Marvel Studios Thunderbolts* will be an interesting litmus test. The studio’s first film to be fully produced following Bob Iger‘s return to Disney and subsequent effort to improve the quality of the company’s biggest studio projects, the final Phase 5 film has undergone quite a journey.
Once more or less Black Widow 2, the film’s marketing suggests it has evolved into something more while still holding tight to some of its original bones. Now, a new trailer for the film shows off the project’s “big surprise” while a new synopsis reveals who the actual big bad will be.
Surprisingly, not only does the trailer reveal the truly glorious identity of Lewis Pullman’s Bob, it also very strong hints at the presence of the Void!
New Synopsis for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*
In Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late?
Marvel Studios New Avengers Thunderbolts* closes out Phase 5 on May 2nd.
