King Cobra (real name Klaus Vorhees) is a prominent name in the villainous Serpent Squad but has also worked for HYDRA.

After being bitten by a radioactive cobra, Vorhees gained superhuman powers that allow him to contort his body in incredible ways.

The Marvel villain can also stick to walls and ceilings and is decked with various venomous projectiles that he can shoot from his costume.

The character debuted in Marvel Comics in 1963’s Journey into Mystery #98. Rollins’ costume on set is similar to a modern version of the character’s costume in comics.

While neither Rollins nor Marvel have confirmed reports, it has been reported for some time that the Serpent Squad will be in the upcoming film.

Captain America: Brave New World is set to release next year.
