"At Marvel, we want to assure all of our fans that we hear your concerns about aligning Captain America with Hydra and we politely ask you to allow the story to unfold before coming to any conclusion,” says the statement. The statement is unaffiliated with any specific Marvel editor or higher up, ABC simply attributes it to “the folks at Marvel.” The first issue of Secret Empire hits comic shop shelves tomorrow, and today, Marvel released a statement to ABC News, an unusual outlet for the company, perhaps indicating that Marvel and ABC News’ corporate parent, The Walt Disney Company, had a hand in it.
Marvel's Secret Empire kicks off by doubling down on Captain America’s Nazi past Last week, the prequel issue, Secret Empire #0, detailed Captain America’s Hydra takeover of the Marvel heroes, and revealed that in the true, un-cosmically-altered timeline of the Marvel Universe, Steve Rogers was always a Hydra agent.

Recently, Marvel’s Free Comic Book Day Secret Empire tie-in book leaked, revealing a Hydra-aligned Captain America wielding Thor’s hammer (despite Mjölnir requiring its bearer to be “worthy”). The event has created significant controversy among fans since Captain America’s secret Hydra allegiance was revealed a year ago. Secret Empire, the culmination of over a year of build up from Marvel, concerns the secret, fascistic, Nazi-associated society known as Hydra mounting a successful takeover of the United States government with the help of a cosmically altered Captain America, now revealed to have been a Hydra double agent all along.
Marvel Comics released a statement to ABC News on its imminent summer event Secret Empire today, asking fans to “allow the story to unfold before coming to any conclusion.”
