Wenn AGENTS OF SHIELD im Janu­ar in sei­ne Pau­se geht, unter­hält Mar­vel die Fans des Uni­ver­sums wei­ter, denn dann star­tet die Serie um AGENT CARTER. Man darf davon aus­ge­hen, dass in Kür­ze ein »ech­ter« Vor­gu­cker fol­gen wird.

Wei­ter unten noch der offi­zi­el­le Pres­se­text zur Serie.

ABC pres­ents its second action packed series from the crea­ti­ve minds at Mar­vel in “Marvel’s Agent Car­ter,” inspi­red by the fea­ture films Marvel’s »Cap­tain Ame­ri­ca: The First Aven­ger« and Marvel’s »Cap­tain Ame­ri­ca: The Win­ter Sol­dier,« along with the short »Mar­vel One-Shot: Agent Car­ter.«

Years befo­re Agent Coul­son and his S.H.I.E.L.D. team swo­re to pro­tect tho­se who can­not pro­tect them­sel­ves from thre­ats they can­not con­cei­ve, the­re was Agent Peg­gy Car­ter (Hay­ley Atwell, Marvel’s »Cap­tain Ame­ri­ca: The First Aven­ger,« Marvel’s »Cap­tain Ame­ri­ca: The Win­ter Sol­dier«), who pled­ged the same oath but lived in a dif­fe­rent time when women weren’t reco­gni­zed as being as smart or as tough as their male coun­ter­parts.

But no one should ever unde­re­sti­ma­te Peg­gy.

It’s 1946 and peace has dealt Peg­gy a serious blow as she finds hers­elf mar­gi­na­li­zed when the men return home from fight­ing abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Stra­te­gic Sci­en­ti­fic Reser­ve), Peg­gy finds hers­elf stuck doing admi­nis­tra­ti­ve work when she would rather be back out in the field; put­ting her vast skills into play and taking down the bad guys.  But she is also try­ing to navi­ga­te life as a sin­gle woman in Ame­ri­ca, in the wake of losing the love of her life, Ste­ve Rogers – aka Cap­tain Ame­ri­ca.

When old acquain­tance Howard Stark (Domi­nic Coo­per, Marvel’s »Cap­tain Ame­ri­ca: The First Aven­ger”) finds hims­elf being framed for unleas­hing his dead­liest wea­pons to anyo­ne wil­ling to pony up the cash, he cont­acts Peg­gy – the only per­son he can trust – to track down tho­se respon­si­ble, dis­po­se of the wea­pons and clear his name.  He empowers his but­ler, Edwin Jar­vis (James D’Ar­cy, “Mas­ter and Com­man­der: The Far Side of the World”), to be at her beck and call when nee­ded to help assist her as she inves­ti­ga­tes and tracks down tho­se respon­si­ble for releasing the­se wea­pons of mass des­truc­tion.  But Jar­vis, who is a crea­tu­re of habit and sticks to a rigid dai­ly rou­ti­ne, is going to have to make some major life chan­ges if he’s going to be able to keep up with Peg­gy.

If caught going on the­se secret mis­si­ons for Stark, Peg­gy could be tar­ge­ted as a trai­tor and spend the rest of her days in pri­son – or worse. And as she del­ves deeper into her inves­ti­ga­ti­on, she may find that tho­se she works for are not who they seem, and she might even begin to ques­ti­on whe­ther Stark is as inno­cent as he claims.
