How is Valentina’s character different from Nick Fury’s?
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever features Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine as Director of the CIA. As she confronts Everett Ross in one sequence, she reveals her intentions to wage war against Wakanda.
Speaking of Valentina, Nate Moore also said he had no idea if that would be good or bad for the MCU. While both characters would be leaders in the MCU, their motivations are totally different. Fury was recruiting superheroes to protect Earth, but Valentina’s motivations seem to be the opposite of Fury’s.
As director of the CIA, she also makes it clear that she is ready to do anything to get the vibranium out of Wakanda. And while she continues to recruit Thunderbolts members, it’s believed she’s doing so so the team can take on heroes aligned with other governments.
His character seems more political than Nick Fury. Valentina focuses only on uplifting the United States without considering the dangerous consequences it could have. His character symbolizes how dangerous Nick Fury could have been if he had the same intentions as Valentina.
Although Valentina and Love at first sight are not villains, these characters still announce complicated times to come. black panther 2 clearly portrays Valentina’s intentions and it could spell serious trouble for future MCU superheroes.
