Thunderbolts*
Thunderbolts*is the latestMCUstory to take place in New York , and I mean the most late trailer for the picture has reveal why the likes of such New York stalwarts as Spider - Man and Daredevil wo n’t be there to serve rally against the Void . The immense and ever - growing number ofNew House of York - ground superheroes in the MCUis becoming something of an issue when considering how often the metropolis is incrust by otherworldly threats . Asnew MCU installmentslikeDaredevil : Born Againcontinue to establish new street - level vigilantes , it buzz off increasingly harder to justify their absence .
give that Spider - Man and Daredevil are two of the foremost New York - based superheroes , the effect of theThunderbolts*trailersraise the apt question of their whereabouts as the mightiest foeman the metropolis has seen unleashes his divine powers on sinless New Yorkers . It is n’t as if the prevue shies by from this flagrant issue , either , as Bucky ’s recruitment of the squad is met with incredulity by Yelena Belova , who recognizes that the Thunderbolts " All just punch and fool . " Thankfully , I opine the trailer give us a clew to Marvel ’s justification this time .
A Recent Thunderbolts* Trailer Shows Manhattan Overrun By The Void
The Void Turns Citizens Into Shadows With A Wave Of His Hand
The latestThunderbolts*trailer confirms that the Thunderbolts will be going up against the Void , the ruinous alter ego of Lewis Pullman ’s Bob , AKA Sentry . This is immense , asSentry and the Void are two of the most powerful entities in all of Marvel Comics , whereas the Thunderbolts incorporate a host of down - and - out villains and antihero whose powers pale in comparing to the Avengers . Whilethe Void ’s comic script historyhinted at the tragedy the Void heralds , recent laggard confirm it .
The Sentry ’s logo and a flash of his costume can also be get word inThunderbolts*trailers .
The Void , the shadowy figure seen tower over New York in the trailer , can be seen wreaking havoc on the street below with what seems to be little drive . As he run his hand , his godlike abilities manifest as a shadow enveloping Manhattan and stimulate citizens to disappear in an instant , leaving nothing but an eerie silhouette behind . The summons is evocative of Thanos ' Snap , though admittedly less draw - out and therefore traumatic - but I wonder if the Void is actually wiping these innocent civilians from existence at all .
It’s Unclear If The Void Is Killing Everyone He Disappears
Marvel May Be Opting For A Less Grisly Fate
thing look pretty dire for New York citizens and the Thunderbolts , aswhatever the Void is wreaking is undeniably destructive . IfThunderbolts*is closely following the Void ’s characterization in the comics - where he is an unstoppable violence of perfect end - then the MCU may be depicting one of its most morbid baddie yet , whosepowers are 2d only to a gauntlet - wielding Thanos . Then again , Marvel may choose to take a less sick approach shot to the part , given he is an otherwisean Avengers - floor threatin a moving picture that is so far repeatedly prompt us of the Avengers ' absence .
The Multiverse Saga has arrived , and here is a complete usher to the MCU ’s multiverse with all the full term , concepts , locations , and issue to know .
Instead , the Void may be only cast out his victims . It is difficult to ignore the fact that he divvy up his name with one of the Multiverse Saga ’s biggest MacGuffins , after all . As the Multiverse Saga struggle against criticisms even out at its incongruousness , this would be an opportune here and now to tieThunderboltsto the wider narrative by having the Void bar his victims to the MCU ’s " Metaphysical junkyard . " If this , or something similar , is the routeThunderboltstakes , then I cogitate this could help explain Spider - Man ’s and Daredevil ’s absence from the ruffle .
Marvel Theory: Why Spider-Man And Daredevil Aren’t In Thunderbolts*
The Two May Have Been Banished
The Void seems to be bathing all of Manhattan in a creeping shadow that turns all it refer into a misshapen silhouette of their former self . It is unclear whether there is any get away this fate- save , for good example , if someone is sheltered in a building as the shadow grows . With that in mind , it would look that nobody is safe from its reach and effects , condemn all who hold out in Manhattan to a gruesome circumstances .
This hypothesis is proclaim , of course , on the notion that the Void does n’t outright kill his victims .
This would extend to Spider - Man operating out of Midtown Manhattan and Daredevil mesh out of Hell ’s Kitchen . With no prior warning of the Void ’s arrival , there would be very little the two superheroes could doagainst an encroaching phantom , leaving it up to the Thunderbolts , who seem to first see Sentry and maybe the Void in the honest-to-goodness Avengers tower , to step up . As none of the heroes constitute the team operate in New York , they are well station to face the scourge within from outside .

After Spider - Man : No Way habitation , Marvel and Sony have an even vainglorious task to make Spider - Man 4 , but will Tom Holland return and would it be in the MCU ?
This hypothesis is connote , of course , on the notion that the Void does n’t in a flash vote down his victims . To kill off Spider - Man and Daredevil so unceremoniously would be one of Marvel ’s most heinous moves , but they are at least shielded by the fact that both are due to return in future MCU installment . A short jaunt in the Void , on the other hand , could give both a first - hand look at the implications of the multiverse - a perquisite afford to very few so far .
The same excuse could , of row , be use to all other New York - based superheroes , depending on the extent of the Void ’s assault . With that being said , Doctor Strange was last seen get into the Dark Dimension with Clea inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . It can also be assumed that other superheroes are otherwise occupy - as the dawdler like to remind us . Spider - Man and Daredevil , however , are a little hard to explain , given they were both last interpret in New York . Then again , Marvel might take a more cut - and - dry access .
Another Reason Spider-Man And Daredevil Aren’t In Thunderbolts*
They Could Be Otherwise Occupied
There is acommon trope that necessarily pervades MCUmovies to kibosh each one from being an Avengers picture , and it stipulate thatthe MCU ’s superheroes are otherwise occupied most of the sentence . Obviously , when something like a Thanos - point scourge descends on Earth , it is unvoiced to apologize any superhero ’s omission from the fray - but it is withal accepted that the MCU ’s superheroes ca n’t be in all places at the same time . This might be the type forThunderbolts*and the whereabouts of Spider - Man and Daredevil .
It would be a less satisfying approach , but it certainly pursue MCU precedent to but have its superheroes occupied with some other threat .
Daredevil : Born Againis still pelt and could end with Matt Murdock in any issue of prohibitory situation by the meter the finis airs andThunderboltsis issue . Spider - Man , meanwhile , might be operating out of the accurate locating the Void is targeting - butNew York is a cock-a-hoop city . Without knowing how rowdy and swift the Void ’s assault is , as depicted in theThunderboltstrailer , it is hard to say whether Spider - Man gets wind of the catastrophe in metre to interpose .

It would be a less hearty overture , but it for certain follow MCU common law to but have its superheroes occupied with some other threat . Still , ifThunderboltsdoesn’t cover the absence seizure of two of its most notable superheroes , then I would desire thatSpider - Man 4orDaredevil : Born Againseason 2will . Better yet , perhaps both will join the fray in two surpriseThunderboltscameos ( madcap did appear inSpider - Man : No Way Home , after all ) - but I wo n’t hold my breath .
