We also don’t know who’ll be playing the new character, although we did get a confirmation that the casting has already concluded and an actress has been picked.

“It was something we had talked about in the middle of the first season, just because there are so many fun stories we thought we could tell”. “Our villain from the season is very much a Marvel villain that we co-opted a little bit like we did Dr. Fennhoff in the first season”. In the comic books, a lot of the Marvel period, there are issue rights. According to an interview between /Film and Agent Carter’s executive producers Tara Butters and Chris Dingess, Madame Masque will be there to rain on Peggy’s Hollywoodland debut.
Though Masque didn’t make her bow in the comics until ’69, Butter and Dingess confirmed that the antagonist will be reworked to mesh with the rest of the story, telling fans to expect a devious movie actress who harbors the darkest alter-ego in all of Tinsel Town. Peggy was able to stop Fennhoffs plan to attack Times Square in the Season 1 finale, but shes not done facing off against adversaries from Marvels large library of characters. Madame Masque is a major get for the series, and is the type of character you could have legitimately imagined popping up on the big screen at some point.
Agent Carter season 2 will air in January 2015.
Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy must now journey from New York City to Los Angeles for her most risky assignment yet.
Last but not least, Butters touched on just how much the TV landscape has changed in just one season. “We’re certainly taking inspiration from the comic-book universe, so anybody who knows that will be rewarded”. “So my hope is that we will see her in this season”, Butters said in Outer Places.

Entertainment Weekly also reports that Chad Michael Murray (Agent Jack Thompson), Bridget Regan (Dottie Underwood) and Lyndsy Fonseca (Angie Martinelli) are expected back, but they’re still waiting on deals to be signed. The news comes straight from the star of the show, Hayley Atwell, during a moment at Comicpalooza in Houston Texas when she was discussing this year’s new location of Los Angeles.
