Agent Carter, also known as Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter, is a 2013 Short Film and the fourth of Marvel One-Shots, set in Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's included on the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray, and was used as a proof-of-concept for Agent Carter, a weekly TV series that debuted on ABC in 2015. This short film takes place after the TV series' Season 2. Disney+ posted it online first as an extra for Iron Man 3, then later on its own page.A year after Steve Rogers' disappearance, Peggy Carter works a menial job at the New York office for the Strategic Scientific Reserve (S.S.R.). But after yet another day of being put down by her coworkers and sexist boss John Flynn, Peggy receives word of an urgent mission to close in on a mysterious target named "Zodiac". Putting herself back into the field, Peggy dusts off her old skills, beats up bad guys, and alerts the ear of her old friend Howard Stark, who invites her to help him run a new organization called S.H.I.E.L.D.Hayley Atwell reprises her role as Peggy. Supporting cast includes Bradley Whitford as Agent Flynn, Dominic Cooper reprising his role as Howard Stark, and Neal McDonough also returning as Dum-Dum Dugan in The Stinger. The short film is directed by Louis D'Esposito, with a screenplay by Eric Pearson. | |

| Agent Carter / int_10a262e4 | comment |
Headphones Equal Isolation: A pre-headphones variant, but still the same idea; the desk guard of the Zodiac hideout doesn't overhear Peggy beating the snot out of two other flunkies because he's got the radio turned up. | |

| Agent Carter / int_48081842 | comment |
The Stinger: Howard Stark and Dum-Dum Dugan are sitting next to each other as Dugan looks confusedly towards two women wearing bikinis, which Stark has to explain to him about as he's never heard of them before. Makes sense; bikinis had only just come out in 1946, and wouldn't become popular until their adoption by celebrities. A second one also occurs at the very end in text. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Agent Carter / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Because planning for the Agent Carter TV show wasn't beyond the concept stage yet, the one-shot little resembles it. The SSR office is smaller and headed by Flynn, not Dooley. None of Peggy's coworkers are there, nor supporting cast such as Jarvis. The mysterious Leviathan organization goes unmentioned; in its place is the equally mysterious Zodiac. It only thematically resembles the Agent Carter series, e.g. "Peggy Carter deals with sexism, beats up bad guys, and is awesome." | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| Agent Carter / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: The organization Peggy works for is hot on the tail of "Zodiac," an enigmatic person or persons (possibly both) that has eluded even their best groups of agents. As Peggy closes in on their operation, she seems to have cornered them - however, upon following information on Zodiac's location, she finds only a mysterious serum that is not elaborated on in the short itself. | |
