Why Thunderbolts becoming The New Avengers

⚡ Thunderbolts*: The New Avengers

Hey everyone, if you're like me and can't get enough of the MCU, then Thunderbolts* is probably keeping you up at night with excitement. This upcoming flick (slated for 2025) is basically Marvel's way of saying, "What if the Avengers were a bunch of reformed baddies who might stab each other in the back?" It's got that gritty, anti-hero vibe, and honestly, I think it's going to fill the massive shoes left by the original team after Endgame. Directed by Jake Schreier, with a cast that's stacked—Florence Pugh as Yelena, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, David Harbour bringing the laughs as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell's intense U.S. Agent, plus Olga Kurylenko's Taskmaster, Hannah John-Kamen's Ghost, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus scheming as Valentina. This team's not your classic do-gooders; they're the ones the government calls when things get messy.

How Thunderbolts* Came Together

The idea pulls straight from the comics, where a squad of villains pretends to be heroes to dodge jail time. In the MCU, Valentina's pulling the strings, recruiting these misfits for black-ops stuff the Avengers wouldn't touch. Yelena's still mourning her sister, Bucky's trying to shake off his Winter Soldier past, U.S. Agent's got that aggressive edge, Ghost phases through walls like it's nothing, Taskmaster copies moves on the fly, and Red Guardian? He's like a Russian Captain America who's seen better days. It's all about forced teamwork, betrayals, and maybe a little redemption along the way. Perfect setup for the post-Endgame chaos with Kang and Doom lurking.

Why They're the New Avengers (In My Opinion)

Look, the Avengers are kinda broken right now—half dead, half retired, and the multiverse is cracking open. Thunderbolts* steps in as these reluctant saviors, proving that even screw-ups can save the day. Their story's got heart: second chances, loyalty tests, and that blurry hero-villain line. I mean, after watching the trailers and teasers, it feels like Marvel's evolving the formula. No capes, just raw survival. If they pull off the team-up right, this could be the spark for the next big Avengers movie.

"In a world without heroes, the villains might just have to do." – Something I made up, but it fits, right?

Epic Fight Clips: Thunderbolts Members in Action

Thunderbolts* isn't out yet, so no full team fights, but these clips from their solo spots show why this crew's gonna be explosive. I've picked four that get my blood pumping—think brutal hand-to-hand, super-serum clashes, and some wild powers. Watch 'em and imagine the chaos when they finally assemble.

1. Thunderbolts Member first apprance

This rooftop brawl is pure fire—Yelena's flips and gadgets vs. Taskmaster's mimicry. It's the kind of tension that'll define Thunderbolts* team dynamics. Love how Yelena doesn't back down; she's got that Black Widow grit.

2. Bucky Entrance

Super-soldier vs. super-soldier—flagsmashed and all. This fight's got everything: rage, betrayal, and those metal arms clanging. Bucky's arc here screams "Thunderbolts material," and pairing him with U.S. Agent? Chef's kiss for future beef.

3. Ghost First Blood [that one cool]

Ghost's glitchy powers make her untouchable—literally. This scene's chaotic with her zipping around, and I can't wait to see how she fits into Thunderbolts*' stealth ops. It's sneaky, it's scary, and it's super cool.

4. First Sentry Fight

The way he says "you can call me the sentry" is so low key badass, like they have no idea just how powerful he is only to find out he is a wrecking machine..

Wrapping It Up

Thunderbolts* feels like the MCU's big pivot—darker, funnier, and way more unpredictable. If they nail the character beats, this team's not just surviving the multiverse mess; they're owning it. Can't wait for 2025. What do you think—will they outshine the old Avengers? Drop your thoughts below if you're reading this on the blog!
