5) What’s Going On With S.H.I.E.L.D.?
When last we saw S.H.I.E.L.D. on the big screen, it had been taken down by Cap, Black Widow, Falcon and Nick Fury in order to eradicate HYDRA, which had slowly taken over the organization from the inside after World War II. While S.H.I.E.L.D. is still alive and well on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with Coulson at its head, nothing on the television series has managed to make it to the big screen, leaving a big question mark over the current status of the once-powerful organization.
In what may amount to be one of the biggest moments of deus ex machina in film history, Nick Fury is seen arriving in a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier just as Sokovia needs to be evacuated, with Maria Hill and a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents ready to lend a hand.
What does this mean for the organization going forward? Will it rise once more, and take prominence in Civil War? Would the world (and Steve Rogers) even trust S.H.I.E.L.D. after the events of The Winter Soldier? Only time will tell.
