A few days ago the trailer for Thunderboltsa Marvel Studios film which will return several secondary characters to form a very powerful and effective team whose purpose we still do not know until this trailer.
Several of the fans who attended D23 were able to witness this trailer before everyone else, now, we mortals were finally able to enjoy it digitally and we found out many important things within a trailer that promises to bring an exciting and interesting film if it goes well carry out the project and do not make the same mistakes as always.
In this article we will show you who the Thunderbolts are, what characters this team is made up of, what the movie will be about and everything we learned from the trailer; the release date; and finally we will talk about the strange asterisk that appears next to the film’s logo and our theories of what this strange symbol in the film may mean.
Everything we know about Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts
Who are the Thunderbolts?
In order to explain who the Thunderbolts are, we will first have to go back to their origin in Marvel comics. These are a group of “superheroes” created by Baron Zemo, who passed off a group of villains as heroes to deceive the world.
This evil plan created by Zemo went wrong because the villains, comfortable with now being loved and idolized and finally being the good guys in history, decide to stay on the path of good, unmask the baron and with the help of the Avengers defeat him.
Believe it or not, this concept is not entirely different from what we will see in its adaptation in the MCU, since many of these characters have done horrible things in the past and in a certain way they will seek redemption within this team, precisely as mentioned in the trailer; only this time the figure of Zemo will be replaced by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, since the baron will not return for this film.
In the comics, a large number of characters have been part of the Thunderbolts team, from heroes like Hawkeye, Deadpool, Red Hulk, Scar and many more characters.
Speaking of characters, let’s explain who each member of the Thunderbolts is and where we know them from:
- Valentina Allegra de Fontaine: The first time we saw this character was in Falcon and the Winter Soldierlater we would see it in projects like Black Widow and Wakanda Forever. In all of these he makes clear to us his twisted morality and his desire to dominate the world. Likewise, in the trailer we are confirmed that it was finally she who ended up buying the Avengers tower, perhaps to make it the new base of operation for the Thunderbolts.
- US Agent, John F. Walker: We could also see this character in Falcon & the Winter Soldierwhere in the post-credits scene he is undergoing a trial for his actions during the series, only to later be freed by Valentina, so it is likely that he is in the Thunderbolts to repay the favor.
- Ghost/ Ava Starr: This character is probably one of the most forgotten in the history of movies in general, we were able to see her for the first and last time antagonizing Ant Man & The Wasp (Ant Man 2), this time he returns to join the Thunderbolts.
- Red Guardian/Alexei Shostakov: This is the “father” of Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) and Yelena Belova, who is back once again to be part of this team.
- Taskmaster: One of the most wasted characters in Marvel history returns with an even worse design and zero dialogue in the trailer. This showed us the character we saw for the first time in Black Widow just like Alexei and Belova.
- Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes: We all know this character, who sadly seems to become second fiddle again, behind the true protagonist of the plot, Yelena Belova.
- Black Widow/Yelena Belova: This charismatic character will take on the role of what appears to be the real protagonist of the film. She is Natasha Romanoff’s sister and we had already seen her involved with Valentina since the post-credits scene of Black Widow where La Fontaine tricks her into trying to kill Clint Barton in Hawkeyebut is stopped by Kate Bishop.

Who is Bob in the movie? Is it Sentry?
During the advancement of Thunderbolts We were introduced to a new character who will surely also be part of the team, Bob; which we know will be none other than Sentry, as we can see his belt later in the trailer.
Sentry in the comics is a superhero almost as powerful as a Superman could be in his base state (very strong), however, this poor man is never remembered by anyone, despite having known and been friends with the Fantastic Four, Spiderman, other heroes and having even saved the Avengers themselves on occasion; Nobody is able to remember it, but all this has an explanation.
In the comics, Robert Reynolds, alias Sentry, discovers why he lost his memory and everyone forgot about him, the reason being that he has two hidden alter egos: one good (Sentry) and one evil (The Void), the which if released would wipe out the planet and destroy everything in its path.
The problem is that if Sentry uses his powers, The Void also becomes more powerful, so Robert made the decision to make everyone forget both parts so that the evil version never takes control and destroys everything, causing it to end very badly. mantally damaged due to this process.

What will the film be about?
The trailer does not really show us a very clear continuity of the plot that will have ThunderboltsHowever, with all the aforementioned elements and details about the comics of some of these characters we can imagine something of what we will surely see in the film in the end.
We know that Valentina Allegra de Fontaine will assemble this squad of reformed heroes and villains to create the Thunderbolts, as we have seen in several post-credits scenes such as with Yelena and US Agent in different projects.
She will be the leader of the team, but as always, she will have secret plans and will surely embody the same concept of Baron Zemo mentioned above, where in the end these heroes will realize that they are being manipulated by her and will rebel against her.
On the other hand, although we did not see any clear enemy in this trailer, we can imagine that the squad will join Sentry and together they will face different objectives until they reach the true antagonist of the film, Sentry himself, who, like in the comics, he will unconsciously let The Void escape and end up turning against his friends.
If this happens like this, he will undoubtedly be a rival with much stronger power levels than any super soldier member of the Thunderbolts, so even together it will be an almost suicidal mission… exactly, doesn’t that plot sound familiar to you?
That’s right, to be honest the plot of Thunderbolts looks very similar to Suicide Squad 2016 to be honest, superheroes without powers against a threat that greatly limits their abilities as a whole. Despite this, the Marvel Studios film seems to have a lot of promise, so let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint us like the first version of the Suicide Squad did.

As some fans may have noticed, after the lyrics of Thunderbolts An asterisk can be seen in the movie logo
while in the trailer more emphasis is placed on this symbol, showing it seconds after the name of the film appears, so it is obvious that it is an important detail.

The strongest rumors suggest that the new title, or subtitle (personally we think it will be a subtitle) will be “Dark Avengers”, which makes sense because number one: they are operating within the newly purchased Avengers headquarters, and number two: In the comics the same thing happened with the squad in 2012, when its name was also replaced by this other one. The truth is that it would sound strange to us if these characters agreed to be called the dark versions of the Avengers, it sounds immoral, our theory is that at the end of the film they will discover who Valentina worked for, who could be nothing more and nothing less than the great Kingpin , which would be better introduced as a very powerful villain in the series Daredevil: Born Again
a few months before.
The Thunderbolts, upon learning this, separated themselves from the Dark Avengers and would create their own team with the old name on their side, while the Kingpin team would be restored with new characters and introduced to the MCU, ready to appear in future projects. We also recommend you read:
