So, the title of upcoming Marvel movie Thunderbolts* officially has an asterisk at the end of it – and apparently it means something significant, according to studio boss Kevin Feige. Not that he’s going to tell us what it is until after the film’s released…
Fans had initially assumed it was a jokey nod to a “typo” seen ona behind-the-scenes set tourposted to Instagram back in March, but it turns out the asterisk was supposed to be there the whole time. For now, we can’t even imagine what the symbol might entail, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Featuring Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, and Harrison Ford as Thaddeus Ross, Thunderbolts* is essentially set to be Marvel’s answer to DC’s Suicide Squad. In short, it’ll see a bunch of the franchise’s antiheroes come together to carry out missions on behalf of the US government. Olga Kurylenko, Geraldine Viswanathan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus,and David Harbour round out the star-studded cast.
During the presentation, Feige also teased the likes of The Fantastic Four andDeadpool and Wolverine, even going so far as to confirm thatthe latter will roll out a “crude and lewd” popcorn bucketthat will rivalDune: Part Two’s upon its release.
