After WWE Superstar Seth Rollins was spotted on the set of Captain America: Brave New World, we quickly figured out that the pro wrestler was playing a member of the villainous Serpent Society.
Since then, it's been reported that he'll take on the role of Cobra, a classic comic book villain who has clashed with Steve Rogers on multiple occasions over the years. On the page, there have been a couple of Cobras, though we're guessing Rollins could be playing an amalgamation of the original, Klaus Voorhees, and his nephew Piet Voorhees.
Now, new details have been revealed about Cobra's powers in the MCU (via TheRingReport.com).
As you can see below, it's said Rollins' version of this villain will make use of "bio-technology [which] will be used through his teeth." The scooper adds that, "His bio-tech 'grill' will be able to expand into fangs that can spit venom."
This is unlike any other power we've seen in this shared world and we're sure Rollins' Serpent Society member will pose a significant challenge to both Sam Wilson's Captain America and his new sidekick, Joaquín Torres/The Falcon.
With The Leader and even Red Hulk also expected to be part of Captain America: Brave New World, it's unclear what role Diamondback and Cobra will play in the story. However, we'd imagine they're working for Samuel Sterns as he's definitely smart enough to have outfitted them with these unique superpowers.
The movie stars Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Tim Blake Nelson, Shira Haas, and Liv Tyler. Julius Onah directs from a screenplay by Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson, though he's also believed to have taken a pass at it.
Captain America: Brave New World will be released in theaters on July 26, 2024.
