Marvel fans are in luck! We have a new MCU villain in the offing, and the excitement has been raging on social media.
The new villain of Marvel has broken the Internet and has amazed fans. Last week, leaked photos from the set of Captain America: New World Order seemed to reveal that Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) first big-screen appearance as Sentinel of Liberty will star the villainous group known as the Serpent Society. The images aroused a lot of expectation among the viewers.

WWE Superstar Seth Rollins was seen with a mystery woman (believed to be Diamondback based on her outfit). And now we can know which actress is playing the character. According to Murphy’s Multiverse, Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel) will appear as Diamondback in the Marvel Studios movie. If you take another look at the image above, the actress on the right appears to be Rosa Salazar, but with blonde hair. In this way, we would already have confirmed the villain of Captain America: New World Order.
Who is Diamondback and what can we expect from this villain?
Insider My Time To Shine Hello has also commented on this information from Murphy’s Multiverse. My Time To Shine Hello believes that Diamondback, and not King Cobra, will be the leader of the supervillain team known as the Serpent Society.
Diamondback crossed paths with Captain America numerous times in the Marvel comics. And though she was a villain, she ended up having a romantic relationship with Steve Rogers. Will this become a storyline for Sam Wilson in Captain America: New World Order? We do not know. Of course, the character of Chris Evans has already passed away within the UCM. Therefore, it would not make any sense to follow that line of argument. However, they could do it with Sam Wilson.
