There has been plenty of time forthe other Thunderbolts membersto develop since their last appearances.
Superhero sentiment in the MCU isn’t exactly at its peak, especially with Wilson Fisk rallying against vigilantes.
I initially believed that this confirmed why Bucky doesn’t have his own superhero outfit.
Namely,he is retired from superheroics and hasn’t worn a costume for several years.
Bucky Barnes is pardoned by the US government after helping in the fight against Thanos.
Then again, newThunderbolts*footage has cast doubt on this relatively simple state of affairs.
This footage provided an extended look at some of the main scenes revealed in trailers.
What is revealed, however, is thatBucky’s tenure in Congress was cut short by a whole year.
The full description of the footage is as follows:
It begins with a shot of a city.
“What kind of super serum did you get?”
“Hydra,” - Bucky.
Red Guardian tries to convince Bucky that they should be co-leaders.
“Are we there yet?”
- Yelena Belova yells from the back of the truck.
In the back, Yelena, Walker, and Ghost are discussing their bodysuits, helmets, etc.
Yelena is making fun of Walker for his hat.
Red Guardian is asking Bucky what the plan is.
Then we see their truck drive right into Val’s Watchtower (formerly Avengers Tower).
Everyone gets out and starts fighting a dozen armed guards.
Walker smashes one with his shield.
Bucky nearly chokes one to death.
Ghost uses her phasing powers we saw in Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Fontaine speaks on a loud speaker and says, Guys, I left the door unlocked for you.
They didnt know they werent supposed to fight everyone.
Then we see them in the elevator (the same shot seen in the trailers).
Apparently he only lasted half a term as congressman.
Agent a Junior Varsity Captain America,.
Then she calls Red Guardian an Old Santa.
“You are all so adorable.
I send you down there to kill each other, but instead you make nice and form a team.
Val then reveals she’s not alone as Sentry comes down the stairs.
Theres lots of action, including Bucky using his arm to block a car that is barreling towards them.
