New Avengers: Doomsday Rumor May Be Good News for a Marvel Fan-Favorite
In earlier speculations, it was proposed that Yelena might join Sam Wilson’s officially recognized Avengers team for the film titled “Doomsday.” This potential move would have weakened the empowering finale of “Thunderbolts,” where the team uncovered their mission was a trap and managed to outsmart their manipulative superior, Director de Fontaine. In that movie, Val grabbed the spotlight by announcing them as the “New Avengers” publicly, but the film concluded with the team holding significant power over her, ensuring their autonomy. Combining forces with Sam’s group would have felt like a storytelling regression, essentially erasing the independence they had struggled so much to achieve. This apprehension was further fueled by the post-credits scene of “Thunderbolts,” which hinted at Sam Wilson pursuing legal action to secure the “Avengers” name, potentially leading to a confrontation between the two heroic groups.
