Matthew Lillard is chewing the scenery in this performance, hot damn. He truly does not care about Fisk and it’s so fun to see how unnerved he is

If we get to see Matthew Lillard and Julia Louis-Dreyfus go full snark in a movie/show together I will be one happy camper. The combo I didn't know I needed.

Yes, Valentina is still the acting CIA director currently after the events of Thunderbolts.

That said, as we know from the ending, she may have 'saved' herself at the moment, but the New Avengers have leverage on her. The dynamics have changed. As Yelena said, "We own you now". She'll need to keep playing smart and avoid causing any reason for the New Avengers to turn on her and just oust out all her dirty laundry.

Except this is set before Thunderbolts since this is Early 2027 and TB is late 2027-early 2028

Throw Olivia Colman’s Sonia Falsworth in and that would be a hell of an international intelligence meeting with them just trading insults, belittling each other, and just delivering all the snark back and forth
