Thunderbolts*, with an asterisk, is an enormous swing for the MCU. Notably contemplating that the film is definitely an Avengers film in disguise, however that includes anti-heroes turned heroes in Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, aka The Winter Soldier, Ghost, Crimson Guardian, U.S. Agent aka John Walker, and Taskmaster. By the point the film ends, the asterisk is gone and the identify is now not Thunderbolts, however New Avengers, courtesy of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.
However your complete staff of superheroes doesn’t fairly make it to the top of the film. And it’s laborious to really name this ragtag group of heroes a staff, although they change into one thing like that by the top of the film, and choose up another member alongside the best way, Bob. And by Bob, we imply each Sentry and The Void. It’s difficult. Bob is each a member of the staff and the antagonist of the film, not that he means to be. However he’s additionally a reasonably good man!
Manner earlier than all of that occurs, nevertheless, all the members of this staff are working for Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who’s the Director of the CIA at this level. Why not? Stranger issues have occurred. She’s below Congressional investigation, so she’s making an attempt to eliminate all of the proof about all of the soiled stuff she’s completed. That proof contains the folks doing her bidding. So, she sends them to kill one another at a distant black web site.
However what occurs as soon as the staff will get there? Does Taskmaster actually die in Thunderbolts*?
Does Taskmaster actually die in Thunderbolts*?
Sure, Taskmaster actually does die in Thunderbolts* and fairly early on too. Followers had predicted this is able to be the case as there wasn’t a lot of her within the trailers, even if she was featured in the principle poster and was imagined to be one of many leads. So sure, these photos of Taskmaster within the remaining battle? Undoubtedly photoshopped and simply Marvel making an attempt to throw us off, identical to they did with the photoshopped Hulk within the Infinity Warfare trailer, all these years in the past. By no means belief Marvel publicity supplies.
After Valentina Allegra de Fontaine sends Yelena Belova, Ghost, Crimson Guardian, John Walker, and Taskmaster to kill one another, they find yourself trapped in a vault with Bob, aka Sentry. At that time, they don’t understand Bob has powers, and to be truthful, Bob additionally doesn’t understand he has powers. However at first, they’re all making an attempt to satisfy their task, which is to kill one another. Seems the one one who really achieves it’s Ghost, who does really kill Taskmaster.
The remainder just about fail, which is an efficient factor, as they should work collectively alongside Bob to flee, after which they should work collectively alongside Bucky and Crimson Guardian, Yelena’s dad, to avoid wasting Bob, and whereas they’re at it, save New York, once more. There’s really nothing extra harmful than residing in New York within the MCU.
By the top of the film, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, in an try to keep away from any oversight, traps the staff into giving a press convention and declaring themselves the New Avengers. This kinda flies within the face of Sam Wilson’s plans to reform the Avengers from the top of Captain America: Courageous New World, so Sam isn’t precisely pleased along with his good friend Bucky. Oh, and the ultimate post-credits scene exhibits the Improbable 4 are coming. Simply one other day within the Marvel universe.
