Is ‘Thunderbolts*’ Secretly a ‘Dark Avengers’ Movie?
At CinemaCon this year, Kevin Feige revealed that Marvel’s upcoming Thunderbolts movie had a new title: Thunderbolts* with an asterisk. He wouldn’t explain why, he said, until the movie came out.
Why give a movie a title with an asterisk? We think we know: This Thunderbolts movie is going to likely turn out to be a Dark Avengers movie in disguise. But who are the Dark Avengers? And why not just call it Dark Avengers? In our latest video, we’ll explain this Marvel Comics’ team’s complicated origin and backstory, and we’ll explain what we think is going to happen in Captain America: Brave New World, how Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolt Ross is going to have a major presence in both films, and why we suspect it will lead to Thunderbolts* turning into Dark Avengers.
For all our theories, check out the video below:
