Is Peggy Carter in the series premiere of "Loki"?
That's what fans are wondering after the Marvel show's series premiere appears to tease a woman who looks like a spitting image of the character.
Some fans are convinced she's a ringer for Carter, who's played by Hayley Atwell, since the two share similar hairstyles and outfits. Many are wondering if Peggy broke the "sacred timeline" the TVA reps are supposed to protect.

A representative for Disney could not immediately be reached for comment to confirm or deny the character's appearance on the episode.
Atwell is not listed in the credits for the pilot.
By the rules we're given in the "Loki" pilot, it's difficult to believe that there's a soul in the MCU that hasn't shown up at the TVA at some point. If you're not up to speed, basically, if you deviate from whatever grand timeline structure that's in place by three beings called Time Keepers, the TVA seeks you out and "resets" or deletes you from existence in order to put time back on its natural course.
With that in mind, it's not really tough to imagine that Carter has been reset once or twice.
When Peggy first thought Steve Rogers died in "Captain America: The First Avenger," there are probably a number of possible reactions she had, refusing to believe that the love of her life died. Some of those may have included searching for Cap or putting herself at risk.
As some have already pointed out, it seems strange that Loki has been rounded up by the TVA, but the Avengers and Captain America have been given a pass despite going back in time and altering the MCU timeline.
