"The Iron Ceiling" is the fifth episode of the first season of the American television series Agent Carter, inspired by the films Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and the Marvel One-Shot short film also titled Agent Carter. It features the Marvel Comics character Peggy Carter as she goes on a mission to infiltrate a Leviathan military complex with the Howling Commandos, and is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. The episode was written by Jose Molina and directed by Peter Leto.
Hayley Atwell reprises her role as Carter from the film series, and is joined by regular cast members James D'Arcy, Chad Michael Murray, Enver Gjokaj, and Shea Whigham. Neal McDonough guest stars as Dum Dum Dugan, also reprising his role from the films, the leader of the Howling Commandos. Though no other Howling Commandos from the films appear, due to scheduling issues, the episode does introduce new Commandos to the MCU based on existing comics characters. The episode also introduces the origins of the Black Widow program, which plays a significant part in several MCU films.
