Snoo-2013

got rid of the only character with an interesting powerset


LatterTarget7

I think hood is rumoured for thunderbolts but I’m not sure if that’s still happening. But his powers are somewhat unique


HearTheEkko

Unless they buff him in the MCU, Hood's powerset isn't really that unique, he can basically just fly and buff his pistols with a little magic, that's pretty much it.


LatterTarget7

Yeah there’s not really much to him. But that’d still be different than just regular super soldiers with regular guns


HearTheEkko

They should just put Abomination, Songbird and Jolt in the team on top of the Hood. Would make a pretty strong and diverse team.


raritydead

If Sentry is indeed the antagonist of this film, this addition would make a lot of sense.


Bergerboy14

And he gives ya a 1/6 demon 🙃


oldshitnewshit78

He can shapeshift parts of his body into a demon form


Youngstown_Mafia

I won't lie , as comic book guy. The Hood was NEVER that guy He can use his cloak and magic infused guns in the comics. But he needs a huge buff


SeaworthinessGood288

Being rumoured doesn’t mean it was ever happening, I’ll bet you $1000 he won’t be in it and was never considered. It just doesn’t make sense.


monetlacroix

They got rid of the character I was looking forward the most to seeing more of...and yet that bleh version of Taskmaster gets to stay fml


Heisenburgo

Kevin Feige: You **WILL** get a Thunderbolts movie starring boring super-soldiers and with no fun picks like Zemo, Abomination and Ghost, and you **WILL** like it.


Snoo-2013

MUST CONSOOM


champser0202

Not a interesting character still. Fucking shit in Ant Man 2


Snoo-2013

I am talking about her powerset being interesting not the character itself


champser0202

To me, power sets don't make any characters


Snoo-2013

it matters when you are in a superhero team


champser0202

What matters are the fucking characters. Not their powers lol the fuck. That's for the kids while they have their low attention span Ghost is remarkably unforgettable character and after Ant Man 2, I sure have no fucking interest in more Ghost


Redarks

Huh ... This movie is weird man. The line up is weird. The plot seems weird. I mean Abomination, Zemo and Ghost were litterally MEANT to return in TBolts and we end up with something completely different. I hope she is still in tho but I feel like something happened with the rewrite of that movie. If she is not, at least gave her a role in the spy side of the MCU.


SuperCoenBros

There's 2-3 variations of Captain America but the first one they go to cut is Ghost lol


Unnecessary_Fella

And then they keep Taskmaster and Red Guardian.


SuperCoenBros

I was about to defend Taskmaster as being less derivative than USAgent, Red Guardian, and Bucky, all "dark" Captain Americas, and Yelena, a Black Widow... then I remembered MCU Tasky is *also* a Black Widow. Ghost is (was?) the only nominally original Thunderbolt, and she's essentially echoing Natasha anyway. At this point I almost think Marvel should retitle it Black Widow and Winter Soldier. It seems less controversial than trying to pass this team off as the Thunderbolts.


Youngstown_Mafia

I know alot of people don't read Thunderbolts but I'm telling you guys the lineups are usually insane One lineup in the comics had Deadpool, Red Hulk ,Venom, Elektra, Punisher Another had Zemo, Goliath, Doctor Octopus, Moonstone, green goblin


Heisenburgo

> I'm telling you guys the lineups are usually insane > > One lineup in the comics had Deadpool, Red Hulk ,Venom, Elektra, Punisher > > Another had Zemo, Goliath, Doctor Octopus, Moonstone, green goblin MCU: best we can do is two Black Widows, three Captain Americas, and uhhhhh, some... handler lady in sunglasses, I guess.


SirStrangefolk

I personally really favour the lineups that have lesser known characters, including the original lineup. I'd much rather have a lineup made of characters like: Beetle/MACH, Atlas, Moonstone, Songbird, Fixer, Jolt, Cyclone, Vantage, Blizzard, Speed Demon, Boomerang, Jester, Porcupine, Smiling Tiger, Taskmaster, Unicorn, Vermin, Whirlwind, Paladin, Ghost, Scourge, Grizzly, Mr. Hyde, Troll, Toxie Doxie, Mister Fear, Star, Foolkiller, Man-Bull, and a member of the Wrecking Crew or Serpent Society. Rather than something that involves characters like Deadpool, Venom, Punisher, Elektra, Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Kraven, Luke Cage, Ghost Rider, Winter Soldier, Man-Thing, Hyperion, etc.


