Fans officially know who Giancarlo Esposito will be playing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! The actor’s character in Captain America Brave New World has been unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con.
Ever since it was revealed that Giancarlo Esposito was going to be joining the MCU in Captain America: Brave New World, the internet has been alight with speculation about who he might play. The studio has played things close to the chest. However, during a recent appearance at San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed exactly what villain Esposito will be playing.
Giancarlo Esposito took the stage along with the rest of the cast of Captain America: Brave New World at San Diego Comic-Con. It didn’t take long for the question to be broached by the Marvel panel, with Esposito revealing he’ll be playing the leader of the Serpent Society: Sidewinder.
Who Is Sidewinder Of The Serpent Society?
Even hardcore Marvel fans may not recognize the name of the villain Giancarlo Esposito is playing in Captain America: Brave New World. Sidewinder is a lesser-known member of the Serpent Society, a former college professor turned villain who formed the team from the defunct Serpent Squad.
It’s unclear if Captain America: Brave New World will reinvent Sidewinder for the live-action Marvel universe. Set photos of Giancarlo Esposito certainly don’t seem to spell Serpent Society college professor. Then again, it wouldn’t be the first time the MCU made a drastic change in an adaptation.
Captain America: Brave New World is currently slated to hit theaters on February 14, 2025. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
