by

Although the Russo Brothers are busy with their filming duties, they managed to find time to publicize the MCU’s newest addition: Thunderbolts*. They even hinted at a unique post-credits scene that they directed on the set of the upcoming Avengers movie.

If you haven’t watched Thunderbolts yet, do so right away! The Russo Bros. highly recommend it and even hinted at a special surprise for those who stay until the end of the credits. Moreover, they teased Doomsday and implied that a secret scene filmed by the Russo Bros. on the set of Doomsday is coming up.

On May 2, *Thunderbolts* made its debut in cinemas, accompanied by: a brief scene featuring David Harbour as Red Guardian tucked away amidst the credits, and a more expansive one that unfolded following the conclusion of the main film. The latter was overseen by the Russo Brothers, who depicted the reformed Thunderbolts (now known as the New Avengers) in their headquarters, assessing potential dangers and strategizing a possible confrontation with the original Avengers squad.

Towards the end of the scene, Florence Pugh’s character Yelena Belova brings up a persistent issue in space, followed swiftly by a distress signal originating from a spacecraft adorned with The Fantastic Four’s insignia. This sets up an intriguing hint for an upcoming Marvel production, marking the start of Phase Six in the MCU. Despite being early in its theatrical release, Thunderbolts* has been showing strong performance, particularly against other recent offerings from the MCU. It has garnered praise from critics and has so far earned over $160 million at the box office and counting.
