If you've seen Marvel's Ant-Man, which was released last week, you'll know that Darren Cross attempted to sell his Yellowjacket technology to members of Hydra. Ant-Man managed to put a stop to all that, but not before Mitchell Carson could make off with Cross' version of the Pym Particles.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fans will know that ex-agent Grant Ward has since taken over as leader of Hydra, leading many of us to wonder if it was in fact him that was ultimately after the Yellowjacket suit. When this question was presented to Kevin Feige, he responded, “People can read into it. We’ll see what it is. We shot that way before [the ‘SHIELD’ finale]." While that may sound like everything is still up in the air, Feige says that's just how it normally goes. "Honestly, somehow that is how connections happen. Something that they don’t seem connected and someone goes, ‘Hey, you know what? We could connect these things.'”
At SDCC a couple weeks ago, Brett Dalton himself was asked the very same question about his nefarious character. “I think that Hydra doesn’t have a sense of leadership at this point," he says. "We’ve had the Hydra with Strucker, we’ve had the Hydra with Whitehall — all of these other versions of Hydra — and, you know, it’s a ship in need of captaining. Ward has elected himself, and he’s a hero in that story. So, yeah, I don’t know if he’s doing that sort of technology or whatever or if he’s the one who specifically said, ‘Hey, you need to go and get this.’ He’s up there on the list.”
Whether it was Grant Ward himself who made the call remains to be seen, but it definitely sounds like he was involved! We'll know for sure when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for season three this fall!
"In the aftermath of SHIELD’s battle with Jiaying and the Inhumans, Director Coulson (Clark Gregg) will search the world for more powered people and assemble an extraordinary new team to deal with threats unlike the world has ever seen. However, the Agents of SHIELD will soon find out they’re not the only ones tracking down these new Inhumans.”
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns to ABC on Tuesday, September 29 at 9 p.m.
