Newcomer to MCU blockbuster “Captain America 4”: Will she be Sam Wilson’s new adversary – and his great love?

Xosha Roquemore (“Space Jam 2”, “Atlanta”) will play a secret key role in “Captain America 4: New World Order” to play. This is the informative content of a report from the US industry magazine . Normally we wouldn’t even cover such a flimsy casting announcement. But almost at the same time After all, rumors can provide a clue as to who is playing Xosha Roquemore – and this is where things get exciting.

Because just like the Marvel insider and scooper active on Twitter and Patreon reported (via ), Marvel is recruiting an actress in her early to mid-thirties for the Diamondback character. Diamondback is opposed as the female lead Anthony Makkie describedwho reappears as the new Captain America (and no longer Falcon) in Captain America 4. Diamondback is a villain, but may also have feelings for Sam Wilson and could appear in other MCU projects after the film.

At 38, Roquemore would probably be the right age for the role and also not far from 44-year-old Anthony Mackie. It may be a coincidence that their commitment was announced almost at the same time as the rumours, but we can well imagine her playing Rachel Leighton, aka Diamondback.

Who is Diamondback?

She also has an affair with Captain America in the Marvel Comics — albeit with the other one, that’s Steve Rogers. As the Diamondback, she frequently switches sides, being both a villain and a good one, and later also encounters Sam Wilson when he becomes Captain America. and as her name suggests, she is a member of the Serpent Society, said to star in Captain America 4.

The members of the villainous serpent company all bear the names of snakes (“Diamondback” is a type of rattlesnake, there are also Black Mamba, Viper and many others). An appearance by the Serpent Society and Diamondback is also revealed one of the most trusted Marvel Insiders on social media.

Whether Xosha Roquemore really plays Diamondback or maybe a completely different character, we’ll find out at the latest when “Captain America: New World Order” hits German cinemas on May 1, 2024.

Also joining the cast are Tim Blake Nelson (as Dr. Samuel Sterns / Leader), Harrison Ford (as the new cast of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross), and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier’s Danny Ramirez (as Joaquin Torres) and Carl Lumbly . (like Isaiah Bradley).
