The post-key scenes ‘Thunderbolts *’ explained: ‘Avengers Doomsday’ First Look

This story contains spoilers for Thunderbolts *.

Thunderbolts * has not only changed names – he has also changed his film entirely in a post -key scene.

After Contributa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) publicly renamed the team of anti-heroes and dysfunctional bad guys “New Avengers”, the two credits of credits jumped in time to reveal how they managed their new fame and their responsibilities. And director Jake Schreier says Weekly entertainment That the second scene, which sees Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes / The Winter soldier (Sebastian Stan), US Agent / John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian (David Harbor), Ava Starr / Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and Bob For the Naves to have on earth, for the film (vied for the film for the racers for the Neart, for the others, for their Earth next Avengers: Doomsday.

When EW asks the director if the second credit scene means that the new Avengers will be the first to meet the first Marvel family, he admits that he was not aware of this information. “You know as much as I know,” said Schreier. “I mean, I was there, but I did not run this scene. It comes from a whole film that officially starts production on Monday.”

The director reveals that the scene, which also presents the new Avengers arguing in the Watchtower, was only filmed only about a month ago. “I was very happy to be there and the chance of being there,” added Schreier. “It was so fun to see your characters go in this more important context. We live in our own contained world, but it was really fun to see them there.”

Each of the characters has a new superhero costume in the scene – apart from Bob, which always shakes civilian clothes – and Schreier is wary of saying if these looks are their official Avengers: Doomsday Costumes.

“I don’t know if I’m going to get shot by an elite shooter”, jokes the director. “It’s a scene of (Judgment Day), therefore in theory (yes). Now things can change, as they do in the Marvel world, but as currently formed, you were watching a little suspicion of this film. “”

Below, EW breaks down this Thunderbolts * (uh, New Avengers?) End and how the two final credits scenes have an impact on the future of the MCU.

Red Guardian’s dream come true

After the credits, literally tear the film New AvengersA short and hilarious median scene reveals that Alexi finally gets his dream: he, with the rest of the team, is on the front of a box of batés. And honor seems to have gone directly to his already swollen ego (shock), because he clearly drags in an alley of the grocery store to lounge in glory.

When the scene opens, some time has passed and Alexei was cleaned. He is shaved with his long beard and wears civilian clothes, seeming to be that slightly more adjusted to normal life. He tries to speak with another buyer while standing next to the new Avengers brand of wheat cereal boxes on the shelf. After several attempts to talk about the box with his face on it, the customer takes him overcrowth, hoping that he will leave her alone. He watches her move away in satisfaction, only to see her immediately fall on the box on the shelf when she is at a safe distance. Hey, you can’t win them all.

New allies … and a shocking new enemy

The following post-writer sequence, which Schreier has teased as turned Avengers: Doomsdayoffers a much more surprising overview of the future of the MCU. Fourteen months later, the new Avengers meet in the Watchtower, showing new looks – updated superhero costumes, different hairstyles and much more confident energy.

It is clear that they have been working as a team for some time, but there are still growing pain. They bicker with each other, of course, but now they are faced with a new, more irritating and surprising threat: Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), alias Captain America, disapproves of their new title – and he takes legal measures against.

“We are the new Avengers, the government said,” Yelena told Bucky. “How doesn’t Sam Wilson don’t understand that?”

“Well, he has a shield,” said Bucky.

“I also have a shield,” John tries to chat before Bucky closed him. As they argue if his shield is “S — Ty”, Yelena brings them back to the real problem by asking: “If he assembles a team, then the team is called the Avengers, then who are the real Avengers?”

According to John, this is exactly the question internet asked. “And to judge by the very nasty memes that I read, they don’t think it’s us,” he adds.

Yelena asks Bucky if he will talk to Sam of new Avengers against Avengers Found who are brewing, given how they were both the best friends in Steve. “I have already done it,” he said with a desperate look on his face. “It went badly.”

Yelena then reveals to the team that Sam has already deposited for the copyright of the name of the Avengers. “We lose credibility,” she said, while Ghost quips that they didn’t have much to start. “And now there is a huge spatial crisis and no one tells us about it.”

John is confused, thinking that Yelena means that there is no more space in the watchtower despite his extreme size. “Outdoor space!” Yelena shouts with disbelief. She then triggers the computers to perform a threat analysis on everything that is happening, just as Alexei joins the party with a sticky brand racing uniform that John immediately questions.

“I have heard of Sam Wilson. He is a stupid and litigious man,” said Alexei. “But I am an intelligent man and I have an intelligent resolution.” He then signals the words “New Avengerz” on his uniform. “With the ‘Z’, there is no copyright.” While Yelena and the rest of the team roll their eyes, he reveals that he has obtained one for everyone, including Bob, who was in the area reading a book. “We are all matching, all part of Super Team!”

But then an alarm relaxes, and Bucky reminds Yelena to remove a satellite image and pull the jets. “We wouldn’t need to draw the jets if we had a sentry that could fly,” growls Alexei.

Bob apologizes in the area. “I can’t be the sentry without, you know, the other side …” He follows before adding proudly, “I did the dishes!”
