Hayley Atwell on Grace and Peggy Carter

Atwell divulged to ScreenRant how she thinks her Mission: Impossible 7’s character Grace, can be Peggy Carter’s “naughty” younger sister. Grace is essentially a thief in Dead Reckoning, who ends up partnering with Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, after multiple rounds of betrayal.

Atwell even believes that Peggy Carter can even be a good mentor to Grace, not to mention both the characters’ propensity towards getting involved in fights and challenges.
