 Does The Civil War Start With Marvel Agents of SHIELD?

An attractive hypothesis suggests that the Civil War between the Marvel superheroes - in the middle of the third film of Captain America - could start as early in the Agents of SHIELD, as the show is preparing to introduce an important character for the cross-over ...

The universe of Marvel Studios movie is in constant turmoil, and it also shows a list of films that the House of Ideas has announced over the past Marvel Fan Event. As we know, in fact, Phase 3 will consist of nine titles that will be released between 2015 and 2019, namely: Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Captain America: Civil War, Thor: Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and the double date with the epochal Avengers: Infinity war, which recounts the bitter war between superheroes and the powerful Thanos, the Infinity Gauntlet made it almost invincible.

Well, aroused much enthusiasm the announcement for Captain America: Civil War, which will adjust the crossover Marvel's favorite in recent years: it is the famous "Civil War" between the faction led by Iron Man, a supporter of the so-called "Superhuman Registration Act ", and Captain America, who instead oppose this drastic measure of the government to record - and, in some cases, be made public - the secret identity of every superhero. In the saga of Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, the plot is triggered by the tragic accident in Stamford, Connecticut, where the New Warriors - a group of young superheroes led by Speedball - run a reality show starring them while they hunt for some supervillains; Unfortunately, however, run into a gang which includes Nitro, who uses his powers to detonate explosives on his body, thus killing 612 people (including 60 children). Among the New Warriors Speedball survives only thanks to the kinetic energy field that surrounds it. The point, though, is that the incident arouses the wrath of public opinion and institutions: as a result, the US Congress enacts the Superhuman Registration Protocol to regulate and control the activities superhero on American soil, and the ago with the support of Tony Stark / Iron Man, who believes it is the only way to ensure the legality of superheroes.

Of course, Marvel Studios can not be transposed faithfully the Civil War comics, because I do not own the film rights to characters like Spider-Man and the Fantastic 4, which play an important role in the crossover. However, there are some items that may remain unchanged, as the triggering event that involves Speedball and the New Warriors. One clue comes from a story that we reported recently, that the actor Fran Kranz (regular collaborator of Joss Whedon) it is preparing to play its Speedball in the current season of Agents of SHIELD, as he has hinted in a tweet ... and then the question arises: can that Marvel wants to use the TV series to cast the first seeds of the Civil War?

The hypothesis (because it is only a guess) comes from Moviepilot, but it is quite sensible: after all, the House of Ideas has already drawn Agents of SHIELD to tell the upheavals of his fictional universe, as happened last season with the collapse of SHIELD and the war against the Hydra. The show could introduce Speedball and perhaps the genesis of the New Warriors, while in Avengers: Age of Ultronemergeranno the first disagreements between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers; In this way, the land will be ready for Captain America: Civil War, which could begin with the incident in Stamford (or something similar) and then tell the fratricidal war between the heroes, divided between government supporters and defenders of freedom. Agents of SHIELD, for his part, could show the consequences of this conflict from other points of view, if the series survives until 2016, when the Civil War will be released ... and who knows what these connections are not used to induce laABC to confirm the show for the third season.
