Hayley Atwell is still not over what Marvel did to Captain Carter, and four years after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hit screens, she has decided the moment deserves one more airing. The actress has never been shy about voicing her opinions, and a packed room recently witnessed her honesty firsthand. What began as a routine convention appearance turned into something audiences are still discussing. That reaction alone makes the moment worth a closer look.

While the panel opened casually, one blunt confession about a fallen Marvel hero shifted the entire mood in seconds.

Hayley Atwell explained why Captain Carter's exit at the For the Love of Fantasy and Sci-Fi convention in London still bothers her, years after the scene first aired. The character was introduced with promise, only to meet an abrupt, throwaway finish. A clip on Instagram shared by the account named @francesinlondon captured her revisiting it.

"It's so small and she gets frisbee'd to death," Atwell said.

She added, "I felt that was like a bum steer and a complete disservice to the character," underlining how little justice the scene did her arc.

According to the same clip by @francesinlondon, Atwell revealed that her frustration began well before release, since she raised the issue on set at the time. She explained that she tried proposing changes, only to be waved off despite asking directly. Her willingness to revisit the moment, years later and without prompting, said plenty about how much it still lingers.

While Atwell still winces at her character's ending, her take on Marvel's boldest new casting choice tells a different story.

Hayley Atwell has shown far more enthusiasm discussing Robert Downey Jr's transformation into Doctor Doom for Avengers: Doomsday. Speaking about the casting choice, she praised Downey for his generosity toward the entire team and his natural ability to lead a set. She acknowledged that swapping one of the franchise's most beloved heroes for one of its most formidable villains counted as a genuinely bold move. Still, she remained confident that Downey possessed the range needed to make the transformation land.

Atwell also touched on Peggy Carter's return, describing the character's bond with Steve Rogers as an enduring love story central to their arc. She hinted that Peggy has changed considerably since audiences last saw her, though she kept most specifics under wraps. Between championing Downey's risk and quietly reintroducing her own character, Atwell appears far more invested in what lies ahead. Even so, the sting from that rushed Doctor Strange sequence has clearly not faded.
