Be careful who you assemble, reads the tagline in the first trailer forThunderbolts.
On one hand, the statement tracks with the ramshackledare we say Suicide Squad-esquenature of the trailer.
Yet, the most compelling part of the trailer comes at the end.
Or, more accurately, the full title.
However, the trailer does give us a few hints on the teams true identity.
Later, Bucky (Sebastian Stan) comes riding after them, presumably sent as well.
That tracks with the teams comic book legacy.
Venom became Spider-Man, Bullseye was Hawkeye, Daken was Wolverine, and so on.
In short, the Thunderbolts have always existed in a space without the Avengers, often to nefarious ends.
And the MCU as of now has no Avengers.
At the same time, weve seen Allegra working in the background to gather her own team.
And if her actions inBlack Panther: Wakanda Foreverare any indication, Allegra has nothing good in mind.
Who knows when the asterisk will be removed and the full title revealed.
Thunderbolts* hits theaters on May 2, 2025.
