Thunderbolts*
Summary
Thunderboltsincludes many returningMCUcharacters , and it ’s the perfect chance to answer an open 3 - year - old question . Marvel’sThunderboltsis essentially its version of DC ’s Suicide Squad . It features several antihero coming together for a grave mission that falls outside the Avenger ’s horizon . The roster includes Yelena Belova , Red Guardian , Ghost , U.S. Agent , Winter Soldier , and Taskmaster . All these characters arebrought together by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine , who seem inThe Falcon and the Winter SoldierandBlack Panther : Wakanda forever and a day .
Valentina is fundamentally a more sinister Nick Fury , bringing together a unequalled group that can fill in missions utilizing unorthodox method . She ’s already established connections with MCU characters , include Yelena , whom she interact with in apost - mention picture fromBlack Widow . The picture fix up Yelena ’s commission forHawkeye , where she is determined to kill Clint after being convinced he killed Natasha Romanov inAvengers : Endgame . While this conflict is resolved inHawkeye , an important interrogation from this scene has not been answered and could be addressed inThunderbolts .
The original Thunderbolts ending would have been quite shocking , but it would have repeated a divisive MCU destruction with an original Avenger .
Thunderbolts Can Explain Why Valentina Allegra de Fontaine Wanted To Kill Hawkeye
Valentina is still a mysterious part within the MCU . While she was reveal as the managing director of the CIA inWakanda everlastingly , her motives are more than just protecting the United States . InBlack Widow , Valentina order Yelena to kill Hawkeye , tell her that he killed Black Widow . It ’s reveal inHawkeyethat Valentina was more of a messenger as Eleanor Bishop hired Yelena , but Valentina was still comfortable tell an bravo to stamp out an Avenger , which suggests there is something more sinister to her character .
Since Valentina will presumptively have her biggest role yet inThunderbolts , the MCU has the hazard to tell audiences more about her yesteryear and how she develop her current position . This could admit a retiring encounter with Hawkeye that caused her to grow contempt toward him . Clint also became Roninduring the five year betweenInfinity WarandEndgame , where he almost turned into a villain , fulfilling his mission with more destruction and fury . There could be an interesting intellect why Valentina hat Clint , and it would also allowThunderboltsto expand her character .
The Mission Must Be Dire If Yelena Is Willing To Work For Valentina Again
Yelena ’s inclusion inThunderboltsmeans she accepts whatever military mission Valentina is project to her , but there must be mountain of tenseness between the two . After being fake into almost belt down Clint , Yelena has to have trustfulness issues with Valentina and is initially hesitant to mould for her . However , the mission must be so dire that Yelena ca n’t turn down . Red Guardian is also on the team , so perhaps he avail convince Yelena to get together the team . If the rumour are true that the mission will affect Sentry , the Thunderbolts will demand all the help they can get .
