Hayley Atwell said she feels fulfilled with the perfect ending of the love story of her MCU character
Peggy Carter
and
Steve Rogers
in the Marvel blockbuster
'Avengers: Endgame'
. Atwell first played a SHIELD agent Carter in
'Captain America: The First Avenger'
, opposite Chris Evans' Rogers aka Captain America.
Their love story was a tragic one as Captain America is presumed dead after he crashes his plane in the Arctic towards the end of the film. He awakens after 70 years to realize he has missed the chance to be with Peggy forever. In 'Endgame', their story is given closure as Rogers chooses to return to the past to have a life with Peggy after the Avengers defeat supervillain Thanos.
"I feel really fulfilled. It was a great time, and I think they ended it beautifully with 'Endgame'. It feels like a fitting end to that narrative. I'm a classically trained theatre actor so I want a stab at the challenging parts in the canon for theatrical actresses. That's something that I've always aspired towards. So, I feel lucky to have played her, but she's one aspect of my career. She's one part that I've played," Atwell told an American Hollywood digital magazine.
She further said director duo Anthony and Joe Russo gave a tasteful end to the love story. "I thought it was very endearing, innocent and wholesome in the way that it keeps those characters in their time. I thought it was quite beautiful and very tasteful of Marvel to finish this 10-year story in a very simple storyline about two human beings and one of them doesn't even have any superpowers. So, I thought the tone of it, to end there, after some extraordinary things of trauma, action, effects and powers to just have two people slow-dancing was very beautiful," Atwell said.
