>>89959196Very because he thinks Zemo and Selvig are dead and that Steve is subservient to him so it's going to be a surprise when all three plus the new Madame Hydra fucks him over.
>>89959479I honestly think he wants to have Steve on his side (because comics have shown in the past that Helmut prefers keeping him alive and subservient) but at the same time he also wants to be the man in charge.
So it's partially Helmut playing Steve and partially also wanting Steve with him.
That said I do expect Helmut to play him since Spencer said that the Captain Hydra story would also be a "how Zemo got his groove back" after years of him being made into a two bit villain so Helmut is going to do something grand.
Also if there is one person Hydra Cap is blind to it's Helmut which is kind of ironic since Hydra Cap said love made the other Steve weak and it's his love for Zemo that will ultimately fail him.
Maybe in the end Helmut gets some type of hero status or a pardon by the US Government/SHIELD and he gets to keep his Tbolt team (with Steve as an unwilling agent of course).
