Yes, but she's severely underutilized.

Originally she was supposed to appear in the Black Widow post-credits, but we got her a little early during Falcon & The Winter Soldier.

She also had a brief storyline in Wakanda Forever, but that hasn't really gone anywhere.

The Black Widow setup gave us a Hawkeye storyline that didn't really make sense, but it did get Yelana into the main story.

The Falcon & The Winter Soldier story gave us Thunderbolts.

Thunder is finally when she's really doing things, but that film needed a little more breathing room.

I expect she'll be wayyyy out of her element during Doomsday/Secret Wars. (Plus no need to be secretive when the world is falling apart.)

I hope she gets a chance to really shine in the future.

I'm sorry, I meant Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, no offense intended.

I think you mean Contessa Selena Allegra de Meyer.

Seriously though, watch Veep, and if you've already seen it, watch it again. JL-D could play this level of self-justifying narcissist politician in her sleep.

And yes, she is killing it.

Fair enough! I probably should watch it again this winter - great show. I guess I'm not so much surprised that she can do it, but that she is doing it.

Can we all agree that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is killing it as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine? | Spyke
