It’s disappointing that the longtime love interest of Captain America and elite agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

is marginalized throughout the MCU, despite a strong performance from actorEmily VanCamp.

since her debut inTales of Suspense #75.

Unfortunately, the character has been completely underused throughout her MCU tenure despite a stellar performance from VanCamp.

Unfortunately, something else got in the way of those plans.

Specifically, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell).

Atwell delivered an incredibly likable, charismatic performance as Peggy Carter, and she displayed great chemistry with Evans.

Then, things only got worse for Sharon.

This wasa complete and utter betrayal of Sharon as a character.

Although Sharon has gone rogue and been on the run before, she never becamean outright supervillain.

Surely, this could not have been Sharon Carter.

That would explain everything, right?

Several years have passed with radio silence on Sharon Carter.

This signifies a growing problem withother characters in the MCU as well.

That being said,according toShang-Chistar Liu, aShang-Chi2 is still in the works.

So just very excited to kind of work on it, and it’s going to be amazing.

I really can’t say anything beyond that."

However, Marvel failed to follow up on these characters.

You simply dont waste Jennifer or Tatiana.

Maslany said aboutaShe-Hulk Season 2at the time, “I don’t think so.

I think we blew our budget, and Disney was like, ‘No, thanks.'”

There’s since been no update onany plans or whereabouts for their characters in the MCU.

Casting Clarke ina role such as G’iahfeels pretty random in the first place.

Perhaps the nextupcoming Marvel Studios release,Thunderbolts*, will offermore insight into whats happening with Sharon Carter.
