![]() ![]() ![]() She's decided to operate outside of a broken and impotent system, and she's taking big swings. It's because of her still being that person that her swerve into crime does not necessarily mean that she's a villain as well. Sharon is still the woman who stood at Peggy's funeral and quoted the "no, you move" speech - most famously associated with Steve in the comics. It may have taken us the weekend to get there, but hear us out. It's an unexpected route to take this character and leaving aside questions about how it was executed, it's not uninteresting. There will be plenty for everyone.Īssuming that her Power Broker persona isn't part of an elaborate long game, Sharon Carter has gone criminal. She now has access to all kinds of secrets and weapons. Sharon gets on her cell phone of doom (still not an iPhone despite the pardon) and tells someone to line up their buyers. The government seems thrilled to have a new "Agent Carter." Cut to outside the building after she's pardoned. In the mid-credits scene of the finale episode, "One World, One People," we see a senate committee full of morons give her a pardon and her old job back. This was revealed in a scene she had with Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman), who only had the serum in the first place thanks to Sharon. About a thousand shots of Sharon making shady phone calls - she doesn't use an iPhone, folks - made pretty much every viewer think Sharon herself was this mysterious Power Broker.Įverybody was right, Sharon Carter is the Power Broker. She helps our titular characters maneuver around a mysterious character called the "Power Broker" and get some truth about the super serum. This doesn't stop Sam and Bucky from asking for her help again, except now she's involved in some manner of art thievery in Madripoor. Sam recognized that she got in a great deal of trouble for helping them before, which included losing her job with the CIA. Did Steve ever tell Peggy that he kissed her future niece? Maybe after their dance was over.Ĭut to the events of this show, where everyone remembered that Sharon existed. Whether or not she was ever intended as a true love interest for Steve, she certainly wasn't mentioned in either Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers: Endgame. She kissed Steve and then she vanished from the MCU, supposedly never to be seen again. She gave a powerful eulogy at Peggy's funeral - during which Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) found out she was, in fact, Peggy's niece - and then got into a heap of trouble for helping out Steve, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). If it were revealed down the line, perhaps in Secret Invasion, or even Captain Marvel 2, that Carter was indeed a Skrull during the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it would explain a lot.The last time we saw Sharon was in Captain America: Civil War. This is Peggy Carter's niece we're talking about. Not to mention that the Sharon Carter we knew couldn't conceivably go this far in the other direction. But it also seems feasible that her superhero pals could have helped her out in some way. Yes, it makes sense that Sharon Carter might have been ousted by the U.S. With that, the question must be asked is Sharon Carter secretly a Skrull? Jackson's Nick Fury at the center of Secret Invasion, it might make sense for Sharon Carter to pop up in the show as well. The Skrulls were a huge part of the comics and they are expected to be a big part of the show. We already know that Ben Mendelsohn's Talos is returning. A Secret Invasion series is in the works for Disney+. Skrulls, the shapeshifting alien race who can disguise themselves as anyone that were introduced in Captain Marvel, aren't done in the MCU just yet. This is a hardened, shady individual who has become cutthroat and connected to big-time criminals. This is not Peggy Carter's buttoned-up "do the right thing" niece anymore. No longer allowed in the U.S., Carter started operating in the shadowy underworld of Madripoor. Following her participation in the events of that movie, she became a criminal and a fugitive. The Sharon Carter we catch up with in the series is not the same Sharon Carter we left off with in Captain America: Civil War. Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. But did the series set Carter up for an even bigger twist down the line? What Happened With Sharon Carter In The Falcon And the Winter Soldier? To say the least of it, her character is radically reshaped by the events of the show and she figures to be a big part of the MCU going forward. ![]() One character of particular interest following the finale is Emily VanCamp's Sharon Carter. Like most things in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it wrapped up its narrative while leaving many threads dangling for future projects. After six exciting weeks, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has wrapped up its run. ![]()
