Marvel Studios will soon release the Thunderbolts movie to the big screen. Thunderbolts synopsis tells the story of the formation of a team consisting of Marvel anti-heroes to replace the role of the Avengers.
The government formed the Thunderbolts because they saw great potential in characters who were previously considered enemies or threats. In this movie, a team of people with controversial and dark backgrounds join forces to fight a growing threat.
Although they are not heroes, their extraordinary strength and combat skills make them an inevitable choice in the face of incoming threats.
1. Thunderbolts Synopsis
The Thunderbolts movie adapts the comic of the same name by Kurt Busiek. This movie tells the story of an antihero team consisting of several members such as Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and U.S. Agent/John Walker.
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine hired these six antiheroes as part of her team. Their job is to solve the threats posed by the absence of the Avengers. The team will face difficult obstacles that threaten the world as well as their own integrity.
They have the potential to be more than just villains. However, difficult decisions and past betrayals risk destroying the team’s unity. This adds to the tension in the movie, as the audience is left wondering if the team can work together to achieve their goal.