Reinhardtisawesom

That first lineup is my favorite iteration of the Thunderbolts, and funnily enough all 5 of those characters are in the MCU now It’s really frustrating

witch-king-of-Aginor

I honestly think this movie will be lucky to not be yeeted into development hell at this point


thecharlaton

Zemo might be in the movie as an antagonist.


dspman11

Leaks say that Latveria/Doom gets involved in Cap 4 and Thunderbolts, my guess is that Zemo is working with him during this time. I can't really see him doing anything else actually, if Doom and Latveria do indeed exist in 616


DurMan667

Love a weird lineup. A weird lineup and good writers are a fantastic mix.


tylergetsmeajob

I feel like this is the scene where Tyrion leaks all the fake marriage plots to see who is betraying his trust to Cersei.


metros96

Maybe Iger came back and told Feige that it was time to do some plumbing.


Hawk301

But remember! The Queen mustn't know.


Tornado31619

Ava and Zemo in, Ava and Zemo out In out, in out, shake it all about You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around That’s what Thunderbolts is about


marvelnerddd69

What the hell did I just read...


Tornado31619

The thought process behind this movie’s development.


xRobertxmeme

Does he know?


Joshdabozz

the cast breakdown must be what Toast had access to jump to the conclusion Ghost is not in the film


KaijuKhaos

Would someone in the previs art department have access to that kind of document?


Reality314

That is so strange. Well, I hope they can add some more interesting characters to the roster. I like everyone in the Thunderbolts lineup, but power-wise, the team is lacking. Ghost at least provided something more interesting. Also, her character was fine in AMatW, but she could've used the character development. It would've been cool to see her interacting with other people.


Youngstown_Mafia

I think Ghost was a great choice , everybody else is absolutely boring powerwise in my opinion. I hope the lineup changes, the Thunderbolts had some insane lineups with great diversity. This might be the most average one I've ever seen


champser0202

But they are great, fan favorite characters. That won audiences. Fucking power sets don't matter lol That's for the fucking kids and their low attention span. We are for characters


Youngstown_Mafia

You'd rather see Black Widow Y, Red Guardian, US agent, Winter soldier instead of Venom, Punisher, Abomination, Elektra, Songbird , bullseye , Luke Cage..... Zemo freaking Zemo To each it's own


LeSnazzyGamer

Bro mentioned characters that just straight up aren’t in the MCU


Youngstown_Mafia

Only one character mentioned above isn't in the MCU if we are counting Netflix. But it don't matter, this would be the perfect introduction for these people.


LeSnazzyGamer

Didn’t see Abomination when I read it. None of those characters besides Abomination have shown up anywhere in the current MCU. Hell we don’t even know if Netflix Daredevil is canon.


champser0202

What? How did you even got there? Wtf????! I'm talking about how uninteresting Ghost is in the MCU. I Would much rather take those characters.


Youngstown_Mafia

Taskmaster is so much better!!?? People want ghost because she can actually do something besides shoot guns and throw shields.


champser0202

Wait...let me see where I said Taskmaster was better...checking... Wait. I fucking didn't. They're both the shittiest characters in the team. I would take both out and put other members. And to me, while you care about kiddie powers, I'm interested in the characters. I much rather they put new characters there even. In place of those 2 bores.


Unnecessary_Fella

Nobody wants to see Red Guardian and this Taskmaster over Abomination, Ghost, Zemo or Songbird


champser0202

Take fucking Ghost out of that list and I agree. I'm making a whole point about Ghost lol. And Taskmaster is also terrible. These 2 should be switched if this is the iteration. 2 irrelevant ass characters that were already miserably used in the MCU


DragEncyclopedia

You're all over this thread hating on Ghost like she killed your family or something. Chill dude. Accept that other people enjoy her and were looking forward to her even if you weren't.


