Marvel's Thunderbolts*

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's 2025 escapade continues with its next installment, where the deadliest rivals band together for a chance to redeem themselves, proving they can still save the world even without the Avengers.

Who are the Thunderbolts*? The Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, Ghost, John Walker, and Taskmaster are the deadliest rivals from the MCU that formed the said crew trying to put their past sins behind them and prove that they will risk everything to save the world that was reeling from the aftermath of the Infinity War.

Consider them the Marvel equivalent of DC's Suicide Squad. Like the Suicide Squad, they are a group of villains recruited by the U.S. government in a desperate attempt to save the world, no matter the cost. This often involves resorting to extreme violence against any threats that stand in their way.

Filled with a dark sense of humor, it's great to see MCU's deadliest rivals butting heads, figuring out how to save the world if the Avengers were nearly wiped out in the Infinity War. Still, in the end, they prove that if they can't do it, nobody can.

Summer arrives early with the latest installment of the MCU. Filled with excessive violence, dark humor, and classic Marvel moments, this movie strikes not twice but too many times.
