Was Carter going to jump on the grenade?
In The First Avenger, during the dummy grenade scene, was Agent Carter attempting to jump on the grenade? She runs towards Steve/the grenade? Is there any confirmation that she intended to do the same?
Best Answer
The script (pg 25) indicates that she did intend to dive on the grenade:
COLONEL PHILLIPS (CONT’D) GRENADE!
It tumbles in the grass, stopping in front of the recruits. Steve’s eyes go wide.
The rest of the recruits scramble away. HODGE YELPS. HE THROWS HIMSELF UNDERNEATH A NEARBY JEEP.
PEGGY MAKES FOR THE GRENADE, BUT STEVE GETS THERE FIRST, THROWING HIMSELF ON IT.
Steve was closer and got there first. As for her standing around by Steve while he lays on the grenade, I'm guessing she's just a little smarter and quickly figured out what Colonel Phillips was doing. Especially since in the script (but not the film), the Colonel is standing next to a labelled crate of dummy grenades:
PAN TO THE CRATE, WHICH WE SEE IS CLEARLY LABELED: “M-56 TRAINING GRENADES - INERT.”

As you'll recall, Colonel Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones) tossed a dud grenade into a group of soldiers, and Steve selflessly jumped on it to protect everyone. Right then and there, the Marvel Cinematic Universe set up the fact that he's willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of those around him.Why did Peggy run to the grenade?
In Captain America, the colonel throws a grenade at the recruits who didn't know it's a dud. Steve throws himself on it, intending to sacrifice himself to save the others. However, Peggy, who also didn't know it was a dud, also runs towards it, indicating that she was willing to make the sacrifice.Who jumped on a grenade in Marvel?
Captain America is known for heroically jumping on a grenade in the MCU, but he's even more famous for performing the same action in the comics.Grenade Scene - Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Movie Clip HD
