While the success of Captain America: Brave New World remains uncertain, early buzz suggests that Thunderbolts* could be a standout hit as the MCU builds toward its major Avengers installments.

In summary, Thunderbolts* is shaping up to be an exciting and fan-pleasing movie, delivering the character depth audiences are craving alongside epic action sequences. Based on available information—including trailers, cast insights, and promotional material—this aligns well with expectations.
Yelena will take center stage, which makes sense as Marvel seems to be positioning her as the “next Scarlett Johansson,” while fans can also look forward to more dynamic action from Ghost, a standout character.
Additionally, Sentry’s costume will stay true to the comics, and the inclusion of the Void is a thrilling development that many fans have speculated about and are eager to see brought to life.
Ryan has also stated that Sentry will be portrayed as immensely powerful and confirmed that Hulk will not appear in the film. However, several questions remain unanswered, such as whether Rachel Weisz will reprise her role or what part Laurence Fishburne might play in the story.
Overall, the film has drawn comparisons to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, widely regarded as one of Marvel’s best sequels. If this comparison holds true, Thunderbolts* could prove to be an outstanding addition to the MCU. Here’s how fans are reacting to the rumors:
Hope the sentry doesn't die it will be a total waste, the only option I see is that the sentry fights the void and both stay in the sun.
