5 Ways Thunderbolts* Sets Up Avengers: Doomsday

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a series of extraordinary events, or perhaps you could call them thunderous encounters, united Yelena Belova (played by Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour), Ava Starr (Hannah John-Kamen), and John Walker (Wyatt Russell). These former villains and antiheroes joined forces to combat Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and rescue Robert Reynolds (Lewis Pullman) from his malevolent persona. As they evolved into the New Avengers, these freshly minted superheroes have all been verified to reappear in Avengers: Doomsday. The events of Thunderbolts* serve as an ideal foundation for the grand crossover of Phase 6.
