Marvel floating Captain America spinoff

When the “Iron Man 3” Blue-ray is released September 24, fans will get a chance to see “Agent Carter,” a one-shot drama that will likely be developed into a television series.

Starring Hayley Atwell, who first played the character in “Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Agent Carter” picks up the story a year after the events of the 2011 film, with hero Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, frozen in ice and his girlfriend, Carter, working as a secret agent.

The news comes just days before ABC premieres “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D,” its first scripted TV series. With Marvel Entertainment housed at Disney, the potential series would likely wind up on ABC.

“Captain America; The Winter Soldier,” starring Evans and Emily VanCamp of “Revenge,” is scheduled for release next year.
