Thunderbolts*

Warning ! This post contains SPOILERS for Marvel ’s ThunderboltsOn the one deal , I ’m excited about theMCU’s"New Avengers " discover inThunderboltsand what it think of for the time to come . However , I still think that Sam Wilson merit better . After all , it ’s well-to-do to contend that the fresh Captain America definitely just had his " thunder " stolen .

InThunderbolts*,Yelena Belova , Bucky Barnes , John Walker , Red Guardian , Ghost , and Bob Reynolds aka Sentry all come together as a brand - new squad of heroes . However , the surprise twist at the end ofThunderbolts*revealed that this Modern team will be going by another name entirely : The New Avengers . continue that in mind , it does feel as thoughThunderbolts'“disrespect " towards Sam Wilson ’s Captain America and his own Avengers goal will become a key plot peak in the MCU ’s future .

Man, I Was Not Expecting Thunderbolts* To Disrespect Sam Wilson’s Avengers

It’s Teased That Captain America Already Has An Opposing Team of Heroes

As see at the end ofThunderbolts * , Val hold a press group discussion to declare that the thunderclap are actually her New Avengers . This earmark Val to publicly save face follow the Void ’s attack on New York , as well as hold open her own skin from the Thunderbolts themselves . However , the fresh arranging conversely work in the Thunderbolts / New Avengers ' favor too , and Yelena say as much when she leans in to distinguish Val that they " own " her now .

sure enough enough , the terminal post - credits view forThunderbolts*features the New Avengers operating out of the Watchtower / Avengers tower 14 months later . show with an all - new Avengers " A " logotype , new uniform , a state - of - the - artistry AI system , and even jets at their electric pig , all these new bells and whistle are presumably all at the disbursement of Val and O.X.E Group . However , the post - credits scene also confirms that Sam Wilson ’s Captain America is none too happy about the " New Avengers " .

As such , it ’s pretty surprising that the very next MCU movie released only a few months afterBrave New Worldhas debuted a whole new Avengers squad , without even fully confirm the member of Captain America ’s team .

The close ofCaptain America : Brave New Worldsaw Sam announce that he was planning to reassemble the Avengers . As such , it ’s reasonably surprising that the very next MCU motion picture released only a few month afterBrave New Worldhas debuted a whole new Avengers team , without even fully confirming the members of Captain America ’s team . Now , that break will more than likely be save forAvengers : Doomsdayin 2026 .

New Avengers: Thunderbolts' Post-Credits Scene Sets Up Some MCU Antipathy

Sam and Yelena’s Teams Might Not Get Along Very Well

As revealed in the finalThunderbolts*post - credits scene , Bucky confirms that he ’d of late blab to Sam , and that Captain America is not happy about their rival squad of Avengers . besides , Yelena confirms that Wilson even went so far as to have the " Avengers " name copyrighted . As a fun bit of marketing , real - life social medium pages for The Avengers have recently received copyright marksahead of their names .

Marvel ’s Thunderbolts * features an impressive solicitation of Easter egg , references , and connectedness to both the comedian and the greater MCU .

retain all of this in judgement , it stands to rationality that the tension between Captain America ’s Avengers and the New Avengers will likely be an on-going rivalry in the MCU . similarly , they might not get along very well in upcoming crosswalk likeAvengers : DoomsdayorAvengers : hole-and-corner Wars . That say , have more than one Avengers team will probably end up being a major benefit once Doctor Doom come out as the next major threat to the MCU and the multiverse at big .

Multiple Teams of Avengers Can Only Be Good For Doomsday

Splitting Up MCU Teams Among Various Goals

Even if Sam Wilson is n’t a fan of the evident name thieving , more MCU teams work together can only be good forAvengers : Doomsdayand beyond . More team mean more chance to divide and conquer , split up in answer to various goals similar to what ’s get wind inInfinity WarandEndgame . Not only is it a proficient narrative gadget that allows audiences to concentre on a handful of heroes at a time until the final act , but it undoubtedly help with production schedules too .

In total , it ’s been confirmed by Kevin Feige thatDoomsdayandSecret Warswill see the Avengers , Thunderbolts / New Avengers , X - homo , and Fantastic Four all coming together to stop Doctor Doom . One can imagine thatKamala Khan and Kate Bishop ’s Young Avengers / Championsmight be featured as well . At any rate , some pre - existent animosity between team like the Avengers and New Avengers will serve excuse some of the aforementioned splitting up that will likely pass inDoomsday .

Thunderbolts*is now act in theaters from Marvel Studios .
