'Agents of SHIELD' Almost Had 'Cap' Star Emily VanCamp Cameo

It’s been several seasons since Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. made effort to feature any cinematic characters, but one missed opportunity could have set up some intriguing Captain America ties. Emily VanCamp was at one point supposed to appear on S.H.I.E.L.D. as Agent 13/Sharon Carter, but missed out over scheduling conflicts.

Co-workers describe him as “the guy in the office that says ‘This is what we did’ when giving a presentation to the boss, even though he did all the work.” Chris also has a bit of a secret: He played Steve Rogers in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

'Agent Carter' Season 2: No 'Winter Soldier' or Arnim Zola

The 1940s timeline of Marvel’s Agent Carter makes Peggy’s adventures seemingly difficult to connect to the present-day MCU, though the first season finale certainly suggested that Arnim Zola might take a larger role in Season 2, potentially exploring The Winter Soldier’s origins. Not so, according to showrunners, who tease that new recognizable Marvel baddies lie in store for Agent Carter Season 2.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe By the Numbers

With the arrival of Avengers: Age of Ultron this week, we are officially 11 movies deep in the wildly ambitious and massively popular Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not including TV shows like Daredevil, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter, that’s approximately 23 hours of superhero content, or 1,384 minutes to be exact. When you have that much content and so many recurring characters, patterns start to emerge. You begin to see the habits and tropes that define any franchise played out on an unprecedented scale. It encourages some genuine nerdery. Just how many times does Captain America throw his shield? How many times does Thor boast? How many alcoholic beverages does Tony Stark consume?
