Article Summary
- Giancarlo Esposito joins Captain America: Brave New World as Sidewinder, leader of the Serpent Society.
- Marvel Studios confirmed Sidewinder’s character during a big news reveal at Hall H.

Marvel is currently in Hall H, breaking all sorts of news about three different movies tonight. One of those films is Captain America: Brave New World. We got the first teaser trailer for the movie not that long ago. Still, we also know that there have been some pretty decent reshoots as well, including reshoots that have added Giancarlo Esposito as an unknown character. However, Marvel has revealed that Esposito will be playing Sidewinder, the King of the Serpent Society.
Sidewinder, aka Seth Voelker, was first revealed in Marvel Two-In-One #64 in March 1980. He was created by Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio, and George Perez. There have been a couple of different versions of Sidewinder throughout the Marvel Universe, but the one thing that he has been consistently linked to for quite a long time is the Serpent Society. They were first introduced in Captain America #310 in July 1985 and were created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary. There have been rumors that the Serpent Society would be making a debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a long time, and considering that they are usually merchandise and business-focused, it would make sense that they are in a movie that Feige is calling more “grounded” like the previous two Captain America films. They have shown some footage in Hall H today, including a clip where they finally, FINALLY, address Celestial coming out of the ocean from Eternals. In other footage shown in house, we got another X-Men adjacent Easter Egg with adamantium being mentioned.
