Thunderbolts*
I thinkThunderboltshas the voltage to be one of the ripe movies in theMCU , base on what I can order from the latest trailer alone . Due to be unloose on May 2 , three core preview have been released forThunderbolts * , withthe upcoming MCU movieeven have the in demand Super Bowl slot for its second . While this was an incredibly exciting expression at what to expect - with what seems to be the movie ’s arch - scoundrel , the Void , being reveal - I would debate thatthe latest trailer forThunderboltsis even better .
At this point , it ’s unclear whether Marvel Studios think to break more about what toexpect from theThunderboltsstoryor whether we ’ll ever get afirst facial expression at Bob ’s Sentryoutside of a blink - and - you’ll - lose - it shot from behind . I ’m glad to keep it that direction for now , as a firestorm of speculation rages in the lede - up to May regarding such burn questions as what the asterisk think . gratefully , the later lagger does n’t expose much at all , though what it does illustrate is thatThunderboltswill be a pure departure from the Marvel norm .
The Recent Thunderbolts Trailer Focuses More On Character Than Action

The latestThunderboltstrailer is unlike anything Marvel Studios has released before , and it has strike the ripe chord . Dubbed " Absolute Cinema,“the trailer cycles through the breadth of the natural endowment involve in the making ofThunderbolts * , calling tending to its collaborators having worked on such movies asThe Green Knight , Midsommar , andEverything Everywhere All at Once . It is a shrewd move that work to play up the prestigiousness involved and hold out a hand to fans of the form of " Absolute cinema " it name - checks . compare to other MCU installments , Thunderboltscertainly feel more like an indie darling .
The MCU has unveiled its Thunderbolts * team in a thrilling teaser trailer . Each penis boast a beguile comic book account and dynamic power .
This trailer combine that sentiment bydistinctly lack high - octane action and focusing rather on its composite type . As it cycle through the members of the titular team , each can be see in various emotional province , lending credence to the notion thatThunderboltswill research its theatrical role ' psyches . I retrieve this is a positively charged that should hopefully helpThunderboltsto stand out from the crowd , and it flies in the face of one of the main concerns pull down at the movie even months before the first trailer dropped .
A Big Thunderbolts* Complaint Is That The Characters Aren’t Superpowered Enough
There Are Well-Founded Concerns About How They’ll Fare Against The Villain
As Valentina Allegra De Fontaine stresses in twoThunderboltstrailers : " The Avengers are not get along . " Ever since rumors aboutSentry ’s involvement inThunderboltsbegan to convolution , this has spoil many MCU sports fan , as he is one ofMarvel ’s most sinewy characters , with his nefarious alter - ego being an Avengers - level threat at the very least . The move to alternatively pit him against a riffraff squad of relatively weak characters has therefore been a sticking point from the leap , as the Thunderbolts mostly comprise super soldier and assassins who , as Yelena puts it , " All just punch and pip .

Quantum phasing
The obvious outlier here is Ava Starr , whose phasing powers could prove useful , even if they do picket in comparison to Vision ’s full major power set . The rest is essentially a team comprise Steve Rogers and Black Widow , with nobody entertain a candela tothe Avengers ' most muscular member , Thor and Hulk . While I can see why some harbor business concern over the potential for flagrant examples of game armour and leaps in logical system , I think this makes the active even more compelling , as it turns them into the ultimate underdog with lot of under - explored potential for the MCU .
Thunderbolts* Focusing On A Team Of Lesser Superheroes Could Be What Makes It Great
Thunderbolts* Will Focus On Their Shortcomings
The fact that the Thunderbolts comprise underpowered superheroes lead mass of way for the movieto capitalize on their weaknesses and pitch an MCU movie that prioritizes pathos over pandemonium . Yelena Belova spotlight their shortcomings when compare to the great power of the Avengers foreshadows howThunderboltswill hone in on their insecurities , underscored by having them face off against a terror as powerful as the Void . impart further credence to this notion is how theThunderboltscast have repeatedly asserted thatThunderbolts*will focus on themes wall genial health .
This reality is likely to take its toll on the squad Bucky assembles .
Valentina ’s " The Avengers are not come " line also bolster this opening , as the picture show is n’t shy away from equate this squad to the relatively more iconic one that took down a universe - ending threat ( even though Bucky was involved in that competitiveness ) . This reality is potential to take its toll on the squad Bucky assembles . Should this end , as many have predicted , in the last of most if not all of the team , I thinkThunderbolts*has the potential to be something peculiar that could emulate the aroused gut - punch that wasAvengers : Infinity War .
