First Pics And Poster For New Marvel One Shot ‘Agent Carter’

Set to debut at next week’s Comic Con in San Diego is the brand new Marvel One-Shot short film ‘Agent Carter,’ which is set to feature the lovely, lovely Hayley Atwell. The short is said to pick up from where CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER left off, a film I must catch up on before I board that plane next Tuesday.

Here’s the synopsis for the thing:

Hayley Atwell (TV’s The Pillars of the Earth) reprises her role as an analyst with the nascent S.H.I.E.L.D. organization, the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve.) They do things like, you know, build super-soldiers, fight evil, and go in search of the enigmatic “Zodiac.”

Marvel Studios co-president Louis D’Esposito spills some more.

“It’s a year since Cap plunged into the ocean, and in our mind, we said there’s a few SSR offices. If you want to relate it to now, it’s like the OSS, the precursor to the CIA. The SSR is the precursor to S.H.I.E.L.D. There’s some satellite offices in New York and right now their primary concern is getting Zodiac.”

“Zodiac in the books has been many many different things. We just want you to know it’s deadly, it’s important, bad guys are guarding it, and it’s imperative she gets it.”

For those not at the San Diego event that kicks off next Wednesday, you can pick up a look at the short on the September released IRON MAN 3 DVD and Blu-Ray.
