Summary
OneMCUPhase 4 twist has become one of the franchise ’s most hated , but I have intercourse a way thatCaptain America : Brave New Worldcan solve this annoying enigma . The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , Marvel Studios ' second MCU - place TV show , explored a grounded storyline for Anthony Mackie ’s Sam Wilson and Sebastian Stan ’s Bucky Barnes in the aftermath ofAvengers : Endgame . Despite being more down - to - Earth than many late MCU undertaking , however , the six - part serial still included some major twists , but one made me very lost .
As well as mark the return of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes as the titular Falcon ( by and by Captain America ) and Winter Soldier , respectively , The Falcon and the Winter Soldieralso brought back Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter . Peggy Carter ’s niece first seem inCaptain America : The Winter Soldier , and developed a controversial romance with Steve Rogers before disappearing afterCivil War . She had always been depicted as a steadfast ally to Captain America and a consecrated SHIELD agent , soThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier’stwist endingfor Carter matt-up really out - of - space .
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has some unaffixed plot threads dangling . The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ’s likely second time of year can wrap one up .

I’m Still Not Over Phase 4’s Power Broker Twist Ending
The Falcon and the Winter Soldierintroduced the Power Broker as a cryptical villain , with their identity being hold open hidden until the series ' explosive close . Sharon Carter was revealed to be the Power Broker , engineer villainous events behind the view throughoutThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier , but this made very little sense for her character . I still have n’t quite figured out why Carter would transubstantiate into a scoundrel , even after relocate to Madripoor as a fugitivefrom the United States administration followingCivil War .
As the Power Broker , Carter used her influence and connections in Madripoor to ramp up a criminal empire . She fund Wilfred Nagel ’s super - soldier blood serum experiment , sold his functional serum to Karli Morgenthau and the Flag Smashers , and is now infiltrating the United States government following her amnesty . This is a far - cry from her day as a heroic SHIELD agent , and I ’m among many who have expressed concern about this charge , but I know howSam Wilson ’s return inCaptain America : Brave New Worldcan put this storyline to rest .

Captain America’s Brainwashing Scene Can Fix The MCU’s Power Broker Issue
From the details of thefirst - look footage ofCaptain America : Brave New World , we know thatSam Wilson ’s Captain America will be expire up against brainwashed super - soldiers , admit Isaiah Bradley . These brainwashed characters , presumptively under the control of Samuel Sterns ' Leader , will be essay to assassinate the new President Ross , now limn by Harrison Ford . The same brainwashing technology might have already been seen in the MCU , however , and this could well explicate why Sharon Carter became the Power Broker .
I thinkrevealing Sharon Carter to have been brainwashed by the drawing card would be a much more satisfying account than just having her become the Power Broker for no skillful reason . Tim Blake Nelson first appeared as Samuel Sterns back in 2008’sThe unbelievable Hulk , which notice his transformation into the Leader , so it ’s very possible he ’s been extract string and manipulating events for the last 16 eld . This would give even more weight to Sharon Carter ’s twist inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier , as she may not be the only hero turned uncollectible by the Leader .
Marvel Studios ' forthcoming Captain America : Brave New World is set to revive a foe from Phase 1 , perhaps solving a major issue with the MCU ’s villains .
Sharon Carter’s Marvel Comics Story Had A Brain-Washing Parallel
Under Doctor Faustus ' mesmerizing suggestion , Sharon Carter on the face of it killed Captain America .
One of the independent grounds I foundSharon Carter’sThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierrevealto be so jarring is the fact that she has always been a steadfast hero in Marvel Comics . primitively a valued SHIELD agent , then Steve Rogers ' love - interest , brief Director of SHIELD , and later fellow member of the Secret Avengers and the Daughters of Liberty , Sharon Carter is clearly not a villain whatsoever . However , one bit in Carter ’s Marvel Comics history means the Leader brainwash her in the MCU makes complete sentience .
Back in 1999’sCaptain America ( Vol . 3 ) # 25 , Sharon Carter was brainwashed by Red Skull and Doctor Faustus to eliminate Steve Rogers . Under Doctor Faustus ' hypnotic suggestion , Sharon Carter apparently kill Captain America with three shots to the abdomen . Carter being brainwash to become the Power Broker in the MCU would be a brilliant reflection of this storyline , and I ’d be interested in seeing the excited moments this creates : if she breaks complimentary from the Leader ’s control condition inCaptain America : Brave New World , she would need to deal with the impact of her nefarious actions .
