MCU: The Snap and the 15 defining moments from Marvel’s Infinity Saga

9. Captain America flushes out Hydra
Movie: Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
After Steve Rogers woke up from his ice nap, he thought Hydra was defeated. He sacrificed decades of happiness to save the world only to find out he was wrong. Hydra wasn’t defeated, they were hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D., laying low and setting things up so they could rule the world and eat all the tacos. Or whatever it is Hydra wants to do. They even used Steve’s best friend Bucky to help them rise to power.
Luckily, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Natasha Romanoff, and Nick Fury teamed and took Hydra down.
This was major. Captain America and his team stopped Hydra from flat-out destroying the world. Places like the Sanctum Sanctorum were targeted by the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarriers. Millions of people would have died. We could have also lost Steve Rogers and possibly Tony Stark in this onslaught of violence. Thankfully, Hydra was defeated.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Hydra was still around. As Hydra loves to say, “If a head is cut off, two more shall take its place.” They’re one of those goon squads that never seem to stay dead. Look for them to make an appearance in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney Plus. Especially if Zemo is involved.
