What The New Thunderbolts* Trailer Means
Thunderbolts* Promises To Be Very Character-Focused
The newThunderboltstrailer places special emphasis onThunderbolts' cast and crew, as well as on the most extravagant aspects of its plot. The trailer’s focus on the talent’s body of work is unprecedented. Normally, movie trailers follow a template along the lines of"from the director of (movie)“or"from the studio who brought you…”, but rarely do they list movies without specific names attached to them. Clearly,the new trailer intends to helpThunderboltsstand apart from other MCU projects by adding an air of prestige to its marketing. The fact that all movies mentioned in theThunderboltstrailer are A24 titles is the cherry on top.
I Desperately Want The Marvel Theory That Ties Avengers: Doomsday & Thunderbolts* Together By Having Half Of The MCU’s Heroes Disappear To Be True
One line in the Thunderbolts* trailer has spawned a wild theory that connects the team to the Avengers, but it could actually be what the MCU needs.
TheThunderboltstrailer features pretty little action. Instead, it teases the main character’s most dramatic moments and some scenes that may only make sense to audiences whenThunderboltshits theaters in May 2025. Yelena Belova’s clone, the person in the chicken costume, and the ghost-like entity in the newThunderbolts*trailer support the theory that Bob will not only transform into the powerful Sentry, but will also let out Sentry’s darker alter ego — the Void, which may possess paranormal abilities that mess with the Thunderbolts' perception of reality.
Our Take On The New Thunderbolts* Trailer
Thunderbolts* Is Trying New Things For Marvel
Marvel’s approach to the newThunderbolts*trailer provides the upcoming movie with a fresh spin on its marketing. The new trailer is only one of many, but it proves that superhero blockbusters can still try new things at this point. It also suggests that Lewis Pullman’s Sentry will be an antagonist like no other, and poses the question of how the Thunderbolts could possibly defeat a villain as creatively powerful as Sentry and his darker half.
