Captain America: Civil War - 10 MCU-Shattering Outcomes That Fans Want To See
7. Return Of The Red Skull
With all the excitement of superheroes fighting superheroes and the Cap/Stark bromance reaching an abrupt end, its easy to forget that HYDRA will have a presence in Civil War as well. Exactly how theyll factor in, however, nobody outside of Marvel Studios seems to know at the moment. One potential HYDRA plotline posited by the rumour mill is that Daniel Brühls Neo-Nazi scientist Baron Zemo could be attempting to bring back Caps nemesis, the Red Skull. The last time the Red Skull was on screen was Captain America: The First Avenger, where he was zapped into the Tesseract. But what if this didnt kill him, but actually endowed him with strong new sci-fi superpowers? It'd make for one hell of a twist for the Red Skull to return with a new bid for global domination while Earths mightiest heroes are too busy fighting each other to notice. And if Cap ends up dead, imprisoned or forcibly retired from superheroics as a result of Civil War, how will he be able to stop HYDRA once the infighting is over? The Red Skull returning with more power would be an interesting way to tee up a future film, as well, be that Captain America 4 or perhaps even Infinity War. After all, if the Teserract took the Red Skull to space, whos to say that he didnt find some powerful new otherworldly allies? Thanos/Red Skull team-up, anyone?
