I personally think Man-Thing wouldn't fit well with the rest of the team. It'd be pretty random if Val was like, "Ok, I gotta kill off the closest things we have to superheroes right now, so my recruits, Yelena and John, probably Ava and Antonia too since they're powered up, oh yea, and Man-Thing."

@IronwidowmaikuB - im not too familar with most of the thunderbolts but i thought winter soldier had become a full on hero lately but maybe he did do more bad things in that show he was on and i missed it.

@Lmcarth -why though

@gamelord2011- I think you're commenting on the wrong post.

@GarrettSMW

Im afraid i dont get the context of what you're talking about.

@Tommy,Klaus&Kol2012+ Bucky for me fits the vibe of a Thunderbolts team despite evolving into more of a fully-fledged hero. He has conflicts from his past that still haunt him, which I'm guessing will be a central theme in the film based on the reports we've received from early screenings and the final trailer with Yelena in the Void seemingly reexperiencing memories. Also, I deleted the FF post, it probably was an accident.

^^Based on one of the clips that was released, I have a theory that Val planned to kill off the closest things the world had to heroes to make room for Sentry (she introduces him as Earth's Mightiest Hero in one of the TV spots). She probably didn't want them trying to stop her.

I guess Man-Thing is a random choice to have him be a member of Thunderbolts

Plus I think Michael is planning to make a sequel comic to Werewolf by Night which is where Man-Thing would have a much for active role

@GarrettSMW I'm gonna assume val is Julia Louis dreyfeuss character, I haven't seen a few of the marvel movies and shows so I'm a little behind. Also I haven't seen a single trailer to the movie, I don't even really know the plot, I know the main characters and that is it.

@Optimusprimebumblebee "Neo Astral-X" 123 -True but sometimes random things can be a good thing but I get its all in the eye of the beholder, what I find cool someone else might find lame.

I get that but a comic is different than a show or movie so I don't get why that would hold him back.

While it is random, I just don't see him with the current members of Thunderbolts*

He needs to join forces with Blade, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Scarlet Scarab, Werewolf by Night and Elsa Bloodstone to form Midnight Suns

Yeah I get what you mean.

@Optimusprimebumblebee "Neo Astral-X" 123 What sucks though is that Marvel doesn’t seem to have plans for those characters, so if we ever get a Midnight Sons movie it would probably be after Secret Wars.
