The brains behind one of Marvel Studios’ best-reviewed projects rues being tossed onto the canonical trash pile

On the plus side, fans still regard it as such.

The firing of Ike Perlmutter Marvel‘s most-prominent archenemies means that the current chief creative officer of the company remains unlikely to go back on his word that anything to have unfolded on television prior to WandaVision‘s debut on Disney Plus is official canon.

Obviously, the multiverse has introduced workarounds that’s seen Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Jon Bernthal brought back into mainline continuity having previously starred on Netflix, but there hasn’t even been so much as an acknowledgement of Agent Carter being designated as Marvel Cinematic Universe canon.

Not that it stops fans from accepting it as such, though, and we can’t overlook that Hayley Atwell’s two-season run as the title hero also ranks as one of the best-reviewed projects to have emerged throughout the entire Marvel Studios era, with a 96 percent Rotten Tomatoes score putting it behind only Black Panther and Ms. Marvel on the aggregation site.

Despite Peggy being a fixture of the MCU for a decade and counting, Feige doesn’t deem Agent Carter as having unfolded within the grand calculus of the multiverse, something that stings former ABC president Paul Lee, as he itted to The Wrap.

“Look, structurally, don’t forget, it was at a time when Marvel movies and Marvel TV were separated. So I think one of the reasons it would do better today is that the platform is used to it. And it would have sat brilliantly amongst those. But it was a great early suggestion of where the Marvel brand could go and very useful to everybody.

I think also were it done today, there would be more synergies between the television and the movies, both creatively, and also in of storyline and otherwise,” he said. “But we were thrilled to do S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter, because they blazed a path that was very profitable for the Walt Disney Company over time.”

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and What If…? showed that Peggy is still a fan favorite with a future in the franchise, even if the only person who won’t anoint her small screen adventures as being canonical just so happens to be the man in charge.
