Rosa Salazar, the American actress known for movies like Alita: Battle Angel, Bird Box, and, The Maze Runner franchise was spotted on the sets of Captain American: Brave New World and people became curious. With several speculations and rumors on her way, it was heavily rumored that Rosa Salasar is portraying the villainous character of Diamondback aka Rachel Leighton in the upcoming MCU movie.

The rumor was further confirmed when a pamphlet from McDonald’s showcased the character of Diamondback alongside Sam Wilson’s Falcon!

The tweet roughly translates to:

“The McDonalds collection for “CAPTAIN AMERICA: A BRAVE NEW WORLD” will be available soon. The film, which initially had a release date for the next few weeks, has been postponed until next year. (And apparently, there was no way to change the collection calendar anymore).”

Well, the rumors do seem credible enough. Upon closer inspection, the character of Cascavel can be seen numbered 5 alongside Red Hulk. So, it could be potentially true that Rosa Salazar has indeed joined the movie to portray the role of Diamondback, or…this theory could turn out to be a complete hogwash.

Nothing can be confirmed or denied at the moment but if the rumor indeed turns out to be true, Marvel Studios will have accidentally spoiled their own movie (again)! Captain America: Brave New World is set for a release date of 14th February 2025 in theaters across the U.S.
