I Am Very Excited for Thunderbolts*
The first official teaser trailer for the Thunderbolts* movie arrived like lightning today, and it looks pretty awesome! I saw a pirated version of this when it was released at Comic-Con (or D23?) and it looks even better as a real trailer on my real phone.
I am excited for this movie! I do not hide my MCU apologies or love for the franchise still, and this looks awesome! Take a bunch of random side characters from the past few movies and shows and team them up Avengers-style! It helps that I very much like all these characters, especially U.S.Agent and Ghost. I’m so thrilled they’re bringing back Ghost! It would have been so easy to never hear from her again, but this is a perfect place for her!
It looks funny, it looks full of action, and it looks like Florence Pugh will easily carry the whole darn thing. David Harbour as Red Guardian is also no slouch in the fun department.
Thunderbolts* comes to theaters next May.
And in terms of the asterisk, I’m in the camp that believes the movie will be “Dark Avengers” by the end.

6 Thoughts on Black Widow
At long last, after two years, we’ve finally got a major Marvel superhero movie in theaters! As an unapologetic Marvel fanboy, I was thrilled to see Black Widow on the big screen and enjoy another wonderful action film. And I’m very pleased to see the big box office numbers, meaning other people were just as happy to get out and watch Black Widow.
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good.
I very much enjoyed Black Widow. I don’t really have any gripes or complaints or nitpicks. I know the online conversation around this movie has involved a lot of picks and nits here and there, but I am not one of those people. I enjoyed everything about this film. I don’t consider it one of Marvel’s all-time best or in the upper echelon of Marvel films. I just consider it another solid, enjoyable, well-made Marvel movie. And, honestly, I can feel a bit of that Marvel magic with this one. It’s hard to explain.
But I’m going to do my best! Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of Black Widow. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie.
