Who Is Captain America: Brave New World’s Villain Diamondback?
She Has Ties To The Hero In Marvel Comics
Diamondback is a member of the Serpent Society in Marvel Comics. The villain and the team have yet to debut in the MCU; however, the supervillain group was already teased in the past. During the announcement that the MCU was working onCaptain America: Civil War, Marvel played a joke on fans by releasing a fake title for the film first. That was none other thanCaptain America: Serpent Society, which turned out to just be a hilarious bit at the time.
However, Salazar’s Diamondback and other members of the Serpent Society are finally coming to the MCU. PreviousCaptain America: Brave New Worldset photos showed a very different look for Salazar, who sported blonde hair alongside WWE star Seth Rollins, who seemed to be portraying Cobra, the leader of the Serpent Society. Now, Diamondback looks much more in line with her comic book counterpart as the Captain America film undergoes reshoots.
In the comics, Diamondback dated Captain America — Steve Rogers — for a time. With Chris Evans out of the MCU, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson could potentially get that romantic arc with the member of the Serpent Society. Based on how many villains are at play in the MCU movie, Sam could be helped by Diamondback, who turned against the leader of the Serpent Society in the comics after a hostile takeover of the organization. With reshoots happening, it remains to be seen how big of a role Diamondback will play inCaptain America: Brave New World.
