HYDRA 1970 is a Disney+ original miniseries based off of the comics and character(s) of the same name and the tenth entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - MAX Phase 2.
Synopsis[]
Time flows differently throughout the multiverse, and on Earth-464 the year is 1970. Despite this, different versions of familiar faces still exist - including one Baron Helmut Zemo. On that hellish Earth, he is a high ranking member of HYDRA's inner circle and answers only to the Red Skull and HYDRA's mysterious "Supreme Leader." Appealing to his hatred of HYDRA and his family history with the Nazis, Nick Fury tasks prime-Earth's Zemo to pull the old switcheroo and kill his doppelganger while taking his place, embarking on the ultimate spy mission. But can the crafty and unpredictable Zemo be really trusted?
