With the official release of "Thunderbolts*", the 36th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, official marketing efforts are already underway, and the film is now being unveiled under the new title, "The New Avengers". This signals a significant shift in the project's positioning and overall direction.
According to foreign media reports, in the film's ending, after the original anti-hero team, the Thunderbolts, successfully prevented the dark forces of "the Void" from being unleashed, they decided to team up and apprehend Valentina, the mastermind behind it all.
However, the CIA Director had already prepared an escape plan, and at a press conference, she announced the team's new identity: "The New Avengers." The post-credits scene further revealed that they had actually been secretly operating under this name for over a year.
It is widely believed that Marvel's decision to swiftly announce this rebranding initiative primarily capitalizes on the powerful influence of the "Avengers" brand, hoping to boost audience anticipation and attention for the film through this "brand refresh." Judging by promotional billboards and other visual materials, the title change has already entered its official rollout phase.
Beyond the title change, the film also features music by Son Lux, who previously scored "Everything Everywhere All at Once." The cast sees the return of popular actors including Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and David Harbour, alongside several new additions to the MCU.
