As Cap:Winter Soldier approached I began to think about the connection between Agents of Shield and the film. My initial theory about what was going to happen in the film was based on Agent Hands involvement in AoS. In the books she was the second in command of an organization like SHIELD, called HAMMER. This pointed me in the direction of HAMMER possibly being a player in the Cap film. Much to my chagrin HAMMER was not a part of the film, but I still have hopes for the future as Agent Hand is a big player in the organization. Another reason I think HAMMER may be on its way to the MCU are two small hints in the show indicating HAMMER's presence.
In the episode "The Hub" there are two missable instances in which HAMMER is indicated. At 4:15 if you look behind the main cast you can see a screen on the wall. On that screen you can see references to ARMOR, EuroMIND and, most importantly, HAMMER. In the same episode at 4:27 as the agents are walking down a flight of stairs you can see a sign telling you what is where. HAMMER is on the sign, as well as a reference to the "Executive Director, which I'm thinking is more than likely Fury, or possibly the Director of HAMMER, who is unknown at this point.
I have hopes that HAMMER will come into the spotlight eventually. I'm actually thinking that as SHIELD is going through its Hydra crisis, HAMMER could potentially step up to be the new big bureaucratic organization put in place to protect the Earth. That is something that happened in the books and it didn't turn out well for super humans. HAMMER was able to convince the Security Council to pass legislation allowing them to effectively hunt down all super humans. Not a good day for them. I'm thinking that would make for a good plot twist in the films and give a good intro for Ultron. Who knows. I'm sure I'm way off, but I love speculating.
Tell me what you think of my theories and cause a lil' C.H.A.O.S.!!!
