While it's not clear when a Skrull may have replaced Sharon, the theory seems to suggest Civil War's more heroic portrayal was still the real Sharon, meaning the change would have happened after she became a fugitive. The theory would also conveniently explain Sharon's villainous intent to exploit her return to the CIA, but there are issues with this idea.įor a start, Sharon had been branded an enemy of the state following the events of Captain America: Civil War.
