Thunderbolts*
The 2022 Disney D23 Expo let on the lineup for the upcomingThunderboltsmovie . While many fans expressed excitement for the risible book squad ’s first alive - activity crew , some fans took to Twitter to verbalize surprisal that some expected characters were missing , like fundamental MCU characters like Abomination and General Thunderbolt Ross .
While much remains nameless about the movie , it seems speculation on certain characters led to disappointment among some rooter . The Thunderbolts batting order constantly evolves in the comics , though , and the same is potential to be true in the MCU , so there still could be a chance that many fan favorites make their way into the picture show or next episode .
General Thunderbolt Ross
A major figure from Marvel Comics that some lover expected to be in the movie is General Thaddeus ' Thunderbolt ' Ross . Ross not only partake a name in common with the team but also has impregnable tie to them in the comics . He joined a young iteration in 2012 , focused on missions that involved case and fig from his long military life history .
Ross get together as the Red Hulk , amongthe strongest Hulk versions in cartoon strip , and that character may yet seem in the MCU . The recent death of actor William Hurt complicated Thunderbolt Ross ' status in the dealership , result candid the doubt of how the MCU will go on with the character .
Hawkeye
Hawkeye also shares potent ties to the Thunderbolts . Comic leger lover recognize Hawkeyeas a stalwart Avenger but for a fundamental period in the 1990s , he led the Thunderbolts away from their original supervillain position toward their current complicated function as antiheroes . He also leads the current translation in the comics , which includes America Chavez and others .
Hawkeye ’s MCU journeying come out to come at least at a natural ending peak with his pelt series , though the door remains heart-to-heart for him to deliver in the hereafter , especially if his live - activity journey mirrors the amusing book one .
The Punisher
Some fans feel the upcomingThunderboltsmovie presented a good chance to re-introduce Frank Berenthal as The Punisher . Berenthal played Frank Castle in the Netflix suite of Marvel shows and like Daredevil , likely appear in the MCU at some full point . The Punisher does have tie to the Thunderbolts in the comics , joining the squad ’s 6th incarnation .
The MCU may search to establish The Punisher on his own before plug in him to a squad , though he for sure fits the greenback of the resilient - action police squad as a former soldier with a complicated past .
Elektra
Elektra seemed another Netflix type some sports fan hoped to see in the lineup . Elektra , amongthe best martial artists in the Marvel Universe , last appear inThe DefendersNetflix series . She joined the 6th Thunderbolts squad along with The Punisher , Deadpool , Ghost Rider , and others .
Elektra likely issue among the most uncertain Netflix characters when it comes to appearing in the MCU . The upcomingDaredevil : bear AgainMCU serial publication come along to be disconnected from the Netflix one , and with the canonicity of that show in uncertainty , Elektra could be one facial expression the MCU decides to do over .
Ghost Rider
Some fans hoped Ghost Rider appeared in the batting order as he bring a very unlike power adjust to the admixture . The supernatural character ’s chronicle with the squad sure made it potential , and Ghost Rider has been the subject of much speculation when it amount to the MCU . Ghost Rider appeared inAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. , also open a door to his MCU crossover .
Ghost Rider , at least for the minute , seems another reference the MCU wish to found on their own . With many supernatural type appear in live - action at the moment and more on the way , lover can expect him to appear at some point .
Deadpool
Deadpool ’s absence seizure from the roster makes sense as he likely makes his MCU launching inDeadpool 3 . That does n’t take the gyp out of it for some fans , who not only wanted to see the pop eccentric on the team , but also the firework between him and Yelena Belova .
The two character entered an unlikely romanticism inThunderbolts#129 - 131 when Yelena led the Thunderbolts on a mission to kill Deadpool . She ultimately helped him go back from the wound the squad impose on him .
Bullseye
Bullseye , amongthe most powerful Daredevil villains in Marvel Comics , served on two different Thunderbolts teams . He joined the vast army of supervillains conscripted into service during theCivil Warstoryline , and also the much smaller contingent that was organized immediately subsequently .
With Daredevil in the MCU , Bullseye take a shit an visual aspect earlier or subsequently . He potentially joins the Thunderbolts in the future depending on the squad ’s luck come out of their first solo movie .
Abomination
risible Good Book fan know Abominationserved on the tenth Thunderbolts police squad . This interlingual rendition hunt down superheroes after Kingpin becomes city manager of New York City and illegalize them . Abomination seemed likely for the Thunderbolts given his return inShe - giant : Attorney At Lawand his law of similarity to other MCU member .
His futurity in the MCU depends on the streaming series , currently on-going , and he could yet join the Thunderbolts in the moving picture . The complete team probably remains undefined at the moment to avoid spoilers .
Baron Zemo
Baron Zemo organise the Thunderbolts in the comics , so many fans wait him to be in the MCU variation . With Zemo play such a salient role inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier , he seemed primed to be involved , but so far , the proclaimed lineup does n’t include him . Like Abomination , that potentially changes in the future .
Zemo last appear in the hands of the Dora Milaje . Black Panther : Wakanda Foreverfeatures a war between Wakanda and the Talocans that could see Zemo bunk . Zemo shape the Thunderbolts in Marvel Comics when he and the Masters of Evil masquerade as superheroes to capitalize on the Avengers ' seeming demise . This led to perhaps the greatest whirl ending in Marvel Comics chronicle on the final Sir Frederick Handley Page ofThunderbolts#1 .
