She now believes “the whole superhero thing is a joke.”
But that may not be all she believes.

“We could interpret that in so many different ways,” VanCamp says.
“There’s still three episodes left so hopefully those questions will be answered.
There’s still lots of characters to come in and out.
The problem could be many things.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This feels like a very different version of Sharon Carter.
To bring her back as the same person she was in the films wouldn’t make any sense.
We don’t answer all of them but some of them, for sure.
She’s still out there kicking butt and doing her thing.
It’s just her whole perspective and priorities have shifted because they’ve had to.
Did the changes to Sharon’s character affect your approach to her?Absolutely.
She’s all grown up and has a chip on her shoulder.
She takes all that quite seriously, everything that happened to her.
It really seems like the government did her dirty.They did her dirty.
I wouldn’t have said it, but since you did.
Yeah, the government left her behind.
She’s such a loyal agent.
I think she’s left a lot of that behind.
You see her in that ship yard!
There’s no holding back.
Unfortunately, the sad thing in Sharon’s story is that idealistic young girl in many ways is gone.
At the end of episode 3, Sharon gets in a car.
She’s telling her bodyguard, “We’ve got a bigger problem.”
We could interpret that in so many different ways.
There’s still three episodes left so hopefully those questions will be answered.
There’s still lots of characters to come in and out.
The problem could be many things.
What does Sharon’s fight style look like in this world of Madripoor?
Because we had to be sure to remind everyone that she has this technical background.
She was a trained agent.
In the comic books, that’s her specialty.
We struggled a little bit for a while with what weapons she’s using.
That shipyard scene was very unique.
Does she come armed?
We ultimately landed on she’s using whatever she can find.
That made it a little bit more brutal and gritty and interesting looking.
It definitely made for some interesting fight sequences to learn.
The training was very rigorous.
Well, I think you succeeded.Definitely did not come out totally unscathed.
So, it was worth it.
That makes me happy to hear.
There were a lot of cuts and bruises and scrapes, but that’s part of the fun.
What do you remember from that day on set?That day was insane.
But, oddly, they got a lot of great shots from my recollection of the boys dancing individually.
Whoever has that footage should hold onto it closely.
I remember there was a lot of dancing here.
It was so funny and the boys are so hilarious.
And Daniel’s the best.
I just love him.
