FALCON and WINTER SOLDIER: ZEMO Is About to Lead the New AVENGERS | ENDING EXPLAINED

Falcon and the Winter Soldier's ending left a few mysterious teases. Is Shaorn the Power Broker? Who is Val working for? But most importantly, what's next fr Baron Zemo? We think that Marvel is setting him up to be not a big bad for the MCU- but the next hero of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Now that he's in the Raft--near Thunderbolt Ross--and his fellow super villains--it's only a matter of time before he forms the Dark Avengers, or the Thunderbolts. This will allow him to undo the legacy of Captain America, Tony Stark, and all of the other heroes he hates. And maybe...just maybe...Red Hulk is around the corner too.

idk what the future of the MCU is, but I hope there's more Zemo dance parties

[@AbjectPermanence]

Red Hulk needs to be rolled into this arc about "supersoldiers" that was so heavy through the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series. When Zemo warned about supremacists and asked if we wanted to live in a world full of people like Red Skull, Thunderbolt Ross and his Red Hulk are exactly what he was talking about. Red Hulk needs to fulfill the narrative function of a spiritual successor to Red Skull, a corrrupted ubermensch who uses their enhanced power for fascist ends. I want to see a character in-universe directly draw the connection from Red Skull to Red Hulk.

Zemo can definitely pull thunderbolts off also, Contessa Valentina Allegra de fontain called Zemo “our friend” while talking about the bombing blast that took down the last flag smashers. It’s possible he has begun his “army of people, like the avengers” in the raft.

[@seanwelch71]

I think Zemo's initial motivations will be subtly changed over time, due to the change in perspective he'll gain compromising for the people. I like the idea of the Thunderbolts being formed in the wake of a breakout at the Raft. Villains catching other villains while disguised in new alter egos sounds good. I have the debut issues of each original T-bolts member. Zemo takes leadership in a story called (I call it!) "The Enemy of My Enemy."

[@ryangillego5232]

[@melissaharris3389]

I don't think Zemo will ever wear any iron armor. He's to dedicated to his view on power. It's his mind and ability to scheme and plan that makes Zemo dangerous. Having Secretary Ross assemble the Thunderbolts as a government run black ops group works. Using imprisoned enhanced individuals to do the dirty work that the heroic Avengers won't do a la the Suicide Squad. I think having the whole thing blow up in everyone's face with Ross becoming the Red Hulk and rampaging around as a result and Zemo's "no super heroes" stance becoming increasingly popular would be great. The government can't be trusted to not abuse their power, individuals can't be trusted to police themselves. So many story options.

[@jeemiahedwardiii6857]

[@erickrupa1748]

Zemo is definitely my favorite character in the MCU right now. I will be disappointed if he doesn’t have a bigger role going forward.

[@chooseurownground]

Great video as always! If Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio is not really dead in Spider-man 2, he could be a great asset in Zemo's team as well, seeing how he exposed Peter's identity at the end.

[@mkocel]

I just cant see Zemo teaming up with Ross unless its like Ross FORCES him to. I know how it goes in the comics, but this MCU Zemo is all about ENDING SUPERHEROS. It seems contradictory to his character that he would then team up with supremacists who embody the very thing he hates. Even here in this show hes FORCED into working with Bucky and Sam out of his need to end super soldiers.

[@xinu1388]

As long we can see Zemo dancing its all good.

[@boogernights]

I like the direction where the void left by the Avengers spurred the government to create their own with Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers, the 2nd generation of MCU heroes with Young Avengers, and other characters sensing opportunity can create groups like Great Lakes Avengers (or the 50 State Initiative), West Coast Avengers, Heroes For Hire, and maybe even Mercs For Money!

The thumbnail of zemo smiling made me laugh

[@chriskuneman3310]

I foresee this as Thunderbolt Ross organizing a Thunderbolts or Dark Avengers team from the Raft that would be led by Zemo. I also could see that Ross would betray Zemo's team and it would ultimately lead to Ross becoming the Red Hulk with Zemo's team facing off against him in the final battle. And, then Ross/Red Hulk being defeated by Zemo's team then makes plans for his own Thunderbolts team.

[@alister431]

I mean, by their ability to pull him out of jail, connect and influence in a criminal underground like Madripoor only to just disappear again.... The actions of Sam and Bucky sort of prove Zeemo right, except when Bucky turns him into the Wakandans at the end. It’s odd that even in this series we see their assumption that they are right to exist outside of the law, and what happens due to it. Ultimately, Zeemo got the last laugh because of their ignorance on that as well.
