Ahead of Their MCU Debut, Marvel Is Relaunching Thunderbolts* In a Big Way

:0:1

A new line-up of Thunderbolts is getting ready to team up ahead of their highly anticipated MCU debut, revamping the roster in a big way with shocking additions. The Winter Soldier and Black Widow are forming a new team of anti-heroes and former villains to take on a dangerous threat, and this cast is sure to pack a serious punch as the series kicks off later this year.
Marvel Comics has just announced New Thunderbolts*, an exciting new comic that re-invents the chaotic crew with an unexpected cast of characters. Written by Sam Humphries with art by Ton Lima, this series will see the Thunderbolts joining forces to face off against seemingly unbeatable copies of the Illuminati.

The updated roster features the Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Wolverine, Carnage, Clea, Namor, and the Hulk. While this line-up is definitely an unlikely one, these powerhouses will need to work together if they want to take down their common enemy once the series begins on June 11th, 2025.

It now looks like he"ll be trading that roster for a new one that"s even more formidable. He and Black Widow alone have the fighting chops to take down their share of foes, but the other members push them to the next level. From Laura Kinney"s Wolverine to the Hulk, as well as more unpredictable additions like Eddie Brock and his bloodthirsty Carnage symbiote, there"s no shortage of skill in this updated roster.
