As the trailer unveils, the formidable team is brought together under the ambitious eye of the CIA's new leader, Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who first intrigued audiences in "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier."

"Questioning the reliability of known heroes, Valentina forms her own squad of defenders, " the trailer hints, igniting curiosity about her true motives.
