The new Thunderbolts trailer is the complete opposite of what we expected from the MCU

Despite the uncertain direction Marvel has taken in recent years, the new Thunderbolts trailer has sparked notable interest by presenting a more everyday and less epic approach than its recent productions. With only three movies left before Avengers: Doomsday, this film seems to mark the beginning of the formation of a new superhero team that promises to integrate key characters from the Marvel Universe.

The trailer, which was released during the Superbowl, suggests that Marvel is making a strong bet on the movie, as evidenced by a clear interconnection between the characters of Black Widow, Falcon and Winter Soldier, and Ant-Man and the Wasp. This contrasts with previous attempts to create standalone films that did not seem necessary to connect with the rest of the cinematic universe. By introducing elements like The Sentinel, one of the most iconic characters from the comics, the film is designed to attract both fans and a new audience.

A new approach for the MCU after the recent setback?

Additionally, the new trailer evokes comparisons to Suicide Squad, suggesting a shift in the tone of superhero narratives towards something more street-level and less pretentious. However, fans should be cautious, as productions often reveal more than they should, as is the case with many trailers in Hollywood; it is speculated that details of the third act may have been hinted at, which, while intriguing, may not reflect the complete experience of the film.

Marvel intends to release three movies in the next six months, a risky strategy that could culminate in a resurgence of superheroes or result in questionable decisions. With that premise, the industry will be closely watching to see how these upcoming releases unfold and how the audience will react to this new direction.
