Don’t watch this trailer if you want to avoid semi-big spoilers!
I’m really interested to see what Val’s intentions are, at first she was giving me bad guy vibes, telling Yelena that Clint Barton was responsible for Natasha’s death and recruiting that asshole John Walker, but since Bucky is working with them I’m not so sure, plus the whole Hawkeye thing has been sorted out.
I haven’t read the comics if you can’t tell lol
Val telling Yelena about Barton still doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe Val and Barton have some bad blood between them? Maybe Val tried to put together an Avengers team during the snap and it all went to shit? Tony left or couldn’t work with Cap. Barton went off to become Ronin. It all fell apart and Natasha had to take over.
Recruiting Walker makes sense. He’s a good soldier. He isn’t a good Captain America, but he’s a good soldier.
Well, we later were told that Yelena was hired by Kate Bishop’s mother, who worked for Kingpin, so perhaps he and Val have some kind of relation?
Also, when do we get to see Kingpin running for president?
I guess I gotta give Hawkeye another watch, I forgot most of that. I suppose it is nearly the season for it.
Also, when do we get to see Kingpin running for president?
If by President you mean mayor of NYC, based on Echo, it looks like next time we see him which means Daredevil: Born Again.
That’s what I meant. He did run for president in the comics though, which is meta as fuck
TIL
I don’t see Fisk running for President in the MCU anytime soon. Obviously the position is currently taken by President Thaddeus Ross, so pending Brave New World to see if there is a vacancy/need for a challenger. Plus Fisk has to run for Mayor first and be publicly successful.
Val buying Stark Tower is fun. I wonder if Thunderbolts will get a ________ Avengers name by the end of the film.
It’s definitely what she’s trying to do, she’ll bring up building a “new Avengers team” but it won’t stick, Red Guardian will keep calling the team Thunderbolts instead, and then there won’t be another movie with them before Secret Wars anyway so that team name will be the running gag for 10 minutes. Maybe someone will make a passing throwaway line about those new weird Wallmart Avengers (just like Yelena with John here) and that’s it.
…and Bob.
