I'd love for her to be in contact with Justin Hammer. He somehow becomes the guy just nonchalantly spilling all of the government secret tech to her, and then he finds out that he basically gave the leader of the Skrulls everything they need to launch the secret invasion.

I think Sharon should be a Loki/Baron Zemo character. Working and manipulating from the shadows not for a particular side but for self gain.

I’m rooting for Sharon and Justin hammer in Armor Wars just to see you lose it on Twitter 😂

Your love of justin hammer has made me appreciate him more than I ever thought it would. I really want him back just so you can be excited to see him again.

I think it’s important that people remember Hydra isn’t gone at all. In fact as recently as Ant Man (as far as I remember) Hydra was named in the MCU as being the buyers for the yellow jacket suits.

If she does turn out to be a skrull, then she would have been a shapechanging alien wearing a magic face disguise mask in the last episode, which just seems like such overkill

Last time I came this early Isaiah Bradley was captain America

So the thing that really kicked off the Secret Invasion comic event was when Elektra was killed in battle, and reverted to a Skrull. At the time, she was also the head of The Hand assassin guild, so it was a big deal that someone so high profile turned could be replaced by a Skrull without anyone noticing. I think Sharon being a Skrull AND the Power Broker makes the most sense, because they can play with her being evil, set up new threats for the MCU, and build up to her death, when she reverts to a Skrull, and kicks off the Secret Invasion series with Fury.

"Sharon Carter is most likely to end up as a Skrull. Not because she really should be, but because nobody should not be, less than her". Well said.

If Serpent Society turned up I’d be mega hyped. I have a hyper specific love of snake themed villains.

Its just Skrull related. Either she is one, or she's going deep to lay the groundwork against them

Yeah I've been suspecting she's a Skrull since I was trying to figure out what her deal was when I finished the show. I think we will learn that she was taken after Civil War (probably during the Blip) and has since been a Skrull, explaining her personality 180.

Throughout the whole show I was like 'yeah she's def the power broker' and then they revealed it and my brain went 'hmmm now that u say it that way... I don't believe u'

I recently rewatched the winter soldier movie and noticed that she was talking to Robert Redford’s character until they notice cap coming. Maybe she was a double agent the entire time.

I've been rewatching all the MCU. And knowing that Sharon is now the Power Broker at the end (as of now, in FATWS) it makes her whole MCU arch a lot more interesting to watch. I really hope they continue with this.

Instead of a Skrull, what if Sharon turned out to be Mystique? In the comics, Mystique has impersonated heroes and done espionage work, so impersonating Sharon would be right up her alley. Considering Madripoor's connection to the X-Men, this could totally work. P.S. In the Runaways tie-in comic to Secret Invasion, it was revealed that the invasion wasn't an official attack by the Skrull Empire, but a group of religious zealots who thought the Earth was promised to them by a prophecy. So... maybe that's what the show is about? 🤷‍♀️

I think she could take the role of Elektra did in the comics, someone connected to the criminal world that is killed early on in the skrull war that accidentally reveals that skrulls are infiltrating the world

Kinda a really out there theory but i love the idea that she's actually mystique. She's got the mutant connection in madripoor

I agree with the skrull stuff with her. She’s been in the MCU long enough to have an affect, but she’s not memorable or likeable enough to get people too upset about it. Plus if they really wanted to they could say that she was kidnapped in the 7 or so years after civil war

Sharon being a skrull would be cool, I think it would make sense if they explained why she was the power broker bc she was trying to find a way to give skrulls abilitys while they are shape shifted since that's something they can't do at the same time( at least in the comics I think)

i'd like to mention that for the Serpent Society, Diamondback and Bushmaster are already featured in Luke Cage, both of which survived their outings with implications that they'll return even stronger than before. and now with the 'Defenders' saga being officially canonized, we know they're out there and yeah Cottonmouth was also in season 1 but i doubt he fits in

I think she's a Skrull. She was wearing that mesh mask from civil war in the finale FOR NO REASON. She literally takes it off and says it doesn't matter that no one is looking for her there. Then why wear it at all! That served no purpose for the show. I think they were dropping a hint about her there.

The Scene between Sam and Joaquin. Where Sam is fixing redwing. Listen closely to what Sam says about redwing. That’s a setup for Armor Wars!!!!!

