Agent Carter 3: Jarvis's Last Stand
Just joking, I hope.
Well, there's a possibility SHIELD wasn't actually founded until the 80s, so Agent Carter might not ever get up to that. She was listed as in the SSR at least as late as 1953, and while the organization is old, SHIELD seemed a bit new in the first Iron Man movie. That could cover both directions, IMO, because it's been around a long time but has a newish name and possibly newer jurisdictions.

Funny how all of these comments came around full circle. There is a supposedly canon MCU comic, Iron Man 2: Public Identity, that establishes Jarvis being around until at least Howard and Maria's death in 1991. It also establishes things like Jarvis and Tony and their close relationship. There is also an off-hand confirmation that JARVIS was named for Jarvis. When adult Tony walks into his childhood home, he has the following exchange with JARVIS--
Tony: "But then, this isn't really home, is it?"
JARVIS: "Then for what purpose did you install me here?"
Tony: : "Force of habit, JARVIS, You've always been here. Every time I visited from boarding school you were the happiest to see me."
JARVIS: I don't recall, sir.
Tony: "OK, never mind."
I think this fits in quite nicely with what was established on Agent Carter, as being unable to have his own children, of course Edwin (and presumably Anna, but there is no mention of a "Mrs. Jarvis" in the comic), who would more than likely be tasked with watching the boy a great deal, would become quite attached to him.
Public Identity even depicts the first meeting between Stark and Thaddeus Ross in a way that actually dovetails quite nicely with their dealings in Civil War.
In Public Identity, Stark tells Ross that if he ever hears of him trying to do this and that ever again that "There will be consequences", in a threatening tone. In Civil War, while trying to placate Ross over the actions of Cap and Falcon, he tells him, "Yes, there will be consequences" in a conciliatory tone.
Almost all things considered Public Identity holds up well against MCU canon. Except for one, tiny detail established in Civil War.
Public Identity and Civil War depict two different versions of Howard and Tony's final meeting. The two scenes are tonally very similar, but in PI, Tony is lounging in the pool and couldn't be bothered to say goodbye to his dad.
Now, I still count Public Identity in my head canon. I just swap out the two scenes in my head and keep going. So as far as I am still concerned, Jarvis still lived until at least 1991.
However, it underscore why Marvel would be reluctant to publish comics that establish even minor details about the MCU and why they would not approve Craig Kyle's monthly MCU pitch.
BTW-- You can watch/read all three issues of Iron Man 2: Public Identity (and most other MCU comics) on YouTube.

It's actually a really good story.
All the Avengers have quit or been murdered, but before Edwin can get the band back together, there's a giant robot attack, where he saves the day (Adamantium umbrella, I shit you not.) and rescues a grateful damsel (That's her on the cover.).
Is that Man-Thing in an armoured suit?

Nah, it's just possessed junk in New York (may have been a police car at one point, I can't quite recall). It's part of the Inferno crossover event with X-Men.
I saw the inferno tag on the cover-corner, and wondered how a robot attack and demon attack would coincide peacefully, my bad, but...
Oooo!

I had that issue back in the day, Jarvis got a kiss out of that from a blond lady he rescued 3 or 4 times.
But that was single bald Jarvis, Agent Carter has not bald and married Jarvis.
Still, the artist clearly used Man-Thing's head as a model.
Or an elephant, or a WWI gas mask.
Most likely it was accurate right up until the "you know what's about to happen" line. That line itself is somewhat meaningless unless everything prior to that didn't play out as it did in reality. Or at least the version of reality that is Tony's memory.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwddamnit.
TV giveth and TV taketh away. We get to keep Supergirl, but we lose Peggy.
