Zemo for sure
I wanted Abomination, but it wouldn't make sense after She-Hulk, so no Abomination
Maybe they can be working for Ross/Red Hulk?
They could maybe add Diamondback from Luke Cage, or Bullseye from Daredevil
Oh, and get rid of Red Guardian and Bucky
@ShyGuy1992 For what's it worth Bucky, Alexei, and maybe Yelena is probably going to be gone after this movie since I don't see any of them working for either Ross or Val.
Personally I would introduce James Bourne, aka Solo from the comics. Teleporting mercenary with a signature sense of humor and lots of guns.
@Duke of Scales Ghost.
I'm taking this from an idea I had for a Thunderbolts trilogy. Each film shows a different roster:
Thunderbolts 1 - Thunderbolts / Thunderbolts vs. The Punisher
Formed by Valentina:
Yelena (leader)
Zemo (dies)
Ghost
Songbird
Ogre
Cardinal (dies)
Punisher (originally an enemy of the team, ends up joining them)
Thunderbolts 2 - Thunderbolts: Justice is Served / Thunderbolts vs. Scourge
Led by Yelena (overseen by Valentina):
Yelena (leader)
Ghost
Punisher (leaves the team in the end)
US Agent
Smuggler (Conrad Josten)
Valentina is killed by The Scourge of the Underworld:
Yelena (leader)
Ghost
US Agent
Smuggler
Ogre (reunited)
Songbird (reunited)
Hawkeye (recruited)
Bucky Barnes (recruited)
Team disagreements on how to handle the threat of Scourge, splits the two teams:
Yelana (leader)
Ghost
US Agent
Ogre
Hawkeye (leader)
Smuggler
Bucky Barnes
Songbird
Punisher (joins the team at the very end)
Both teams decide to join forces to take down Scourge (they manage to kill him):
Yelena (leader)
Hawkeye (leader)
Punisher
US Agent (dies)
Ghost (dies)
Smuggler
Bucky Barnes (leaves the team in the end)
Ogre
Songbird
Thunderbolts 3 - Thunderbolts: Justice like Lightning / The Thunderbolts vs. the Thunderbolts
Scourge is "resurrected" and "kills" the Punisher
New Thunderbolts (led by Hawkeye and Yelena):
Hawkeye (leader)
Yelena (leader) - dies
Songbird
Ogre (dies)
Smuggler
Evil Thunderbolts (led by Scourge, framing the original Thunderbolts, and posing themselves as a sort of Dark Avengers type of team)
Scourge (leader) - Scourge is revealed to be Antonia Dreykov as Taskmaster, she is being controlled by the Scourge organization, led by Tony Masters (who dies earlier in the film); she dies in the end
Radioactive Man
Atlas (Erik Josten)
Skein
Mongoose
Original team wins. Hawkeye leads a new team of Thunderbolts, with Songbird, Wonder Man, Darkhawk, Smuggler and Atlas (who has turned to the good side)
Bucky (leader)
Gwenpool (I really want to see her in the MCU)
Zemo (I’d like to see an alliance between him and Bucky)
Yelena (Slay Kween)
Taskmaster (I’d like to see her and Yelena)
John F Walker ( by far the worst MCU character but maybe he’ll be better as the US Agent)
Ghost (She deserves a comeback now that she has been cured)
John Walker was a great character.
I just think anything with a little more variety would’ve been nice. Before She-Hulk, I also would’ve said Abomination, for that reason.
Abomination
What do you think?