What I don't get is Sharon didn't have to be on the run, remember that for the 5 years she claims she was hunted, it was Steve and Nat who were running Avengers Complex. If she had the resources she claims to have, she'd have known that. Also her aunt was similarly hunted and her moral compass never shifted. Sharon's character just didn't add up.

Sharon Carter as Power Broker gives major Agents of Shield vibes

I thought it was a pretty weak part of the show, and I didn't really care about her ending. It just seems like set up for something else.

Rhodey turning out to be a Skrull and being friends with Tony could still work well if done right. In particular if all the evil skrulls leave Iron Man's friends and family out of the conflict out of respect for him.

I think I saw this in Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, but it was with Bobbi, Steve and Sue Storm. I still want Sharon to be like Emily.

9:02 If Sam needs his own villains. I feel like the best thing to do would be to make new villains. Then no one would know its sloppy seconds.

Sharon Carter as Veranke, the Skrull Queen, makes a lot of sense. In the comics Veranke is disguised as Jessica Drew, the Spider Woman, who at the time was an Avenger, a SHIELD agent and had infiltrated Hydra, while simultaneously reporting back on the activities of all of those to Nick Fury. It could easily fit with her reacquiring her old government job, being a leader in the criminal underworld, having close ties to the Avengers, and also being tied to Fury or Talos. We don't have a Jessica Drew yet who we would care about being secretly a Skrull. Sharon definitely fits that role. Plus, her interest in the super-soldier serum is important to the Skrulls because the Skrulls don't have any natural super powers beyond their shapeshifting abilities and Veranke led the charge in developing hundreds if not thousands of Super Skrulls; genetically augmented skrulls who were given copies of the abilities of Earth's Mightiest so they could infiltrate and combat them.

My predominant theory is that she's secretly working for Fury as one of his Earth-based operatives (so maybe a Skrull?), but there's honestly just as much evidence of this as the other theories

Always hyped for a new Nando upload!! These videos are always fantastic!

Emily VanCamp did a show " Revenge " her character in that show was similar to that of Sharon Carter in Falcon and the Winter Soilder . Although , Revenge was loosely based on Alexander Dumas " The Count of Monte Cristo " .

Drops everything to watch your new content. Thanks for this Nando!

I just want Justin Hammer to come back and if he has to go through Sharon to get some goods, then that’d be chill!

I'm just gonna say... I loved the Sharon twist. I never forgot about her and she may be my favourite normal human character in the MCU.

I think she'll be the villain in Captain America 4. From a business decision it makes sense because Sharon has already been in the movies, so for people who aren't subscribed to Disney+ it doesn't need as much explanation as if US Agent or Carlie was the villain. Also Sharon has a long history with Sam and Steve and it could allow for some government connected characters like Everett Ross to be included, in a similar style political thriller like The Winter Soldier.

Love how Sharon being a Skrull is a "new" theory. I literally said that the first time I saw her.

I've been calling Serpent Society since Contessa first showed up. She's already and leader of the Serpent Society. The thing that made it click for me is that many of the members of Serpent Society were created by them. Constrictor, Diamondback, Cottonmouth and more were all created by Serpent Society. They are a crime cartel and nothing more, so it fits with the current incarnation of the Power Broker as well. I am super sure this is actually the direction we'll be seeing.

My theory goes that she is conected to The Mandarin and the Ten Rings Organization, yes she is a Cap character, but the Ten Rings have been stealing weapons since the first Iron Man Movie, and that they helped her rise up on Madripoor, she is a spy and all, but rising up in the criminal underworld on Madripoor in 7 years, she must have had some help, probably from one the biggest criminal organizations in the MCU

I think that Sharon's characterization was a victim of the cut pandemic storyline.

I feel like Sharon being outright villainous would be really boring and weird, and the MCU could really use a truly morally grey character who kills people just to keep her identity secret and sells US government secrets but also works with a literal boy scout and steals US government secrets.

I've been binging your videos (once again) you sir, are brilliant

I wish you'd mention that the video has a nebula version at the start! I've had nebula for a while but far too often I end up watching the whole video on KZfaq. Some creators mention it and some don't.

6:56 Bro has the Waves in. 🌊🌊🌊

I loved this video! Every second of it!

