Thunderbolts Hints Can Explain Why Its MCU Phase 5's Avengers Replacement

Thunderbolts is being set up as Phase 5’s Avengers replacement thanks to recent hints. The MCU had been subtly teasing the team’s arrival throughout the first part of Phase 4 with the introduction of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine and her interest in both Yelena Belova and U.S. Agent. Yet, many were surprised when it was announced that the team is getting its own film, and even more so when the main cast was revealed at SDCC. Yelena and U.S. Agent will be joined by Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Taskmaster, and Ghost. That’s an interesting group to consider, especially since it doesn’t contain any of the classic members from the comics.
