The article explores the potential significance of the upcoming Thunderbolts movie within the larger narrative arc leading to Avengers: Doomsday (previously known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty).

Key points discussed:

1. Team Composition and Purpose: Thunderbolts features a team of anti-heroes and former villains (like Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, U.S. Agent, Taskmaster, Red Guardian, Ghost, and potentially Sentry) assembled by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. The article speculates their mission might involve tackling threats deemed too messy or politically sensitive for the Avengers.
2. Connection to Kang/Multiversal Threats: A central theory is that the Thunderbolts might be specifically tasked with dealing with a Kang variant or a consequence of the Multiversal Saga. Their morally ambiguous methods could make them uniquely suited (or dangerously unsuited) for such a task.
3. Setting the Stage for The article suggests Thunderbolts won't be a self-contained story. Instead, its events are likely crucial setup for Avengers: Doomsday. The Thunderbolts' actions, whether successful, failed, or resulting in unintended consequences (especially with potentially volatile members like Sentry), could directly lead to or significantly escalate the crisis the Avengers will face.
4. Potential Catalysts for Disaster: Rather than solving a problem, the Thunderbolts might inadvertently cause or worsen the situation. Their potentially flawed mission or internal conflicts could unleash the very "doomsday" scenario hinted at in the Avengers title.
5. MCU Narrative Integration: Ultimately, the article positions Thunderbolts as a key bridge film, using its unique team dynamic and likely morally grey storyline to establish major stakes and plot points that will culminate in the next major Avengers crossover event. It suggests the film will have significant repercussions for the wider MCU.