Been subscribed... absolutely love your content... just want more

i subscribed because of your fan theory video but also enjoy your voice narration amd videos in general

I been waiting for him to make this video

Remember when this video was titled "The NEW Sharon Carter Theory - Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Four" *_Pepperidge Farm remembers_*

I think Sharon could be a Skrull who had gotten disenchanted with the complacency of Shield in regards to securing a future for her people. We know that since the 90s, Fury and Talos have been working together in some capacity... but from what we see their efforts have been to protect Earth, and to each their credit that benefits Skrull refugees who reside there for sure, so Sharon plays along. But after Hydra is revealed - a threat from before the Skrull's time - Shield's capacity is crippled and Sharon's convictions that they're not doing enough are confirmed. Madripoor may be a "Pirate Nation", but for her its a place for like minded Skrulls to easily manipulate and deceive to acquire power, weapons, tech, etc. Lastly, she wants to create super soldiers because her long term goal is to assemble her own superior forces that would be able to go to other worlds where the Kree hold sway, destabilize them, and rescue refugees. After Thanos, there's no doubt any number of humans that could be convinced to take to the stars and stamp out threats before they started. Just as the Kree framed the Skrulls and malicious invaders, it'd be easy to paint the Kree as an oppressive zealots to unwitting earthlings, even paint them as complicit with Ronan, a Kree, being a conspirator of Thanos.

I feel like secret invasion is going to be the inciting incident for captain America 4 which is going to involve Hammer and Norman Osborn who's introduced in No Way Home. After captain America 4 Hammer or whatever they decide call it, will be up and running and we will get a dark avengers/Thunderbolts. Dr Doom will come on the scene, and that's when the next proper avengers is going to happen because the Thunderbolts will Job hard right before. Also that movie where we get the real avengers is going to be subtitled Ultimatum.

For the long shot skull theory, maybe the super soldier serum is for making super-skrulls? Maybe?

I just clicked on your pages on a whim didn’t even know you uploaded

4:01 Don't count on it. Feige been avoiding that stuff

Amazing Work 👍

I’m still thinking she’s being mind controlled by a more advanced version of the Winter Soldier program that allows cognitive awareness... but yeah, it’d be awesome if she was a Skrull!

Great video, I liked all the ideas you presented and agreed with your final statement instantly before you said ya know what I mean cuz I like.... I knew what ya mean’d

Also I now ship Sharon/Justin just to see you flip out. Hamter? Carmer? Shustin? Jusron? I'm gonna say Hamster.

I would love to see Falcon and the Winter Soldier S2 with Sharon Carter as the main villain

Spat my drink at "God's perfect idiot: Justin Hammer"

Ooooh, Reed's infamous cow solution! Very nice!

I thought Justin Hammer was gonna be The Power Broker. What a missed opportunity.

I have the feeling Thadeus Ross was the power broker originally, giving that the team that was send against the Flag Masher seemed like your typical US Specops in hollywood flicks. But then the producers though... "Nah, this is going to make people in the pentagon angry and cut their support. Let's better change it, no matter what".

So early! Whoo! You go, Nando.

Great video, but I have to be that guy….in the Marvel 616 comics the SSS enhanced Steve to the pinnacle of human potential, far beyond olympic level but NOT superpowered. It was like that in the MCU too as of Winter Soldier but idk if that lore still applies in the MCU

I think these options all make a lot of sense (and honestly I think Sharon being a skrull is probably the best guess), but no one is mentioning the 4th option. The triple agent option. Sharon is an operative for the CIA or for SWORD that infiltrated the Power Broker gang and moved up the ranks. It's why she didn't reach out to Cap or the remaining Avengers during the blip. She was where she wanted to be. And, for some reason, she can't tell Sam and Bucky about it, which explains why she acts weird in the show. And the blip helped her get in deeper in that organization, which is why she's so set up in Madripoor. I don't know what her endgame is... unless it involves taking down an even bigger bad that is pulling the strings of the "power broker". I'd love if that was Norman Osborne... but that might be hoping for too much.

