Thunderbolts* director wanted to bring the MCU team by hand, but Marvel had other floors

In a recent interview, Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier He opened on a very monstrous idea that he had while putting the team together, and included a certain favorite character by fans soaked in swamp …

While talking to the SFX magazine (via Gamesradar+), Schreier shared: “I think there was a point during the launch when I really wanted the man to be on the team”. This is a character that I didn’t expect for Thunderbolts, but I like the idea!

In the end, Marvel Studios had different plans. Instead of debuting together with artists of the caliber of Yelena Belova and Bucky Barnes, the man made the entrance of the MCU in 2022 Mannaro wolf at night Special, and Schreier admits that that move probably made sense, saying that “he worked for the best”.

However, the version of Thunderbolts* We are not getting short of intriguing, anti -heroes who live in that medium -morally gray dessert. According to Schreier, this was always the atmosphere. He added:

“It was a question of looking through the MCU and not only finding bad that could be good, but characters who exist more on that morally gray plane or who were potentially intended for something else but then something went wrong. Or perhaps they are only misunderstood, someone like John Walker, where he was literally Captain America.”

That central theme of broken people who unite to form something significant is cooked in history. Schreier continued:

“Maybe there is something worth taking care of. I think everyone has a little lost touch with that idea. At the beginning through the pure necessity, because of the situation in which they were put together, but then more by inspiration, since a group could become something bigger than each one could be alone?”

And while we will not see the man in this team, the idea of ​​him around with this crew is the type of MCU “What If” who triggered my imagination.
