I Think Marvel’s Thunderbolts Is Everything the MCU Needs to Be Going Forward
The 36th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) showcases an exceptional ensemble cast and a deeply moving narrative as it unfolds the journey of six seemingly misdirected individuals who discover redemption through their membership in a superhero squad. Known as the New Avengers by the film’s end, the Thunderbolts present a distinct and touching chapter in the MCU saga. In spite of mediocre box-office earnings, Thunderbolts won over general audiences and set a new record for the MCU by achieving an 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes since Spider-Man: No Way Home, which was released in 2021. I believe that Thunderbolts provides an excellent roadmap for the future movies of the MCU, and the franchise should strive to recreate the elements that contributed to its success.
