The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has officially come to a close, and the Disney+ series has undeniably brought a lot into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition to advancing the stories of its two titular heroes in some major ways, the series also introduced a number of Marvel Comics characters into live-action. Among these is Countess Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine, a mysterious character portrayed in the series’ final two episodes by Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus. With previous confirmation that Val was initially poised to debut in Black Widow, before Marvel’s Phase 4 slate had to be reshuffled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fans have begun to wonder exactly when they could see the character next. As Marvel Studios producer Nate Moore recently told Entertainment Weekly, the answer could realistically be sooner, rather than later.