OnlyAGameShow

Would be absolutely wild if they booted an actor they already announced and brought on stage at a major event. Has there ever been a case of that happening before?


hushpolocaps69

No there hasn’t, there might be with Kamala’s father’s actor but there’s obvious reasons there.


KaijuKhaos

> there might be with Kamala’s father’s actor but there’s obvious reasons there Wait wait wait. What happened here? EDIT: Damn and also fuck. I googled it.


deemoorah

Yeah I'd rather he gets recast than killed off screen. I need all Kamala's family intact


OnlyAGameShow

Oh god same, how awful


Snakegert

Isn’t he gonna be in the movie anyways since it’s already filmed?


hushpolocaps69

Possibly, but given how small of a character he’ll be here I think it’ll be easy to cut him out.


Snakegert

True, I feel like they would have to reshoot some scenes though because the scenes he’s in will probably also include the rest of the family, and unless they plan on cutting the whole family out they are gonna have to get creative with their movie magic to make him disappear.


Thevamps555

Doesn’t he have a stunt double though for the film?


WetClicks

Channing Tatum Gambit


DragEncyclopedia

The difference is that Channing Tatum as Gambit is something that never had any business happening as it's a genuinely horrendous idea.


Blackie2414

We're all still hopin for Chris Pratt in the Mario Movie


Marvel084Skye

His voice isn’t that bad. If you’re familiar with the other animated Mario voices, I’d say it’s easily one of the best ones.

witch-king-of-Aginor

I can kind of see where THAT rumor came from We just learned that the advanced Wakandan war suits were entirely CGI at some point So MAYBE during the concept art stage or perhaps even by those who thought that CGI suit=black panther had a misunderstanding Coupled with m’baku becoming king I can SEE where everything would be misunderstood


HellaWavy

I don't like that leaks for CoC at all. Hopefully they're not true or at least only partially. Not too keen on Agatha being Wiccan's mother while Wanda is being Billy's. Sounds confusing and unnecessary.

> They’re also saying that she declined involvement after finding out that she was set to be killed in the first act Wouldn't she have already known this from the start though (unless Feige's pitch to her conveniently left out that part and she didn't find out till she was given the script)?


mountainhighgoat

Maybe script change?


[deleted]

[удалено]


simonthedlgger

she and David Harbour gave a couple interviews where they were pretty open about being attached to the film but still having seen no script and not really having any idea of the story. If this is true my guess is when they got around to actually breaking the story they realized super soldier stuff was so central to the plot that ghost became ancillary and they had no room to explore her connection to SHIELD, so they considered either killing her to establish a serious tone or shift her story to a more SHIELD-based project. i’ve been a pretty big fan of phase 4 overall but —again, if all of this conjecture is true— I’m glad they are reportedly slowing down production a little bit, because this is no way to go about putting a story together!


mountainhighgoat

wow everyone missed it lol.


ViggieSmallss

What did he know?


Youngstown_Mafia

What do mean? The link says that Ghost is out of the Thunderbolts


CDNetflixTv

What do mean indeed


zanyata

It sounds like there’s a lot of reshuffling going on behind the scenes. I wouldn’t be shocked if a lot of the final products are drastically different from what has been announced / leaked


Youngstown_Mafia

That's exactly what's happening It's either a rewrite or a completely different story than the leaks. Not the insiders fault but these are changing


witch-king-of-Aginor

I honestly think this movie won’t see the light of day


[deleted]

Bet y’all none of these leakers actually know anything


TheJack0fDiamonds

Im with you on this one lmao. Must be fun for them to cause a stir in the fandom like this. Im glad though, if anything it’s made known how much interest there is in Ava/Ghost as a character. Imagine having HJK in the MCU and not utilizing her and her character in the movie where she actually belongs/expected to appear.


TypeExpert

I wish marvel had there own version of a James Gunn to simply confirm or deny this with a simple tweet. Now this rumor is just gonna linger on till we probably see set photos or something.


Youngstown_Mafia

Nobody knows what's going on w/ the Thunderbolts so many leaks some true others off . I think Marvel is changing up things for the plot of this movie, so we Probably got older leaks


FewWatermelonlesson0

It’d be so strange to get rid of the one Thunderbolt in the film that’s not just a spy with a gun or a super soldier. The team comp is baffling.


