The Earth now has its team of new mightiest heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, consisting of a bunch of ragtags trying to make something out of their lives. Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes, was recently seen changing posters that included a retitle of Thunderbolts, The New Avengers. With them came Bob (Lewis Pullman),…
If you’ve seen and read Frank Herbert’s Dune, you’ll find that the MCU’s Taskmaster is eerily similar to one of its characters. O-T Fagbenle, who plays S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and former flame of Natasha Romanoff Rick Mason, gave an audition for Taskmaster for Black Widow (2021) first.

This film features a group of troubled individuals who banded together to give each other a shot at redemption. While the roster consists of characters that aren’t everyone’s favorite, early reactions suggest this film is another winner…
Marvel’s Thunderbolts feels like a moment of deja vu. It began with a post-credit scene in Iron Man when Nick Fury (Samuel L.
