Thunderbolts is mainly the Avengers, but when the Avengers dedicated morally questionable acts of violence within the identify of justice (really in hindsight, that additionally sounds just like the Avengers). Within the comics, they seem to be a workforce of “superheroes” meant to switch the Avengers after that group was declared useless — the twist being that the Bolts had been really villains in disguise. Regardless, the looks of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in Falcon and the Winter Soldier ought to have made it fairly apparent that this team-up of villains would occur in the end. Thunderbolts will function the tip for Section 5 and former MCU villains rumored to seem are Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), John Walker aka U.S Agent (Wyatt Russell), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) and Abomination (Tim Roth).

Section 6

Marvel lastly has the rights to the Implausible 4! Perhaps they’ll make a improbable film out of this property contemplating all 4 of the earlier F4 films are rubbish (that is not true we love 1994’s Implausible 4, SERIOUSLY). After a current cameo in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity that I would not wish to spoil, it is cheap to surprise if that actor will play Mister Implausible. In any case, the MCU’s Implausible 4 will kick off what appears to be a HUGE Section 6.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige introduced at Comedian-Con that Section 6 may have TWO Avengers movies inside six months of one another and can serve equally as a two-part Multiverse Saga finale a-la Infinity Battle and Endgame. Going by title alone, Secret Wars has the potential to utterly outclass Endgame in its sheer quantity of cameos and appearances. That storyline within the 2015 Marvel comics collection concerned the collision of the principle Marvel universe colliding with an alternate universe, which destroyed each and created the “Battleworld.” Given how shut the discharge dates are for these movies, allow us to pray Marvel and Disney do not underpay and overwork their proficient workforce of VFX artists to make all this film magic occur.
