Thunderbolts

Trivia: The asterisk in the film's title was added several months before its theatrical release, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige claiming the purpose of the asterisk would be revealed in the film. The reveal ended up being the film's alternate title of The New Avengers as its closing title card. Following its opening weekend, Marvel began marketing the film as its aforementioned alternate title, as well as added a ©, likely as reference to the legal dispute mentioned in the post-credits scene.

Trivia: Steven Yeun was originally cast as Sentry, but dropped out of the role in late 2023. He cited the SAG-AFTRA strike and shifting schedules as the main reasons.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: Rep. Bucky Barnes is stopped by reporters on his way to the hearing of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. One reporter asks him a question; Bucky responds in a less than impressive fashion and then walks off. The reporter turns her head as he walks past her, but in the next shot, she is staring into space in front of her, and only then turns towards him again.

Questions

Question: How were the media waiting so calmly for Valentina at the end? We know Val told Mel to have the media ready to see Bob defeat the Thunderbolts, and we can accept that Val would pivot to making the Thunderbolts the heroes. But the media are calmly waiting for a press conference seconds after a supervillain covered Manhattan in darkness and sent thousands of people into a nightmare zone before returning them. There should be questions, panic and chaos, not quiet attentiveness.
