Summary
Even thoughThunderbolts*is already filming, the plot remains largely unknown. However, a new rumor has surfaced, potentially revealing the storyline while also confusing many fans.
Marvel Studios has done a great job preventing any leaks aboutThunderbolts*, keeping the movie’s details under wraps. Even the meaning of the mysterious asterisk in the title remains unknown. However, a recent insider scoop may have exposed the plot. Surprisingly, instead of providing clarity, it has left fans even more confused.
The well-known industry insider, Daniel Richtman, has once again shared a big Marvel scoop on social media, this time aboutThunderbolts*.Richtman took to Twitter to reveal a potential spoilerabout the movie’s plot. Richtman revealed that Yelena, U.S. Agent, Ghost, and Taskmaster sent by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine on a mission to eliminate ‘someone’ in a vault. The group soon discovered that they had been set up and decided to join forces against their boss. While many fans are excited about the rumor, it remains unclear how The Winter Soldier,Red Guardian, and Sentry fit into this narrative, though one of them might be the target.
The latest revelation purportedly unveils the core plot of the movie. It is allegedly centered around several antiheroes banding together for a dangerous mission. While the identity of the target remains ambiguous, fans speculate that Sentry may be the individual in the vault. Although this premise might seem interesting, fans have pointed out that it isvery similar to David Ayer’sSuicide Squad.The DC movie also had a team of dangerous antiheroes and villains team up for a top-secret mission to fail. The movie also shows the mission going sideways pretty early on and the group realizes that there is an ulterior motive for the mission. Fans were quick to point out the similarities between the two movies, and many are disappointed by the revolution and think that the movie is doomed to have the same fate asSuicide Squad. This is yet another issue to add to the list asThunderbolts*has already faced several obstacles includingdelays and rewrites. As for how The Winter Soldier, Red Guardian, and Sentry fit into this plot, that information has not been disclosed yet, though it is anticipated that all three will play pivotal roles in the unfolding narrative.
Thunderbolts*is allegedly the final installment of Phase Five in the MCU. While initial speculation linked it as a potential sequel to 2021’s Black Widow, its exactconnection to previous films remains uncertain. Directed by Jack Schreier (known forPaper Towns) and penned by Eric Pearson (Black WidowandThor: Ragnarok) alongside Lee Sung Jin (Beef), the film boasts a stellar ensemble cast. Returning favorites include Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier,Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster, Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Adding to the excitement, Geraldine Viswanathan has recently joined the cast in a yet undisclosed role, taking over from Ayo Edebiri.