I really wonder if she would be able to take Evil Cap's place in a Secret Empire adaptation, not necessarily a member of an organization, but someone who is willing to go through the hard methodical way to achieve absolute power

When I first heard the theory on TikTok, I just knew you made a video about this like 2 years ago but it was about Rhodey being a skrull

Besides, if she's a Skrull then she didn't kiss her sorta great uncle and their romance stops being kinda icky

I like Sharon for her own sake. If she was taken / replaced after Civil War, that might mean she still doesn’t know that Steve has gone back to be with Peggy. That could be interesting going forward.

There's actually something very interesting about the Serpent Society Idea.... Falcons eat Snakes.....

To be fair we're not in Phase 4 mainly because I like to think in the context of the MCU the Movies starts a new Phase, not the Shows, by that logic then Agents of Shield started Phase 2. So we're technically still in Phase 3, until Black Widow starts Phase 4.

4:04 Will they actually redo Inhumans? I mean, I know the show is on Disney Plus but...we all know it’s bad. It’s really bad. So I’m guessing they’re gonna use Ms Marvel as a redemption, like “Look! Decent storylines! A likable character! Ike Perlmutter and Scott Buck nowhere to be seen!”

As a fan of Sharon from the comics I just hate the way they treated her character in the MCU, and all of that just because some fans got pissed because she kissed Steve.

Aaanyway... subscribed! Lol

"Dancing zemo, play us out" dudes that amazing i love you

I just want hammer to come back at this point and I hope they don't ruin Sharon's character.

The Ocean's 11 reference chef's kiss!

01:23 Great stuff, keep it up!

Sharon being power broker is enough. I don't think she need to be part of another organization. She is her own organization.

I want her to be a Skrull, not only because of the things you mentioned, but also because of that kiss she had with Steve in "Civil War". If she's not a Skrull, then that was just super awkward.

you lowkey, in a way, called Ms Marvel being a mutant

8:38 I honestly rather pefer Serpent Society as Captain America 3, no offense to Civil War it's just, the movie felt like it was more of a Avengers Movie or Avengers 3, then a Captain America Movie.

Nando has earned my obligatory algorithm comment

I'm just hoping she isn't actually evil, whether it's skrulls, double double agent (triple agent), deep undercover--whatever, I just think this personality 180 is disrespectful to Peggy's legacy and Sharon's character in general, now, that's not me saying it doesn't make sense for her to take a dip into a less than heroic territory, it isn't out of the blue, well...it is, but it's understandable. She wasn't able to just brush being an enemy of the state off so easily like Sam, Nat etc etc, so her feeling alone, betrayed, jaded etc does make sense after such an experience

Secret Invasion is gonna be a fun ride if I think how they may play this in a great twist!

Nando I have a question. Now that Ant-Man 3 is getting underway, what can we do to get a full storyboard video of your Ant-Man 3 pitch? I mean the full movie. Marvel is doing a different thing so I just figure it's free real estate. The Ant-Man 3 pitch and opening scene are my fave videos on this channel and I NEED to see your version, my health could be at stake, maybe. Do you want Zemo dancing? I'll zemo dance. If it helps, I can try to guilt you by calling this your 3rd responsibility (addressing any and all aculos situations is the 2nd.) For real though, I would be SUPER down for a kickstarter or whatever, I'd actually like more of this kind of thing in the future.

My favorite thing in live-action adaptations is when campy, farcical IPs (like The Serpent Society) are turned into fan-favorite, fairly well thought out reimaginings. Leviathan could be the MCU Serpent Society, two comic IPs mashed into one and turned into something perfect for Sam to face off against as Cap.... or something, idk this is Nando’s thing haha

The Serpent Society looks like a support group for snake themed supervillains

Hawkeye being a skrull would be the most interesting addition to his storyline. Jimmy Woo being a Skrull would mess up the upcoming show "I Wuv Woocy", also featuring Darcy Lewis and her new not quite Rambeau-level power.

I recognise that reference!

hammer and her could work together as she may have the best connects being she is a broker. this would make perfect sence!!

3:52 Oh, how innocent we were.

"Is she an idiot" 😂😂😂😂😂

Leviathan was actually introduced in Agent Carter, and given that Sharon Carter is a Carter, that’s actually the one I find most plausible

What if justin hammer is the guy she is talking to on the phone at the end?

between armor wars and leviathan, I can't believe sharon carter's story could just be agent carter season 1

*Looks at the title*: "Away, hopefully".

I'm leaning towards a post snap skrull.
