What If Series in Development

/Film is reporting that Marvel Studios is developing a What If animated series for Disney+. What If is their comic series featuring alternative storylines that would have happened if events in the main timeline had gone differently (e.g. "What If Spider-Man Joined the Fantastic Four?" "What If the X-Men Died on Their First Mission?"). By the inherent nature of the premise, the show will not be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but rather adjacent to it, potentially even featuring the same actors.

Madame Masque to Appear in Agent Carter

Slashfilm did an interview with Agent Carter producers Tara Butters and Chris Dingess, in which they revealed that Madame Masque will be the main villain in the next season of the show.

So you’ve adapted her back in time.
Tara: We’ve co-opted her.
Chris: We put our spin on her.

What was modern about Madame Masque that just wouldn’t work in the ‘40s?
Tara: I think we’ve changed the look of her a bit obviously. We’ve made her an actress, which is very Hedy Lamar. She was a ‘40s siren actress who was also a scientific genius, so that’s part of what we’re mining with this character.

Have you cast her?
Tara: Yes, we have but we’re not allowed to announce it yet.
