Marvel's Agent Carter is still a little ways off but some new casting news has been announced. James D'Arcy will be playing a character familiar to those that read the comics or have just watched the movies. It looks like we'll be seeing Edwin Jarvis on the show.

According to Variety via The Wrap, D'Arcy has been cast as Howard Stark's butler. This isn't too far off from the comics.

Agent Carter features Hayley Atwell reprising her role as Peggy Carter, picking up her life after the "death" of Captain America in The First Avenger. If you saw the Marvel One-Shot extra feature on the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray, you saw she was on her way to starting S.H.I.E.L.D. with Howard Stark.

We also know that Tony Stark calls his home computer system J.A.R.V.I.S. Perhaps eventually we'll discover what happened to Jarvis in the present of the Cinematic Universe. I supposed he'd be a little on the old side by now.

Agent Carter will have a mid-season premiere. What are your thoughts on Jarvis being included in the show?

Dayum. Jarvis is looking good. I hope they cast Clive Owen as Alfred in "Gotham". :p

Love this idea, I'm excited to see what Agent Carter (and its nice 8 episode format) can do.

cool, good casting.

The show's producers claimed they want, basically an eight-hour movie ... so I have high hopes for Agent Carter. It'll be money in the bank if Dominic Cooper is confirmed to play Howard Stark, so, we'll see. James D'Arcy could be exactly right as Jarvis, possibly even a 'prequel' to Paul Bettany's voice character in the Iron Man films: Tony Stark could have modeled his new Jarvis after what we'll see from D'Arcy, if that makes sense.

I think that's exactly what they'll do.

@the_stegman:

i agree, this jarvis is gonna be a real hunk!

Nice, this will become the greatest show ever!!!!!

As long as this show is nothing like Interns of SHIELD, I'll be happy.

Cool.

This is actually pretty awesome, can't wait to see who else will be appearing in the show.

@the_stegman: Sean Pertwee has been cast as Alfred.

@rev_sulphur: I know, I was making a jokey joke.

@the_stegman: Ahhhh, carry on.

That's so cool. And as a reminder, Peggy Carter is to appear in Age of Ultron. This helps explain why.

I always had a theory that Tony based J.A.R.V.I.S. on a butler he had as a kid.

Clive Owen all ready has his own show.
