In an exclusive report by SlashFilm, the main villain of AGENT CARTER Season 2 has been revealed to be Whitney Frost / Madame Masque by the series' showrunners Tara Butters and Chris Dingess.
"I think we’ve changed the look of [Madame Masque] a bit obviously," Butters confirmed. "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."
Butters went on to also confirm an actor has been cast in the villain role, but they are not allowed to announce it yet.
If you're not familiar with Madame Masque in the comics, she is pretty much an assassin who is skilled as a markswoman and is a master strategist. Oh... she wears a mask too, hence the name. Whitney Frost first appeared opposite of Iron Man in Tales of Suspense No. 98 (1968) and then she first appeared as Madame Masque in Iron Man No. 17 (1969).
AGENT CARTER Season 2 will be 10 episodes and air on ABC in early 2016.
