what are your opinions on the agent Carter groups ages?? It’s confirmed that Peggy was 1921 right? And I think Howard was confirmed same as Steve as 1917? But what about Sousa and Thompson, cause Thompson calling Peggy ‘kid’ in episode one makes me think he has at least a few years on her
Well anon I don't have to guess cos there's pretty good canon—well, canon-adjacent sources as to how old the characters are!
Yes, Peggy's birth year is confirmed to be 1921; I think that's from her funeral in CACW. Howard's birth year is 1917 according to the MCU Wikia, and is reflected in, of all places, a Disneyland prop of Howard's pilot license.
(Steve's birth year is actually 1918 according to the MCU Wikia, which extrapolated that from his enlistment form in CATFA and a deleted scene in The Avengers which contained his file. It is Bucky who was born in 1917; his date of birth is 10 March 1917, making him a few months older than Howard.)
While we never got Jack's canon age or even age range, in the original casting call, it is described that 'Agent Jack Thompson is in his 30s' (x). Peggy, meanwhile, would have been 25. It is entirely possible that he just called her 'kid' to be condescending; she did, after all, just put him in his place about filing his own paperwork. But at age 25, Peggy would be at least 5 years younger than Jack. I'm in my late 20s and I jokingly refer to people 5 years younger than me as kids. So really, that can go both ways.
(There's a headcanon out there that Peggy lied on her enlistment form to say that she was born in 1919. This was largely due to her birth year being listed as 1919 in a file from the same deleted scene where we saw Steve's. If we go by this headcanon, she would have been 27 to her coworkers. Still a plausible age range for Jack to call her 'kid', both as a reference to her age or as an insult.)
Daniel's age...this we actually didn't get any points of reference in Agente Carter; even the casting call didn't list his age range. However, we did get his personnel file in AOS S7, and as much of a hot mess of that file is, there's some useful information. The file (transcription here) lists his age as 27, but doesn't give a date of birth. The file header says it is for SHIELD (rather than SSR), but there's no way he is 27 by 1955 (the setting of his episode in AOS S7), so feel free to take that to mean that he was 27 when AC S1 started.
