According to a new rumor, a well-known villain organization will be featured in Captain America: New World Order and that it will involve a familiar character from the MCU.
MCU fans already know that Tim’s leading man Blake Nelson is one of the confirmed villains of the 2024 film. But this latest rumor suggests Anthony Mackie’s Captain America-starring film will involve more villains than expected. originally.
On The Hot Mic podcast with John Rocha. Insider Jeff Sneider claimed that he heard that Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Valentina Allegra de Fontaine will not only be in Captain America 4, but that she is “working together with five other villains to form the group, The Serpent Society:”
“I heard she’s in the movie…in ‘New World Order’…working with five other villains to form the group, the Serpent Society. And the main mission of her is to obtain a special metal that is not Vibranium ”.
Who are the Serpent Society?
In Marvel Comics, the Serpent Society is an organization made up of villainous members whose identities are inspired by snakes, first appearing in Captain America #310 in October 1985 that was created by writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Paul Neary. Solutions Snake first appeared in Captain America: Sam Wilson #1 by writer Nick Spencer and artist Daniel Acuña. Since we will see the version of Sam Wilson, it is likely that the study will explore the latter. Most of the villains that Mark Gruenwald featured in Captain America were created to symbolize aspects of contemporary American culture and the world political situation. In the case of the Serpent Society, Gruenwald created them to symbolize unions.
As for those “five other villains,” it’s worth noting that comic book members of the society have included Viper, Princess Python, and Diamondback.
Interestingly, there were rumors of a casting call for a female character named Diamondback and a source claimed to have ties to the snake society.
Some have speculated that Captain America 4 actress Xosha Roquemore might be playing this particular new MCU character.
As for that “special metal that is not Vibranium”, previous rumors suggested that it Captain America: New World Order features “a new metal called Adamantium,” the same element that coats Wolverine’s bones and claws.
This rumor finally brings the Serpent Society into play years after Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige first teased the group’s existence. At the 2014 The Capitan Theater event where the Phase 3 slate was revealed, he announced Chris Evans’ third film as Captain America: Serpent Society before revealing the true title of Captain America: Civil War.
The character of Valentina Allega de Fontaine in constant growth
Although Marvel Studios has yet to confirm Val’s new role within the Serpent Society and the organization’s search for Adamantium, Jeff Sneider’s information backs up what other scoopers have heard in recent months.
Now that filming for Captain America 4 is underway, more evidence of this particular plot may not be long in coming. However, it’s worth noting that Val is already confirmed for another less than clean team, the Thunderbolts.
Will she play a double/triple agent role as a CIA director, a member of the Serpent Society, and the Thunderbolts? Let’s remember that in the comics Val was a member of HYDRA.
Who will form the snake society?
As for who will round out that five-villain team, that’s a mystery yet. While only time will tell, this new organization should make things interesting within the MCU going forward.
Also, his interest in Adamantium is a clear connection to Wolverine, who will once again be played by Hugh Jackman in Deadpool 3. Though the MCU could still introduce a new actor to play him in future X-Men movies.
Hopefully, Marvel Studios should have more to share about Captain America 4 in the coming months as filming progresses.
Captain America: New World Order hits theaters on May 3, 2024.
