The film of the moment is ‘Thunderbolts*’, the new Marvel adventure that serves to close phase 5 of its superhero universe. It is true that at the box office they have not started as well as expected, but the audience is liking much more than ‘Captain America 4’, so it is possible that you better stand in cinemas. In addition, there is another reason why you are talking about: Why does your title have an asterisk?
Eye with spoilers from the film from now on
The truth is that this asterisk was not initially in the title, but joined it without giving more details about it when the filming of ‘Thundolts*’ was already underway. Now the doubt has finally been resolved, as its director Jake Schreier He has broken his silence about it in an interview with Phase Hero in which he has clarified that the turn of the new avengers was in the script from the first moment:
‘Falcon and the winter soldier’ shows that a more adult MCU is possible
The official explanation
From the moment I presented the movie, that was the end, and the script was very different from the one we ended up doing. But from the first draft I read, he remained. All we had to do was that Val presented them like this. So I think it was part of my last presentation meeting, and I said: “I think it would be fun to make an advertisement where we put an asterisk in the title, and we say until we can think of something better.”
Obviously, one thing is to propose such an idea and another that in Marvel they accept it, but this time It was received with enthusiasm and decided to enhance it to the maximum:
Once again, we must recognize that Kevin already loved them, got to work and dedicated themselves to marketing. I remember that I introduced myself on the day of the photo shoot, which takes place during filming, the weekend, and all the actors are going to take the photos for the posters and the first concepts. I went and told myself: “Oh, you are really using that asterisk, eh? Yes, I hope this works.
The change of title does not come to specify, but Schreier is still satisfiedgiven that “I feel, in a strange way, that our final essentially honors that idea, which is as if they ended in that position, and perhaps they are not the masters of evil, but they are people who really do not belong to this tower. Maybe they could earn that right, but it will be an uncomfortable adjustment with them in the face of what they become the front“.
Mystery resolved, which began being a sympathetic idea ended up becoming a distinctive feature and very connected to what the film counts. Now There will be what these new avengers can contribute (or avengerz …) In the future of this multimillionaire franchise.
