by According to recent rumours, Captain America: New World Order‘s antagonist may also be this person.
Although not much is known about the movie as of now, fans are already anticipating the Leader, who has been named as the main antagonist. Tim Blake Nelson will once again portray the adversary, who was previously seen in The Incredible Hulk.
Nelson’s Leader may not be the only formidable foe Sam Wilson will encounter, it appears.
A New Potential Opponent for Cap 4
Insider Daniel Richtman claims that a female villain dubbed Diamondback will appear in the 2024 film opposite Tim Blake Nelson’s Leader in Captain America: New World Order.
According to Richtman, the casting call requests a “female, early to mid-30s,” of any race, to play “opposite Anthony [Mackie],” who is characterised as “a villain but also perhaps a love interest.” Additionally, the caller is informed that the character may make additional appearances beyond the 2024 film.
“CAPTAIN AMERICA NEW WORLD ORDER
New casting.
[DIAMONDBACK]
Female, early to mid 30s. Open ethnicity Lead.
Opposite Anthony, a villain but also possibly a love interest, there will be an option for more after this film. WILL BE A STRAIGHT OFFER”
The Serpent Society would include Diamondback, according to other speculations spread by CanWeGetToast on Twitter.
The Serpent Society is a possible idea that was initially planned to feature in Captain America: Civil War. It is an organisation of comic book villains with a theme centred upon, as the name implies, serpents and snakes. Viper, Princess Python, and, particularly in this case, Diamondback, have all been notable members.
Diamondback may be played by Xosha Roquemore, who was recently mentioned as being in the Captain America: New World Order cast in an unspecified (as of publishing) role.
Diamondback: Who is he?
If the name Diamondback is recognisable, it may be because a Diamondback appeared in the Netflix series Luke Cage. That Diamondback, played by Willis Stryker, is not the same character as the one Captain America 4 is currently casting.
This Diamondback is probably Rachel Leighton, a morally dubious Serpent Society member from the comics. Rachel has been a part of Evil Girls, Inc., the Secret Avengers, and Camp HAMMER, switching sides and allegiances in each, going back and forth between good person and bad guy.
She formerly had an affair with Steve Rogers in the comics, and more recently, she made an appearance in a narrative starring Sam Wilson, the current Captain America.
She appears in the New World Order narrative, which introduces the Serpent Society as a whole and suggests a prospective love interest for Sam.
Regardless, the 2024 movie appears to have more than one villain because the Leader has been formally announced and Diamondback has been widely reported.
On May 3, 2024, Captain America: New World Order will be released.
