That would be Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. (You know, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes in Seinfeld.) Her character only has a few short scenes in The Falcon and Winter Soldier. Val, as she advises people not to call her, is a secretive and powerful person out to recruit the services of enhanced people.
Read on, but there are spoilers to Falcon and Winter Soldier.
Val is first introduced in F&WS after the new Captain America (John Walker) is stripped of his position. John and his wife sit in an empty hallway when Val walks in. She’s rather cryptic and tells John he should answer his phone if she calls. She gives him her business card—it’s solid black on one side, solid white on the other, no numbers or letters. (Basically it says, “I call you. You don’t call me.”)

Role in the comics
Val’s role in the comics is varied. In some incarnations, she’s referred to as Madame Hydra and in others she’s Nick Fury’s romantic partner. Her exact role in the MCU is yet to be defined. Good? Bad? A little bit of both?
You can read more about her backstory on wikipedia.com.

about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
I was certainly like, wait! Who is this?!? LOL
No doubt. I’ll bet lots of people who haven’t watched Falcon and Winter Soldier were thinking, “What the, what?” 🙂
I really enjoyed The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. I guessed that the Val role is meant to be the opposite of Nick Fury: making her own Avengers team, but with characters who aren’t intended to be heroes. Maybe a team of anti-heroes at best. It’s nice to have some new MCU questions to ponder.
