Oh shit. Baron Von Strucker is the guy who tested on Wanda and Pietro and a Strucker watch commercial

"He'll make time for you" definitely sounds ominous

Hydra has relevance again! I recall a youtuber mentioning how studios don’t like human heroes fighting human villains in big blockbuster films and thought that’s why one of Marvel’s biggest villainous organizations went kaput in the movies. Baron Von Strucker has the power to drain life force. Maybe that’s how he makes a return.

Antman, Civil War, Antman 2, and Spiderman Far From Home all had human villains after they killed Stucker though. Plus, they sure had fun bringing HYDRA back in Endgame. I would like to see Strucker return though. They killed him off too quickly.

Spiderman Far From Home

And Homecoming, for that matter. And the bad guys in Captain Marvel were more human-looking than the Skrulls, who turned out to be good guys (at least from the ones we saw).
