Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch ("the twins") show up right at the beginning of Avengers: Age of Ultron, and while their origins and source of power are not explained, they are referred to simply as "enhanced" people - the only two successful test subjects of Hydra to date. and is quickly becoming a core element of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's the current theme of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

(what's left of it on the TV show) wants to understand them in case they are dangerous. Hydra is experimenting on them to understand how to harness, control and develop super-powered people, and S.H.I.E.L.D. 3 Understanding The "Enhanced"Įnhanced people are a growing regularity in the MCU even if they've not been a topic of the movies until now. We met the remaining "heads" of the Hydra organization earlier this season and by this week's episode titled " The Dirty Half Dozen" (the direct tie-in to Age of Ultron) only two remain: List and Strucker. Coulson's team attacks List's base in this episode to stop his experiments and find out where Strucker and Loki's Scepter are located (more on this down below) - and this is where we pick up in the prologue sequence of Avengers: Age of Ultron - in the Eastern European nation of Sokovia. The majority of season 2 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is built around killing off the remnants of Hydra and discovering the presence of enhanced people, something Hydra has made their top priority. List (Henry Goodman) who's frequently appeared in the television series, most notably the latest episode which serves as a prequel to Avengers: Age of Ultron.
His right-hand man is another scientist named Dr. Strucker is a top Hydra official, seemingly the highest ranking one left according to the other Hydra officers in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. They are "enhanced" test subjects that Strucker has been experimenting on. It is here where we're also introduced to Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) who are in containment cells, seemingly out of control with super-powers we've never seen before. 5 When Did The Avengers Re-Assemble?īaron Wolfgang von Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann) is a relatively new villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, first introduced at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier in a post-credits sequence. This storyline can only be seen in in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Instead, there only remained small teams of trusted operatives lead by Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) who was appointed the new director by Fury (who's still alive). With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s leadership, the world security council, now out of the picture and director Nick Fury believed dead, the organization was no more the force it once was.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was torn apart from the inside months later in Captain America: The Winter Soldier when it was revealed that Hydra (Red Skull's faction from World War II) was still active and had spent decades infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D. The secretive organization (full name: Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) is a high-tech, elite international spy agency and it remained in charge of worldwide security after The Avengers first assembled to protect New York from Loki and his Chitauri alien invaders and then went their separate ways. Director Nick Fury's idea to spearhead the Avengers Initiative - a plan he believed in strongly that would gather the rare extraordinary people of the world in a time of need to protect against the most dangerous of threats. So, if you're a fan of the films and want some background information of the events leading up to the Age of Ultron, or maybe you missed a few releases along the way since this is the 11th film in the franchise, we're here to help. How the Avengers discovered the location of this base and the experimental work being conducted by Strucker here isn't explored in the limited run time of the film but it's something Marvel has been building towards for quite sometime. Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye are together again and they're on a mission to take down Hydra's current top official, Baron von Strucker, and retrieve the dangerous and mysterious scepter left behind from Loki's attack on Earth. The sequel throws viewers right into the action with the team already assembled on a mission against a Hydra base. Avengers: Age of Ultron builds upon the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that took place after Earth's Mightiest Heroes first assembled for The Avengers in 2012, but there are other events that occurred in the background since then that most moviegoers will not have seen or read.
