Agent Carter Plot Spoilers, News: Hayley Atwell Calls Show a 'Film-Noir Feast'

One of the most anticipated small screen offerings from Marvel, "Marvel's Agent Carter" is now ready to kick off its seven-episode action-adventure series but fans are still hankering for more information on what to expect when the show goes on air next week. Here's what we heard so far.

Leading lady Hayley Atwell (Agent Peggy Carter) claims that the series will surely be a feast for the eyes.

"This series is such a film-noir feast for the eyes that I come to work an hour early just to watch," Atwell told TVGuide in an interview. "Despite all the chaos of the war years, people had great style — the guys so elegant and gentlemanlike, the women so beautiful and well turned out with their cinched waists, pencil skirts, pin curls, and red lips. To act in this time period is absolute heaven."

But Peggy still have to work her way into this world as she will find herself in an era where women are just about "making coffee" and "taking lunch orders."

"Peggy is making coffee for the men and taking their lunch orders," the actress went on to tease. "She's feeling incredibly wasted, disrespected, and frustrated."

Series co-creator and showrunner Christopher Markus also revealed some important details on the upcoming show.

"That has Peggy leading a triple life," the executive producer said. "Her friends and neighbors think she works for the telephone company, and the SSR has no idea she's working undercover for Stark to clear his name."

Stark, as what the showrunner explained, is "a known rapscallion."

"He's not a traitor to his country, but that doesn't mean he won't end up on the wrong side of the law. He has his secrets," Markus said.

And those secrets will be unraveled when "Marvel's Agent Carter" hits the television this Tuesday, Jan. 6, at 8/7c on ABC.
