Meet Edwin Jarvis
James D’Arcy portrays Edwin Jarvis in Agent Carter. Disney’s D23 reference identifies him as Howard Stark’s butler and describes how helping Peggy disrupts his accustomed routine. His scenes bring a domestic perspective to an espionage story, with the practical arrangements of a mission becoming part of the adventure.

Notice what Jarvis prepares, what he expects to happen and how he reacts when the plan changes. The distance between a tidy arrangement and the situation Peggy encounters gives their partnership its rhythm.
