As a die-hard Marvel fan, I couldn’t contain my excitement when Marvel dropped the bombshell at Comic-Con 2024 about Giancarlo Esposito joining Captain America: Brave New World as the villainous Sidewinder, the King of the Serpent Society. The announcement came as a surprise to many, including me, as Esposito had been part of the reshoots but his role was kept under wraps until then.
At Comic-Con 2024, Marvel unveiled a sneak peek of their new Captain America film, “Brave New World,” leaving fans in awe. Not only did they showcase what’s to come, but they also dropped an unexpected announcement: Giancarlo Esposito, famously known for his roles in “The Boys” and “Better Call Saul,” joined the cast during reshoots.
At Comic-con’s Hall H panel, Marvel unexpectedly revealed that Esposito would portray Sidewinder, the chief antagonist of the Serpent Society in the comics.

After the announcement, Esposito expressed his excitement for the new role in clear terms. He reminisced on how they first connected through fan speculation, leading to conversations. Furthermore, he acknowledged the buzz surrounding his character and officially confirmed that he will portray Sidewinder – the Monarch of the Serpent Society.
After being identified in the latest preview for Brave New World, this announcement officially confirms his involvement in the project. According to Entertainment Weekly, he expressed his excitement to fans: “This is a long-held dream coming true! Fan speculation brought us together and we began discussing possibilities. While there’s still mystery about my character, I’m thrilled to join this talented cast, especially working alongside Anthony Mackie. I’ve been holding back for so long, but now I can finally reveal it: I am the King of the Serpent Society. I am Sidewinder!”
At a fan event in Los Angeles several years past, Kevin Feige initially joked about the title of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) third Captain America film being “Captain America: Serpent Society.” However, it was later uncovered that he had been teasing and the true title was actually “Captain America: Civil War.”
Who is Giancarlo Esposito’s Sidewinder?
Brave New World, brought to life by Esposito. Before undergoing a transformative chemical mutation that granted him teleportation abilities, Sidewider was an Economics professor. However, instead of using his powers for good, he embarked on a criminal path and joined the Serpent Society.
In the movie “Captain America: Brave New World,” Anthony Mackie returns as Sam Wilson’s Captain America, joined by Giancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder, Harrison Ford portraying Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, and Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, who is also known as Falcon. The film is scheduled to hit theaters in February 2025.
