Since the Title of Thunderbolts The fans appeared with an asterisk began to wonder what it would mean. At first it seemed to indicate that to future team He did not like the name that put them Red Guardian. In the movie that shows, but there is more, and you have probably seen it online thanks to the fans and also, a Marvel (A source close to the project told IO9 that revelation would not be permanent and only a marketing maneuver so that the asterisk had importance).
After saving Bob of the almighty empty, the team finds Val, the woman responsible for the recent New York Caoas. They come to catch her or kill her, but they enter the line of vision of the press that Val summoned to be able to announce them as the new avengers, something that highlights the titles of the end, where Thunderbolts passes to New Avengerswith new logo and the theme of Alan Silvestri.
Who are the new Avengers? Created in January 2005 by Rian Michael Bendis and David Finch, the team was formed after the story of Avengers Disassembled of 2004 when Electro attacks The Raft prison, of Supervillans. Already in the place, Spider-Woman, Daredevil and Luke Cagge come together with Captain America, Ironman, Sentry and Spider-Man to stop the disturbances. Forty -two prisoners escape and the heroes – less Daredevil and Sentry – form a new team and go after the missing villains. Wolverine joins them shortly after. The new Avengers were a first team in the mid -2000s and passed through the scarlet witch, the house of M de Magneto, the civil war of the superheroes, the invasion of the skrulls to the earth and the emergence of the Dark Avengers.
Different appearances
From the initial version of Bendis and Finch there have been some iterations of the new Avengers and the cast of Thunderbolts He was part of the teams at some point in his individual stories. Bob/Sentry, Bucky and Mel, Assistant of Val – aka Songbird – have been new Avengers a handful of times while Yelena, Red Guardian Us Agent, Ghost and Taskmaster were at least twice in the Thunderbolts.
The new Avengers in the comics in general joined by chance but the Thunderbolts traditionally join with a specific purpose (on one of the most recent occasions, to kill Red Skull). In the movie there is a bit of the two things: Val calls Walker, Yelena, Ghost and Taskmaster to his complex to kill each other and solve his things, and then continue together to save Bob from his claws and conversion to Sentry. By pretending to be superhero, these Thunderbolts are more similar to the central concepts of villains of the comics group, which play to be good for committing crimes, and then they are villains who are redeemed by doing heroic things.
What is the purpose of the new Avengers in the MCU? Val mentions sometimes in the film that a new team of superheroes is needed to protect the USA although by the time the post-crédito scene arrives they seem to have lost the favor of the public and are in the middle of a brand of brands with the current captain America Sam Wilson. Sam does not appear but apparently has his own Avengers team, which at the moment would only seem to include his protected Joaquin Torres as the new Falcon. But all this has to wait because first they seem to find out that a rocket is coming to the earth with the fantastic four, which prepares the way for the two teams to be in Avengers: Doomsday.
What will come
Both Doomsday Like its sequel Secret Wars They would be incorporating threads of the event focused on the 2015 Multiverse by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic. The new Avengers also had participation in that: the book relaunched in 2013, by Hickman, Steeve Epting and Mike Deodato, was actually about the Illuminati,, dedicated to stop multiversal incinar. (Reed Richards, Beast, Professor X and Namor were part of that team and all appear in Doomsday). During the story that leads to Secret Wars The then Member of Avengers, Sunspot, created his own team of new Avengers to take care of that danger and finish the war between the Avengers core team and the Illuminati.
After the reborn Marvel universe after Secret Warsthe new Avengers changed brand and were the US Avengers in 2017-2018 thanks to the Ewing and Paco Medina, which did not appear again. But with the insistence of Val of having a team focused on the USA. The film seems to have in its DNA the spirit of that team derived from the previous one.
Where will the new Avengers go after Doomsday It is something that will be seen over the years. For now, Val has the team he had promised and the new Avengers have another chance, as they wanted, and also have an advantage over Val, just in case.
