Marvel’s big Thunderbolts* release is only a few weeks away, and I can’t wait to see this Avengers-like crossover as soon as it premieres. It’s easily the most exciting MCU film of the year for me, and I say that fully knowing that The Fantastic Four reboot we’ve been waiting for is coming in July.
We’ve had Fantastic Four stories before, albeit they were from different Marvel universes. The Thunderbolts aren’t exactly new characters, either. The Thunderbolts team will include plenty of former villains and anti-heroes we saw in other MCU stories. But this time, they’ll be heroes, fighting an incredible threat that will also be a potential ally.
That’s Bob (Lewis Pullman), of course, who becomes The Sentry and The Void, two powerful beings inhabiting the same mind. That’s no longer a spoiler, considering that Marvel has been showing this character in plenty of promotional materials, including trailers and clips, teasing his massive power.
How will this team of relatively regular humans subdue such an incredible being? That’s a mystery the movie will explain, though we already have a teaser hiding in plain sight. Also, I’ll note that the Thunderbolts* villain isn’t who you think. The trailers are misleading us, something we’ve come to expect from any MCU movie.
But the biggest mystery about the Thunderbolts* concerns that asterisk in the title. I aready think I know what it means, and it’s also a secret hiding in plain sight if you know where to look. I won’t have to wait for that May 2nd premiere to get my confirmation, as the secret behind that asterisk will leak much earlier than that, even before the official premiere.
Before I can tell you more, I’ll warn you that big Thunderbolts* plot spoilers follow below.
