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).
