Jake Schreier’s Thunderbolts* shares similarities with DC’s Suicide Squad movies, with a scrapped idea making it even more akin to James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. The MCU’s first team-up movie since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Thunderbolts* sees the team renamed “the New Avengers” by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, setting up a clash with Sam Wilson’s official team. The post-credits scene hints at a longer stint as the New Avengers for Yelena Belova’s team, with potential for a new Thunderbolts line-up in the future.