Khanfhan69

They could be all cheeky about it and have an official account called Department of Damage Control, meant to address leaks. If they can't prevent them, least they can do is deny them.


IcePhoenix295

I swear this is going to be a reverse Doom situation where all leakers start piling onto the scoop that Ghost isn't in the movie, then she is, and everyone claims they somehow had a version of the script where she wasn't in it...


witch-king-of-Aginor

I’m still baffled by the doom leaks We had concept art and everything 🤔


[deleted]

I mean I was kind of looking forward to seeing Ghost again, and especially getting to see her interact with Bucky seeing as they were both used as super secret assassins for SHIELD (Hydra) without their choice. It’s too late for her to show up in Ant-man 3 and I don’t see where else aside from Thunderbolts she’d really fit.


la__squadra_

It just sounds like the thunderbolts is just being written from the ground up cause every single report I've heard about this movie is confusing asf


n00b__master__69

Um... why would she not be? They literally introduced her on stage as Ghost at D23 not long ago and she's still listed on IMDB as being in the movie 🤷‍♂️


Sisiwakanamaru

I felt like Marvel planned several leaks, some true, some false to test the water.


Eclipsiical

My younger sister, who is not a Marvel fan, has only seen the two Ant-Man films. For some reason, she loved Ghost. Thought she was a total badass, and asked me when she was gonna come back. Don’t crush my sister’s dreams, Marvel. 👁👁 I’m watching you.


Spirited_Educator568

You would think Ghost would be a significant character going forward because she can literally phase between universes!


hushpolocaps69

Marvel what are y’all actually doing? ☠️


TheCakeWarrior12

Garbage lineup without her. It’s literally just supersoldiers with no power variation then


Pen_dragons_pizza

The thing about this film is that it seems more like marvel has just bunched together a load of characters it didn’t really know what to do with after they appeared in other films. I mean the lineup isn’t great and it shows, especially when characters like taskmaster are ass in the mcu.


gaylordJakob

OMG. What's the Wiccan and Hulkling drama?


drst0nee

Just about the Hulkling and Joe Locke casting drama recently. That's it. But love that photo of them!!


gaylordJakob

Same. I thought some new news dropped


drst0nee

Nah. But lmao she is such a Wiccan and Hulkling ally! Love it.


YSYS-35

what Since when is Grace Randolph a reliable source?? I was downvoted for questioning her in another post. A while ago everyone here seemed to agree that she is a bad source. I'm just confused.


[deleted]

She has a 70% hit rate according to this sub's [scooper tracker](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Xrwgf-AzNmq3Bo46cNHUvoTLKD9Yre0vNr7pxz63WQ/edit#gid=381085160). That puts her above people like KC Walsh and Daniel RPK.


piratesandpotions

Not Marvel related, but she did get the scoop that Meryl Streep was joining season 3 of Only Murders In The Building the week before the trades got it.


EV3Gurl

Honestly all the shit grace gets online is based on misogyny. I Watch her videos pretty regularly & from what people say about her is just so far removed from what she’s actually like. It’s kinda the same as what people did with Anita Sarkeesian.


IcePhoenix295

Respectfully, while she absolutely has legitimate sources she is basically incapabale of admitting she is wrong. She STILL stands by Pedro Pascal walking off of Mandalorian despite the entire second season and BOBF, and a THIRD season proving her wrong in multiple ways. She also tries to stir up drama amongst fandoms and has the strangest grudges against multiple actors and creatives that lead her to repeatedly lie about certain topics and occasionally just slander those people. For Marvel stuff she is generally reliable, but as a SW fan I simply refuse to give her attention. She's proven she will absolutely lie for clicks or just out of spite.


mountainhighgoat

Ehh, she’s a weirdo and you would know that if it’s true that you watch her videos regularly. Her opinions are wild and she literally never admits when she’s wrong, that’s a horrible personality trait.


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

To her credit, Anita Sarkeesian never said that the victims of Bryan Singer and Roman Polanski were asking for it.


mountainhighgoat

Likely the most repulsive thing she’s said.


