I'm surprised this isn't going to be a TV show. No cast announced yet.

I liked Robot & Frank, so i'm cautiously optimistic.

There's also reports, though I haven't yet seen any from a credible source, that Marvel hired Coulter to reprise Luke Cage in Thunderbolts.

So, Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, Yelena Widow and Luke Power Man. Seems like a punchy, ground-level team so far. I could imagine Wanda for Flying Skybeam person but she dead (apparently).

Wanda feels like they would just spend the whole time writing around her being absurdly powerful compared to the others (They write Bucky pretty strong I guess, but on paper he'd fit in with a bunch of brawlers)

Abomination has to have good odds considering that this is announced right before Roth rejoins the MCU. And House if Harkness is coming. Presumably SWORD or someone has Agatha.

Idk who the Thunderbolts would even be fighting. Also, the timing for them seems off. Their time should’ve been after the snap but right now the Avengers losses have mostly been replenished.

When he was in the team in the comics he was the leader and the one who was doing it as a job to try and help the other members reform if I recall, no electric collars or bombs or whatever.

I'd imagine if they do bring Luke Cage into a thing, if it's not his own new series explicitly continuing from series 2 of the Netflix thing then they'd just ignore the end of that, then if they later decide to go back and continue that they'd just have it be set it in the past and resolve it in a way that'd cleanly let him be in the state he is in the present of the MCU.

It'd be weird to bring in a character who's brand new to a lot (most?) viewers to lead the team. Especially since what you described sounds like Bucky.

Assuming Walker's on the team, it's already going to get a lot of whining from people who resent having to watch the D+ shows.

Tap "A" to drink!!!

Doctor Strange is sort of already in "you need to watch D+ to understand part of Wanda's motivation territory" but that's not really new character based unless you consider the kids. Most of the cast is already known to the audience from prior films. Thor and Black Panther will likely blow past any D+ stuff so you won't have this tested until maybe Ant Man or Captain Marvel 2 presuming Ms Marvel and Monica star in it.

Finally sat down and watched the first episode and wow, the style of this thing is just so damned charming. It's very Scott Pilgrim/Mitchells vs. the Machines and I dig it a lot.

I also think Kamala's dad rules. Big Hulk!

They have? Sure Sam Wilson is the new Captain America but

Iron Man: Dead
Black Widow: Yelena will apparently be in Thunderbolts
Hawkeye: Maybe, but Kate might also hang out with Yelena in Thunderbolts
Hulk: Sort of doing his own thing
Thor: in space

as for the "runner-up" Avengers:

Wanda: "in a bad place to be an Avenger"
Vision: finding himself?
War Machine: still around
Falcon: promoted to Captain America and hasn't been replaced
Black Panther: Chadwick Boseman is dead and unlike Star Wars the MCU apparently isn't into necromancy
Spider-Man: probably out of the picture
Ant-Man: possible but also doing his own thing with quantum stuff

Honestly, I don't think the Avengers are really a thing anymore as an actual team since Endgame.

It does make sense for the Sorcerer Supreme to commission a team called “the Defenders”. I don’t give a poo poo about being “comics accurate” as long as everything jives in-universe.

Well, wait, wouldn’t Wong be more likely to form the Marvel Knights?

Edit: I mean Midnight Sons. Marvel Knights was the sub imprint.

Carol : did someone say Kareoke? Do you have any Lita Ford?

Rhodey will be back with the Armor Wars series.

Yelena is in a weird place because yea comic wise she'd go with the thunderbolts, but show wise her chemistry seems like it would make more sense with something with Kate, who I would think would not join a group like the Thunderbolts. Though it would be easy to have her go " wait what the gently caress are we doing?" And break away.

And yes gimme Songbird and Moonstone.

Maybe her and Falcon, Jr. can form the Young Adult Avengers.

It's a weird mix cause Kate seems too old for Ms. Marvel and Patriot and they're too old for Young Loki and the twins.

Yalena is definitely young compared to some of the original avengers like Downey, Ruffalo and Renner.

Marvel is still set on using "Defenders" for the Netflix show team. Disney+ even puts all of them under that category when you look through all the Marvel stuff.

I hope when they do iron heart for the young avengers. They don't water down how much of an achievement it is to make an iron man suit. It's gonna give me a big ol frown if they slap that together in a weekend in a cave with a bunch of scraps.

Tye only odd thing is America being 15 so the friendship with Kate would be a bit odd.

But she could be bffs with Kamala, which would be pretty cool.
