After hearing about the film in drips and drabs after the Comic-Con International: San Diego and even seeing “leaked” photos and super brief looks, we now have the teaser trailer coming straight from Marvel. You can enjoy the trailer down below and also see some premise, casting and art before I offer up my own editorial viewpoints. Dig in.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Before I get into the whole opinion thing I will say that this teaser looks pretty good and I know that I’ve said time and time again that I don’t like to comment in on the teasers but I did enjoy this one and was a big fan of the “Thunderbolts” comic series when it first launched way back when. Now onto the gripes because I had an entirely different hope for this one. In the comics The Thunderbolts were led by Baron Zemo who went by Citizen V in the series along with other Super Villains who were seeking redemption. This team is a mix of both villains and I guess the best term would be anti-heroes. I am curious and I will definitely be seeing this one in the theater when it rolls around next summer. That’s all I have for this one so I will wrap it up and ask you all to chime in if you like. It’s always great to hear what folks in the readership are thinking when we post this stuff. Take care until next time which is always soon here at the Media Command HQ based on how much there always is to do. See you then, stay safe out there.
