Thunderbolts*

TheMCU ’s newestThunderbolts*trailer help to justify why the wait betweenAvengers : EndgameandAvengers : Doomsdayis so long , via its own exploration of how this gap in the Avengers ' story affects the world and its story . Despite still being some time off releasing , the MCU’sAvengers : Doomsdayhas been a key issue of discussion when it comes to superhero picture show in the preceding months and twelvemonth . This is partly because theupcoming MCU movieis a huge part of one of the bounteous superhero franchises of all prison term , but also because of the unusually long delay for its debut .

While previous Avengers moving picture did n’t discharge too close together , they generally stayed within a relatively close ballpark of one another clock time wise . The longest wait between the existing four Avengers films has previously been that of 3 years - with this being the place between bothThe AvengersandAvengers : Age Of Ultronas well asAge Of UltronandAvengers : Infinity War .

2025’s Thunderbolts* Trailer Makes The Delay Between Avengers: Endgame And Avengers: Doomsday Feel More Intentional

Thunderbolts* Exploring The Long-Term Aftermath Of Endgame Helps Build To Avengers 5

The newThunderbolts*trailer rivet on what makes the tatter - tag team of former scoundrel and current antiheroes so unconventional by MCU standards - namely , that they ’re very different to the Avengers , both in their more historically confutable moral alignments and their various skillsets largely being comparatively similar , which Yelena point out directly by say , " so what , we all just punch and shoot ? " However , it ’s strongly suggested the intention of the team is to suffice as a sort of quasi - Avengers replacement , with Valentina Allegra de Fontaine making a manner of speaking effectively express her intention to occupy this current nullity .

Valentina states that " The Avengers are not coming . Who will keep the American hoi polloi safe ? " with Bucky present in the desktop , in short before the former Winter Soldier is shown enjoin a tied up grouping including Red Guardian , US Agent , Yelena Belova and Ghost that they ’re go to help him stop a major scourge - which , free-base on the trailer , look to be that of Marvel ’s Void . As such , The Avengers having ostensibly been motionless for geezerhood explains why the Thunderbolts come to be , and also serves to justify why some pattern might become heroes in this time without them present .

Given the Void is a monumental scourge - based on both the comics and the laggard shot of what looks like the MCU ’s Void flattening a person into a phantom - it stands to reason that quality who otherwise may have been lean to lead the problem with the idea that the Avengers would handle things will instead see themselves in a very different placement . see the humanity deal without the original Avengers lineup that handled major threats also offer the opportunity for further immense developments , justifying the prolonged absence seizure of theAvengersmovies in much the same wayThunderbolts*does .

Why Delaying Avengers 5 Until So Long After Endgame Makes Sense

More Than One Factor Helps Explain Why There’s Such A Long Gap Between The Fourth & Fifth Avengers Movie

Though the MCU has arguably suffered from not having the connective tissue that the Avengers flick offer the franchise , it does still make horse sense that the decision was made to prevail on the flick serial publication for so long . Avengers : Endgamecrafted a potentially matchless movie in term of both shell and story , with the MCU having work up up to this crescendo for 11 years by the distributor point of the 2019 film ’s dismissal . retaliator : Doomsdaycoming 7 age after this level offers a probability for this distance to make comparisons less pressing , and insure things feel resetfor the unexampled epoch .

Thunderbolts*offers more reasoning for this conclusion by show that the hold make sense on a story level , too . Though releases soon afterEndgamelikeThe Falcon & The Winter SoldierandWandaVisiondealt with the quick fallout of bothAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgameitself , leaving a longer in - universe gap between the last time audiences understand the Avengers in process and their eventual reformation makes it feel more meaningful , and allows for taradiddle to develop later down the line that further underline the pathos ofEndgameand what it meant for the MCU ’s Heron .

Of of course , there ’s also the real - world complication to keep in psyche . While the most recently notable consequence to have impacted the fifth Avengers movie was the film ’s enceinte shift from focusing on Kang asAvengers : The Kang Dynastyto interchange gears to focus on Doctor Doom in the now retitledAvengers : Doomsday , this is n’t the only complication the motion picture has faced that appears to have encouraged a bigger gap between the Avengers motion picture .

The pandemic also slow up down the overall speed the MCU ’s new overarching story could practicably move at , and the decision to slenderize the telephone number of MCU passing per year - while ostensibly the best decision in term of not overloading audiences - meant that things at last had to develop more slowly . With this also in head , it makes good sense that the dealership would develop storylines that could free this longer wait and build to the 5th plastic film further down the line , rather than reveal an Avengers moving picture at a item in meter that did n’t make sensation for it .

Thunderbolts* Shows How The MCU Can Make The Long Wait Between Avengers: Endgame And Avengers: Doomsday Work

Thunderbolts Balances Tying Its Story To The Past & Future

Many of the early releases that followedAvengers : Endgamesaw unfavorable judgment for the limited way they research the full extent ofEndgame ’s consequence , with some movies and shows only making circumscribed reference to the events that changed the MCU forever , or more or less brush aside it on the whole . While this may have seemed like a trip-up to a degree at the time , in the self-aggrandising picture , this may mean that former releases can more justifiably now explore the unique long - term forking of the world being without the Avengers for years without it seeming like the MCU is repeating itself too much .

With that said , Thunderbolts*appears set up to deal this potentially troublesome reconciliation act of giving significance to the past while also avoiding focusing on it too much with poise , teeing up for the movies around it to also repeat its overture . Since the movie interacts with the estimate that the team are produce as a result of the Avengers and their current absence seizure - but that its centering is on the Thunderbolts themselves and their own risky venture - the squad ’s organization and future tense consider precedent , even as further brick are put in position to build the itinerary forward forAvengers : Doomsday .
