What now for Hydra in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

This feature contains spoilers for Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the TV show Agents Of SHIELD.

Hydra is, in an almost literal sense, the evil version of SHIELD.

But that said… what does Hydra want?

And how might that affect future MCU projects?

Weve had a think about where things might go for Hydra in future MCU projects.

They are, quite definitively, the series main villains.

I dont necessarily expect to see him in the show, but hear about him?

Meet some of his underlings?

Stay with us here.

So, heres the set up.

And this all begs the question: how does Hydra know so much?

One possibility is that Hydra has been in contact with agents of Thanos.

But its also probable that Hydra will tie in with Ultron.

Theyve already got at least one computer-based AI on the books.

Admittedly it looked like Arnim Zola got blown up, but then wouldnt you keep a backup of that?

Even if it was on punch cards and magnetic tape?

What Hydra will actually be doing inAvengersis debatable.

At some point theyll either organise a trade or come into conflict.

Probably not inAvengers 2, but thats where the set-ups going to be.

Frankly, Hydras use could run and run.

But they also come with their own stable of associated villains.
