This week on The falcon and the winter soldier, an enigmatic character from the Marvel comics – one that would apparently appear in the delayed Black widow movie – is given a face. And a very famous one.
About a third of the way to the Disney + series’ episode on April 16, after the disgraceful new Captain America was read by a senatorial committee on filth, John Walker and his wife Olivia were approached by a conspicuous brunette. Played by eight-time Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the woman introduces herself as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine – although you can only call her ‘Fall’ (but … do not).
As he sat down next to John, he trusted the fallen superhero: ‘I would have killed the bastard too’, referring to his very brutal, very public outcry from Flag Smasher Matias. Unfortunately, “The guys in tires have a thing to protect,” she says with a nod to the senators who just stripped John of his job and gave the military something other than honorable dismissal.
‘You did the right thing’ by taking the Super Soldier serum, Val whispered, and to do so, Walker ‘did a lot, very valuable to certain people. In fact, she says that the increase second-smartest decision he ever made (linked to marrying his ‘coconut’ of a woman). But his best decision will pick up the phone when the contessa calls him. And after handing over her (blank) business card to Olivia, Contessa Valentina slipped away Allegra de Fontaine.
Is Val the series’ often mentioned, yet to be seen Power Broker? It would seems so, although it was never made 100 percent clear. But in the Marvel comics, Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is one alter ego of Madame Hydra, and among other things, she was at one point a love interest for SHIELD boss Nick Fury. She was also at one point in charge of SHIELD’s Femme Force female assault team, along with … Sharon Carter.
According to Vanity Fair, JLD is expected to be the Contessa in the Black widow original film with Scarlett Johansson, who made the release date return several times and now appears on July 9 at Disney + and theaters. The fact that she’s making her debut on the small screen is a slight effect of the date being moved to movies and TV series. .
“After a year, after seeing all the shows and movies we’re made, there are some very small things that, if people are interested, could point to the shift,” said Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios. , said TVLine in January. “I can only think of one now, and it’s very small.”
Our full summary of the episode “Truth” will be posted later this morning. Until then, weigh in on Dreyfus’ debut!
