Aboveboard? It's hard to tell. Given Marvel's attention to detail in almost all frame of its movies and shows, it would have been promiscuous to stave off victimization mortal who looked like Peggy Carter, especially knowing it would station fans inoperative a fruitless rabbit burrow.

It is most possible an supernumerary, however. For i thing, Hayley Atwell's appoint doesn't show up in the credits. Her presence, to a fault, would verisimilar distract from Loki's own upcoming journeys finished time and distance.

But the hypothesis does have deservingness. One user on Twitter posits that even though the Avengers' time travelling was allowed to happen in Avengers: Endgame, Steve Will Rogers and Peggy Carter's closing scene would have risked causing an alternate timeline. In the eyes of the TVA and the Fourth dimension-Keepers, that's a big no-no – hence Peggy Carter possibly beingness dragged in by the prison term cops.

Our advice? Strain not to overthink it. We've been burned-out before past Mephisto in WandaVision and Saint Paul Bettany… as Paul Bettany. Peggy Carter probably isn't in Loki. Probably. But file cabinet this one under 'Theories, Wild' – and expect plenty more to be added to the already moving folder in the forthcoming weeks.

Character in point: there are plenty many sources of fan-led speculation to befool from Loki, plane if you're not convinced by the James Earl Carter cameo. One and only pardonable moment in the premiere could already be setting up Marvel's next big villain. There's likewise the interesting idea on how an exposition-overweight shot might be playing as a roadmap to an incredible MCU crossing.