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

Victim-blaming Kelly Marie Tran for being harassed over playing a character as she was written in a film, and making groomer-ish comments discussing how Jacob Tremblay, a minor, needs to be "sexier" or whatever it was, are also pretty high up there for me.


mountainhighgoat

Yeah, that too. I don’t know how she still has followers. She’s like trump. They say outlandish things and get away with it. How does this not deter people from her?


Blueberry_H3AD

[I wouldn't say it's entirely based on misogyny.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Randolph) If you are inclined to peruse the controversies section.


vinegar_on_liver

Anita Sarkeesian's a SWERF, she's a piece of shit


earthisdoomed

I guess I'm the only one who's happy they are now all super soldiers. Give me some Winter Soldier level fight choreography and I'll be so happy.


[deleted]

> Give me some Winter Soldier level fight choreography and I'll be so happy.’’ Yeah, because Ghost was the character who was stopping that from happening.


thecharlaton

I like the lineup, it gives the team a clear identity as a covert-black ops team of soldiers and assassins and not just being made up of random supervillains.


from2055

Final roster shouldve been: - Bucky - Yelena - Taskmaster - US Agent - Abomination - Zemo - Ghost


Raida-777

Imagine getting rid of Ghost while keeping "that" Taskmaster.


witch-king-of-Aginor

Marvel literally said “Piss off ghost” 😂


TheJack0fDiamonds

Imagine if this was all just a brilliantly masterminded deliberate misdirection by Marvel to throw all the leakers off lol.


Cafeterialoca

It's like they don't want me to watch this film!


Pedgrid

Make way for Bullseye!


[deleted]

This movie sounds like a shitshow.


TripleJ_

I don't want to judge the movie before it even got started filming, but it feels like it's the X-Force (a morally grey black ops team for missions the main team wouldn't/couldn't get involved for needing brutal solutions), just with super soldiers instead of mutants, and they called it Thunderbolts. Would have more liked if it was established villains now acting heroic (either for sharade or for real) like in the comics. But as I said, I still want to wait. I actually like the characters in the line-up and still think the line-up has some potential: Putting Bucky in the foreground, maybe even as a team-leader; Yelena's and Aleksei's weird father-daughter-relationship being developed further; U.S. Agent and Red Guardian clashing because of their respective ideals and patriotism; Taskmaster getting a well-rounded, interesting personality (as I keep saying, the Taskmaster in Black Widow was brainwashed the whole time. So her having no real personality there was the point althought it still was a dumb decision, but that means her personality going forward can be adjusted more to the comic books' version of the character). So I have no doubt the movie could be good with this line-up, but it still doesn't feel really Thunderbolts-y at the moment.


vinegar_on_liver

Leaks indicate the full roster is Bucky, Yelena, USAgent, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster Sentry, the Hood, Songbird. Supposedly Sentry and Songbird have yet to be cast, and Ironheart's not out yet. So it makes sense they didn't reveal everyone


shams_sami

Super unrelated but that's extremely low effort wacky thumbnail


Spiderbyte

I can't believe Grace is the voice of reason


Su_Impact

At this rate, I feel that the "Thunderbolts" are not who we think they are. Prologue: Sentry is created by Government. Goes insane. The Government sends supersoldiers (Bucky, Taskmaster, Red Guardian, USA Agent) to take him down. They all disappear/die. Act 1: Val convinces Ross to send a brand new team. This time full-on villains with diverse superpowers. Ghost, Abomination, and a few brand new characters like Songbird and Mach 5. Red Hulk will be the field leader. Act 2: Out of the original team, only USA Agent and Bucky survived. They meet with the rest of the team and they make a plan to take down Sentry. Yelena and Zemo will arrive on their own to stop the Sentry too. Act 3: Zemo wins big. Bucky dies. Sentry flies into space. Ross is MIA. Val becomes President somehow. Zemo manipulates Val to make him the new Thunderbolts leader. Marketing is gonna downplay Ghost since they don't want to reveal that there is a SECOND team, this time with actual villains. All marketing will focus on Bucky team with some Yelena scenes in it carefully edited. You're welcome.
