The first teaser trailer for Thunderbolts* has me worried about three of the MCU movie’s most powerful characters. I was thrilled when Thunderbolts* was announced to be in development by Marvel boss Kevin Feige in 2022, especially since some of my favorite characters, many of whom have been underutilized in the MCU, were confirmed to be returning. While I can’t wait to see these antiheroes and reformed villains back in action in Phase 5, I’m also concerned that not all of these characters will make it through Thunderbolts* in one piece.
