The co-dependent 'Thunderbolts*' team isn't the one fans asked for, but it is also the most exciting group to emerge from the MCU in over a decade.

Just four days after its debut, the film is being unofficially (and very publicly) referred to as The New Avengers—a nod to the film’s climactic reveal that the team’s chaotic lineup has been co-opted as Earth’s next big superhero squad.

Marvel Studios has officially rebranded Thunderbolts as The New Avengers, aligning the film’s narrative with broader Multiverse Saga plans.
