that Marvel and Evans were discussing a return in some form to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the belief was Atwell was also part of that plan to potentially return for a stand-alone movie. A story for that film could not get nailed down, but in recent months both sides saw the new Avengers film as the perfect opportunity to bring back both characters.

Atwell can be seen next reprising her role of Grace in the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning, which bows in May. She is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360, Hamilton Hodell, Ziffren Brittenham and JSSK.
