It escaped everyone at the time. Or almost. Above all, who still remembers it? A few hours before the release of Captain America: Brave New Worldwhich was similar to a joke is no longer one. In 2014, when announced the list of films that would constitute phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic UniverseMarvel Studios’s pattern, Kevin Feigeannounced a first title for the next film Captain America: la Serpent Society. The interested party had retracted very quickly by later revealing the real name of the new adventures of Steve Rogers, the famous Captain America : Civil War.

At the time, this announcement effect had no other use than to deceive the audience and to be a joke. Eleven years later, seeing this team of villains little known to the general public landing in the cinema proves that Kevin Feige still had projects for this team at the time. “It was really a funny deception”said to Entertainment Weekly Julius Onah, the director of Brave New Worldassuring the American media that the SOCIETY SNAP had been one of the issues present from the first discussions around the film.
A shadow company that loves snakes
If La Serpent Society – Society of the Serpent in French, easy, huh, did you have it? – So this is called, it is not to try a marketing blow. But because all its members have a name, appearance, capacities and powers linked to this breed of reptiles: Black Mamba, Anaconda, Rattler, Diamondback, King Cobra, Constrictor, Viper, Princess Python… Just as there are several varieties of snakes, there are therefore several very distinct members within the SOCIETY SNAP, a team of secondary bad guys. Maybe a little less after Captain America : Brave New World.

Since the old shadow society rots the daily life of Avengers was none other than Hydra, that the latter was put forward in Captain America: the winter soldier and that the tone of Brave New World It gets close to it, the arrival of the Society snake is ultimately not so absurd. “Cut a head, he will repel two more”: After all, an evil organization can hide another.
A small business that does not know the crisis
A little story: the Society snake appears for the first time in the Marvel universe In issue #310 of the series Captain Americain 1985under the leadership of Mark Gruenwald (in writing) and Paul Neary (in drawing). It brings together the remains of a band of bad guys – Snake Squad – already formed around the theme of the snake in something more serious and framed: the Society snake.

Reunited around Sidewindertheir leader, this new organization, however less known than AIM, Hydra or the hand, becomes a real strike force. Its principle is simple: execute the contracts of the bad guys, for payment. Clearly, the SOCIETY SNAP, it is a provider for super-villains (like Caïd, for example) and a real business. Each member has a salary, social coverage, medical care, retirement and regular work. It is therefore not only content to bring together bad guys around a common goal, it becomes their reason for living and moving forward.

An ideology that owes a lot to Sidewinder, an intelligent businessman, outstanding tactician and who has taken care to observe other criminal organizations – as well as the fall of the Squad snake – to understand that even the bad guys could unionize. Moreover, despite several changes of leaders and members, the organization, which will change its name to be called Serpent Solutionswill keep his concept of working and collaborating with other companies to do the dirty work in their place.
Intimately linked to Captain America
The Society and Captain America snake is a long story. Which will extend on several carriers of the vibranium shield. Steve Rogers les the combat, Sam Wilson Also, at the time when the SOCIETY serpent turned into a serpent solutions. Their first confrontation with the Avengers leader occurred when the group was sponsored by AIM to eliminate M.O.D.O.K (unfortunately not that ofAntman and the Wasp : Quantumania), at least its original version.

Despite the intervention of Steve Rogers, the tyrannical AIM leader was killed by Aspic, one of the members of the Society Serpent. Sam Wilson must battle with them in volume #5 of Captain America : Sam Wilsonin which he teams up with Diamondback to drop the snakes. At least, he thinks he teams up with her, since the latter betrays him and it is the new hawk that steals to his rescue. An index on the scenario of Brave New World ?
What version of the Society snake in Brave New World?
This is the whole question and ultimately, some answers are already within our reach. Failing to know if the SOCIETY SNAP will be, at some point in the film, presented as a whole, we know that two members will be highlighted: Sidewinder et Diamondback. The first will be interpreted by Giancarlo Esposito Tanis que c’est Rosa Salazar who will lend his face to the second. Communication around the film has been centered on Giancarlo Esposito, which will play the first Sidewinder, responding to the name of Seth Voelker.
The actor, very enthusiastic about the idea of embodying a marvel villain in the cinema, has been very involved in the role. The latter, obviously, will not be accurate comics. No snake head, cape or genetic mutation were presented during the trailers, even if the clothes worn by Giancarlo Esposito remind the colors of Sidewinder’s costume a little. In comics, Seth Voelker, after discovering the shenanigans of his business, the Roxxon Oilfor which he worked as a financial analyst, obtains for his silence (and as protection against his employers), a surgery that will allow him, via an advanced and miniaturized system, to be able to teleport and teleport people with him. This is how he convinces the other members to join the SOCIETY SNAP, promising them, thanks to this faculty, to never end up in prison.

There is still no indication that this version of Sidewinder will not be able to teleport in the film. What is certain is that the leader of the Society serpent – that we will see in the future in the projects of Marvel Studios, will highlight other qualities in the MCU, like his intelligence, his sense of The strategy, his mastery of combat and weapons. The race for Adamantium – symbolic fictitious metal of the Marvel universe linked to Wolverine – being openly declared in Brave New Worldwe can assume that the Society snake will act in the shade for the service of large powers in search of this metal. We can also assume that the leader is one of their customers. Finally, we could see here and there an Isaiah Bradley, the former Captain America, farted the lead and attack President Thaddeus Ross. If it is a question of thinking of mental control, again, Sidewinder should have a role in there.
