I’m Even More Excited About Thunderbolts* After Hearing The Movies That Inspired It (Including A Surprise Disney Pixar Movie)

:0:0

Director Jake Schreier reveals Thunderbolts*" unlikely Pixar inspiration, which may provide a hint at the MCU movie"s ending. The MCU"s Thunderbolts* cast is composed of various former villains and anti-heroes who form the MCU"s newest superhero team. Unlike their original comic book counterparts, the MCU"s Thunderbolts assemble against their will thanks to Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Instead of trying to replace the Avengers, these Thunderbolts may want to redeem themselves and turn a new page in their MCU stories.
In an interview with Empire, Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier reveals that he drew inspiration from Pixar"s Toy Story 3 to create the Thunderbolts" team dynamics. Shcreier highlights Toy Story 3"s emotional furnace sequence, which places all of the franchise"s main characters on an apparently certain path to death, which they all embrace peacefully. Jake Schreier"s Empire interview also compares Thunderbolts* to movies such as Reservoir Dogs, Ronin, and Mission: Impossible — all movies centered around high-stakes missions where the main characters face a certain death. Read Jake Schreier"s comments below:

“I had Toy Story 3 in there. It wasn’t as focused on a genre as much as dynamics amongst characters. They all have that dynamic of a team that is thrown together. That [furnace] sequence works so well because you’ve come to care about these characters so much. Can they get out of the trash can together?”
