With a strong box office performance in its early days, the team has now officially announced the Thunderbolts* as new Avengers, a few days after the film’s release. Is this a good step for the cinematic universe? Let’s analyze.
Thunderbolts* as new Avengers, a good decision or not?
New Avengers title to the team of Thunderbolts* An heritage that it should live in the coming years. If this new team of heroes fails to match the brand that was established by the original Avengers, it can cause disappointment among the audience. Even if the new title is primarily for publicity objectives, there is a strong possibility that the future will forget it if not reinforced in Marvel films, allowing the team to refer to once again as Thunderbolts.
Currently, Thunderbolts* is well received by the audience, enjoying a positive reception. To continue the film’s benefit during your dramatic run for this speed, the production can be provided better service by promoting the film completely under the thunderbolts* banner, which before increasing the group of superheroes on a large scale.
Now that the team is officially nominated as new Avengers, they should be deployed as central force standing against future dangers in Marvel Cinematic Universe to justify the title. Another way to strengthen this step would be that this new Avengers lineup should include heritage characters like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Thor, Captain America and others. This will not only validate the title, but will also apply a sense of apathy among fans.
On the box office front, Thunderbolts* showed a strong performance in both domestic and international markets, opening the US $ 162 million globally.
