It was just about a month and a half ago that we got the teaser trailer for “Thunderbolts*” (seen HERE ICYMI) and since its been longer since the “Deadpool & Wolverine” film was released the fans were hungry for some superhero content. Sure the cinemas have been busy with films like “Joker: Folie a Deux” and “Venom: The Last Dance” but those are Warner Brothers and Sony Pictures offerings. I expect a few more clips to come from this one but down below you can see it along with the light premise, expanded casting and artwork.
The Premise: A group of antiheroes goes on missions for the American government.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This really looks like its going to be an action-packed film and I am going to do my best to see it very early in its theatrical run if that is possible when the time rolls around. I mentioned being a fan of the original “Thunderbolts” comic series when it first launched way back when and while I am still a bit miffed about the absence of a character like Citizen V who was really Baron Zemo, I think that they might be onto something with this version. Much like The Avengers, this kind of team can have a rotating cast of members as Marvel Studios keeps on introducing new exciting characters. That’s really all I have to add to the mix so I will wrap it up and ask you all to chime in if you like. I love hearing from the readers when they decide to do so. Sure postings on website content isn’t as prevalent nowadays in comparison to social media but we hope for sure. See you next time, please keep safe out there.
