Marvel’s animated series,What If…?gave Peggy Carter a new voice in its debut episode. For some Marvel fans, one episode of Captain Carter just wasn’t enough. One Captain Carter advocate designed a fan-made poster that reimagined a film that many consider one of the MCU’s better films. In the world ofCaptain Carter,Captain America: The Winter Soldierhas been reimagined asCaptain Carter: The Serpent Society.
The poster, made by Reddit user “drksdr,” uploaded the infamous Captain America poster with a few key alterations. In the center is Peggy Carter in the Captain Carter uniform that was gifted to her by Howard Stark inWhat If…?In the distance, instead of the menacing face of the Winter Soldier, is the Hydra Stomper suitSteve Rogers wore in the first episodeofWhat If…?Notably, the poster still features Alexander Pierce, Black Widow, and Nick Fury, who all played a key role in the originalCaptain America: The Winter Soldierfilm.

With episode one ofWhat If…?ending with Peggy Carter and Nick Fury meeting for the first time much like Steve and Fury did inThe First Avenger, a Captain Carter sequel isn’t impossible. Captain Carter stopped many Hydra ploys and successfully obtained the tesseract, a weapon Hydra desperately sought out. With the emphasis on Hydra inThe Winter Soldier, especially through the inclusion of Alexander Pierce, he and Captain Carter would certainly run into a number of issues.
The reimagined poster does pose a very important question: who is the Hydra Stomper? InWhat If…?Steve Rogers wore the suit and helped Captain Carter and the Howling Commandos. As any avid Marvel consumer knows, the surprise inThe Winter Soldierwas thatSteve’s best friend Bucky Barnessurvived the fall from a moving train nearly 70 years ago. Not only had Bucky survived, but he had been experimented on by Hydra and used to carry out a number of heinous crimes. Aware of the relationship between the two, Pierce struggled to use it to his advantage. If Steve is somehow still the Hydra Stomper in this fan poster, it’s certainly possible that Peggy seeing Steve again would evoke the same reaction as Steve and Bucky fromThe Winter Soldier.
Captain Carter: The Serpent Societywould have a number of gaps that would require further elaboration. Prior to his sequel, Captain America had one stand-alone film and appearances in other Marvel movies includingThe Avengersto move his story along. All Captain Carter has had up until this point is theroughly 30 minuteWhat If…?episode. While it has its technicalities, a Captain Carter sequel is a pretty cool thing to imagine.
