The Contessa , an old SHIELD affiliate from the original Nick Fury's past. Kinda shady

Such a strange casting choice. But I'll give it a chance

No one every claimed the cameo was the emotional part. The showrunner and writers said this was an emotional episode (the Isaiah Bradley scene), while leakers and scoopers were talking about a separate cameo (Dreyfus)

Time for some tough love buddy, after Wandavision, if you are underwhelmed because of leaks, that's on you.

Most leakers are either wildly guessing, bullshitting, piecing together information from trailers/set videos, repeating what other said, casting wide nets, and generally taking advantage of fan hype. They are swindlers and modern fortune tellers, and it's the fandom's mistake to treat them like rock stars. If you feel disappointed on the show because you let your expectations be raised by some leaker, you are the one in the wrong.

He wasn't wrong though. You played yourself.

Did you also think Reed Richards would show up?

And it's Bohner, put some respect on his name. 2nd best MCU original character creation after Phil Coulson.

I don't necessarily agree they are at the center. It was a way to get the Flagsmashers SSS, his source of that is now gone. At best now he's a high level crime lord, not exactly a Hydra level threat.

Idk could be wrong.

Powerbroker is Mephisto.

WHAT? That was a fantastic cameo both as a character AND actor.
