While Captain America crashed in Captain America: First Avenger – to reappear decades later – life went on for those whom he’d left behind. In particular, Peggy Carter carried on to help the forerunner of S.H.I.E.L.D. get established. When Iron Man 3 comes to home video (HD Digital and HD Digital 3D on September 3; 3D BD, BD, DVD, Digital Copy, On Demand: September 24, 2013), Agent Carter, once again played by Hayley Atwell, will be the subject of the accompanying Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter.
