Falcon and The Winter Soldier’s major cameo character was first set to appear in Black Widow
A change of plans

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Falcon and The Winter Soldier has finally revealed the big cameo that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:has been talked up for weeks. Now, a new report suggests that the character was originally set to appear earlier in a delayed Marvel project – wh🌊ich hints at an exciting, all-e🌄ncompassing future for the mysterious new arrival.
Spoilers for Falcon and The Winter Soldier episode 5 follow. You have been warned!
reports that Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ turn as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the most recent episode was not the original plan for her debut. Instead, the Contessa was set to appear in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Widow, the standalone movie that once marked the beginning of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 4 before its delay.It’s unclear if she’ll still factor into the prequel – or even if Valentina, who has previously gone by the name Madame Hydra in the comics, would have brid𓄧ged things to the MCU present-day in a post-credits scene – but Marvel apparently has "even bigger ambitions" for her character.
Signs point to h꧅er either setting up the Thunderbolts, a motley crew of Suicide Squad-style anti-heroes designed to do th🌌e dirty work the Avengers won’t touch, or Marvel's positioning her as an anti-Nick Fury.
Given the ch🧔aracter’s comic book ties to both Hydra꧂ and a shadowy organization by the name of Leviathan, it’s not a stretch to suggest she’s collecting super-powered villains – such as John Walker – to do her bidding.
Where will the Contessa rock up in high heels next? The smart money is on Black Widow, set for theaters and on Disney Plus via its Premiere Access range on July 9, but expect this to be the first tentative steps in a plan that cou🐼ld seꦇt up the MCU’s next Big Bad – or an entire group of them.
