Move Over, Dark Avengers—Is ‘Thunderbolts*’ Secretly Paving the Way for the Secret Avengers?

by

As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the Marvel Comics Universe, I can confidently say that the upcoming MCU movie, Thunderbolts, is shaping up to be nothing short of spectacular! The team composition and character lineup are reminiscent of a well-crafted RPG game expansion pack, with a mix of familiar faces and newcomers that promise an exciting narrative.

Thunderbolts” is gearing up to be among the most thrilling upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films. This movie will present a group of reformed villains and morally ambiguous characters, much like DC’s “Suicide Squad“, who are now striving for redemption. Additionally, it will feature Sentry, one of Marvel’s strongest personalities, portrayed by Lewis Pullman.

It’s confirmed that many of our team members are reprising their roles: David Harbour takes on Red Guardian again, Hannah John-Kamen is back as Ghost, Sebastian Stan continues as Bucky Barnes, and Wyatt Russell returns as U.S. Agent. Olga Kurylenko is set to return as Taskmaster, while Florence Pugh will reappear as Yelena Belova, the latest incarnation of Black Widow.

Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, currently holds the position of team leader and is the new owner of Avengers Tower. It’s speculated that this tower might serve as Sentry’s future command center.

Ever since I’ve been a comics enthusiast, there’s been a persistent buzz among us fans that Thunderbolts could potentially unveil the Dark Avengers. In the comic book world, the Dark Avengers are a team of characters who, while resembling our beloved heroes, possess darker motivations and self-serving goals. Unlike their counterparts, the Secret Avengers, who work covertly for the greater good, the Dark Avengers operate with a far more sinister agenda.

Could it be possible that the film is laying the groundwork for the clandestine team known as the Secret Avengers? The proposed roster seems to lend credence to this idea. Traditionally headed by Captain America, the Secret Avengers boast operatives such as Black Widow, War Machine, and Valkyrie, in addition to lesser-known but indispensable figures like Ant-Man and Moon Knight, whose stealth and psychological skills make them invaluable assets.

It appears that most members of the Secret Avengers team are expected to shine brightly in upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects.

Yelena Belova assumes the identity of Black Widow, much as Sam Wilson became Captain America. The upcoming film featuring War Machine, titled “Armor Wars“, has raised some troubling questions recently.

Valkyrie made an appearance in the movie “The Marvels,”, and although there’s been talk about her future, she continues to rule as the King of Asgard, and it seems that position is secure for now. There are predictions that “Moon Knight” and “Hawkeye” will have another season, and there’s even speculation that Moon Knight might take on a significant role in a potential “Midnight Sons” venture.

In “The Marvels,” there were subtle hints about Beast’s potential return, implying he might reappear, given that his realm could eventually merge with Earth-616. Similarly, there are whispers and rumors suggesting Agent Venom, a key team member, may make an appearance in the MCU, as speculation mounts that Venom will cross over into the cinematic universe.

To sum up, the advent of X-Men, as seen in Deadpool and Wolverine, marks the dawning of the mutant age within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as stated by Kevin Feige. Historically, The Secret Avengers have served as intermediaries to manage sensitive issues concerning mutants, frequently working to avert potential public discord.

It’s clear that they would make an excellent addition to the current Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), given that many of their members are already active. All they need is a fresh set of characters to join them.
