Agent Carter
The entire Marvel One-Shot concept is one that works really well, but it also requires a bit of money and effort to get done that’s hard to drum up unless you’re going for a big money making full length feature. They don’t cost that much, but smaller projects are harder and harder to fund these days. But Marvel Studios may attempt to buck the trend as Co-President Louis D’Esposito is talking about the Agent Carter short on Iron Man 3‘s Blu-ray release and that it’s all coming together real well and may be a sign of more to come.
“[Hayley Atwell] had seen [previous Marvel One-Shot short film] ‘Item 47′ and liked it very much,” said D’Esposito. “She had read the script that we had developed, and she really loves the character, so she was on board. She also liked the fact that she got to show off some of her skill sets, that weren’t shown in the previous film. And we got to see her fight. I think everybody has a little bit of an action hero in them and wants to show it off. So, with that combination, she said yes.”
“What we’ve discussed is that there are going to be more Peggy Carter stories that we need to tell,” revealed D’Esposito. “She is wildly popular. Hayley loves it, and we love it. What we’ll do and how we’ll do it has not been determined yet, but those discussions have started. It’s in our consciousness that we need to tell another Peggy Carter story, somehow. Yet to be figured out yet, though.”
“We have a file of them,” D’Esposito said, referring to their unused short film ideas. “I don’t know how many of them are in there right now, but some of our favorites are in there. As we get closer to the day, in talking with our actors, maybe something sparks. And now that they’re becoming more popular, more people want to do them, so you never know.”
