Chad Michael Murray has shared some thoughts about the legacy of Marvel’s Agent Carter.
Marvel’s Agent Carter is an ABC series set within the MCU that follows the events of 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger and a 2013 one-shot short film titled Agent Carter. The series, which premiered in 2015 and ran for two seasons, saw Hayley Atwell reprise her role as Peggy Carter, while Murray played a character named Jack Thompson.
What did Chad Michael Murray say about Marvel’s Agent Carter?
Speaking with ComingSoon, Murray was asked what it’s like looking back on the show’s two seasons now that the MCU has continued to grow and grow over the years.
“It’s great,” he answered. “I learned a lot. Just the opportunity to work with those core people. Louis [D’Esposito] would come to set and you got this whole Marvel universe right around you. I remember they were cutting — was it The Avengers? They were cutting one of the major franchises. The Russo Brothers were coming in and they were directing an episode. Then they’re out and they’re directing The Avengers. You’re just seeing how the whole universe was working and how hard everyone was working. You’re doing this really cool period piece and you want to be as authentic [as you can], but, yet, kind of bigger and grander than you can be because you’re doing something that’s [a superhero project].
“I love Jack Thompson. I think there’s a universe where Jack Thompson had a much bigger world, you know what I mean? There’s something really cool about Jack Thompson. We never really peeled the layers, we never really pulled back and saw what was beneath the surface. I always like to say Jack would’ve been back.”
Murray went on to reference Jack’s Agent Carter Season 2 cliffhanger ending. He continued, “If you’re watching, something happens to Jack. Jack would’ve been back. I can picture it now, and we would’ve learned a lot more about Jack. But there was something so likably unlikable about him, you know what I mean?”
Marvel’s Agent Carter is currently streaming on Disney+.
