It was welcome news when Marvel announced that they had added the very talented Lyndsy Fonseca (Nikita) to the cast of their upcoming mini-series Agent Carter. She is set to play Angie Martinelli, an aspiring actress and friend to Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter. This won't be Fonseca's first foray into the comic-book genre as she had a prominent role as Katie Deauxma in the first Kick-Ass film as well as a cameo in the sequel, she also most recently starred in the critically acclaimed Nikita where she played the ass-kicking Alexandra Udinov.
Earlier today, Fonseca posted a photo of herself from the Agent Carter set and while it doesn't really count as an "official" look, it does give us a look at Fonseca in her '40s era hair and makeup giving us a better idea at what to expect when we see her on screen in January. You can check out the photo below and remember to sound off with your thoughts in the usual spot!
It's 1946 and peace has dealt Peggy a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy finds herself stuck doing administrative work when she would rather be back out in the field; putting her vast skills into play and taking down the bad guys. But she is also trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life, Steve Rogers – aka Captain America.
When old acquaintance Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper, Marvel's "Captain America: The First Avenger”) finds himself being framed for unleashing his deadliest weapons to anyone willing to pony up the cash, he contacts Peggy - the only person he can trust - to track down those responsible, dispose of the weapons and clear his name. He empowers his butler, Edwin Jarvis (James D'Arcy, “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World”), to be at her beck and call when needed to help assist her as she investigates and tracks down those responsible for selling these weapons of mass destruction. But Jarvis, who is a creature of habit and sticks to a rigid daily routine, is going to have to make some major life changes if he’s going to be able to keep up with Peggy.
If caught going on these secret missions for Stark, Peggy could be targeted as a traitor and spend the rest of her days in prison – or worse. And as she delves deeper into her investigation, she may find that those she works for are not who they seem, and she might even begin to question whether Stark is as innocent as he claims.
