Peggy Carter

Dr. Margaret "Peggy" Carter, Ph.D. is a recurring character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing as the deuteragonist of Captain America: The First Avenger and the titular main protagonist of Agent Carter. She is also a minor character in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man and Avengers: Endgame and a posthumous character in Captain America: Civil War.
She was a British agent during World War II against HYDRA, a founding member of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the first girlfriend of Steve Rogers. She developed Alzheimer's disease in her old age and peacefully passed away in her sleep. Steve eventually reunited with Peggy in an alternate timeline via time-travelling in the 1970s, deciding to take Tony Stark's words of laying down to heart after saving the world from Thanos.
She was portrayed by Hayley Atwell. Atwell reprised her voice for a different iteration of the character in the 2021 Disney+ tv series, What If...?
