by

Summary

  • Marvel Studios spoiled Thunderbolts* by revealing most of the team will be in Avengers: Doomsday.
  • Fans speculate Taskmaster won’t survive Thunderbolts* based on trailer evidence.
  • The decision to reveal cast members for Avengers: Doomsday could harm Thunderbolts* box office results.

This week, Marvel Studios unveiled exciting news regarding the cast of Avengers: Endgame. The movie boasts an array of talented actors and iconic characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Notably, some ex-X-Men stars, who’ve been absent from their roles for more than a decade, made surprising appearances.

It’s clear that Marvel Studios is giving their all to ensure the success of Avengers: Doomsday , yet they are simultaneously offering chances for fresh characters. Several actors from the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie will also be featured in this film. Regrettably, the announcement unveiled several major spoilers for that project, leaving many fans disheartened.

Marvel Studios Spoiled Thunderbolts* In Its Own Announcement

The film “Thunderbolts” boasts a terrific ensemble of actors and captivating characters that Marvel Cinatic Universe enthusiasts eagerly anticipate. Yet, the disclosure that most of the crew will appear in “Avengers: Doomsday” has unfortunately taken away some of the movie’s surprise factor. Now, viewers are aware that these characters will make it through, significantly diminishing the tension in the forthcoming action sequences. However, this revelation also hints at one character who seems unlikely to survive “Thunderbolts“: Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster.

There’s been plenty of talk that Taskmaster might not survive the movie Thunderbolts due to his minimal appearance in the film’s trailer. In group scenes, he tends to be absent, suggesting an early exit, and his absence from Avengers: Doomsday doesn’t help dispel those whispers. It seems like a curious choice by Marvel Studios, especially given the excitement surrounding Thunderbolts, as this move has fueled audience expectations about the film’s content.

This Decision Could Hurt Thunderbolts* Box Office Results

The upcoming MCU project, Thunderbolts, is a fresh endeavor, which means there’s inherent risk involved due to slightly decreased interest in the franchise overall. Marvel Studios has assembled an impressive cast for this film, but they must make a concerted effort to market it extensively to ensure its success at the box office. The Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal generated over four million views on its livestream, demonstrating effective promotion for that movie. However, an Avengers project tends to attract fans regardless of promotional efforts. In contrast, Thunderbolts, being a new team and an unfamiliar entity to fans, requires extra effort to make it appealing, as its success depends more on how well it is marketed.

Adding several new cast members to “Avengers: Doomsday” may pique curiosity and make people want to see the movie to learn more about these characters. However, revealing which characters will or won’t survive the film could spoil crucial plot points. Although nothing is certain yet, it’s possible that Taskmaster might end up surviving in a different form, but this speculation has sparked controversy and frustration among fans eagerly anticipating “Thunderbolts.

It’s A Worrying Long-Term Planning Decision

It’s quite unusual that this announcement was made now, as it seems to have spoiled the ending of “Thunderbolts” unnecessarily. Although the cast might be seen filming for “Avengers: Doomsday,” most casual viewers wouldn’t learn about this until Marvel decided to disclose it. This information could have been revealed after “Thunderbolts” was released, which would have been beneficial for that standalone movie. The movie is significant because Marvel plans to form a new team from characters who are either not well-known or lack substantial powers. The positive reception the trailer has received and the fact that Marvel Studios could use a hit make it puzzling why this decision might potentially harm “Thunderbolts” just to generate early buzz for “Avengers: Doomsday.

It’s been widely acknowledged that Marvel Studios has a knack for strategic foresight, which is what led to the creation and success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, the announcement of Avengers: Doomsday seemed to buck this trend, giving off an impression of hasty decision-making without much consideration for its potential effects on other projects and characters. While Thunderbolts* might not be Marvel’s top priority at the moment, given its upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, it deserves the same level of care. This is particularly important considering that Thunderbolts characters are set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, making it crucial for Marvel to generate as much interest in the film as possible.

*Please note that “Thunderbolts” is a fictional team from the Marvel Comics universe, and “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is a hypothetical title for an upcoming Marvel film.
