After arriving in 1602, an Elizibethan era universe, Captain Carter agrees to help Wanda Merlin and Sir Nicholas Fury stop an impending incursion. As a tear in space opens over the Globe theatre, she saves Prince Hamlet aka Prince Loki from being pulled into the tear, but fails to save Queen Hela. The loss of the queen enrages her successor the new King Thor Odinson who orders Sir Harold “The Happy” Hogan to hunt the outlaw Carter.

Carter learns from The Watcher that the incursion is occurring due to the presence of the Forerunner, another time-displaced individual, and locates Tony Stark, who can make a device to identify the Forerunner using the Time Stone in Thor’s sceptre. He points her towards outlaws Steve Hood and his band of merrymen, Bucky Barnes, and Scott Lang to help steal it. 

Carter finds the group, but they are ambushed by Hogan. Carter gives herself up before freeing herself and enraging an Iron Masked Bruce Banner. They meet with Stark and join Rogers’ group in infiltrating Thor’s court. With Wanda’s help, the group retrieves the Time Stone for Stark’s device.

Managing to activate the device it identifies Rogers as the Forerunner, who had inadvertently created the temporal anomaly while battling Thanos. Carter bids farewell to Rogers and returns him to his universe, preventing the incursion.

Left and isolated in 1602 Peggy Carter is joined in a local pub by an unexpected friend and ally, Dr Stephen Strange Supreme.
