What started as a wild road trip with a ragtag crew of semi-reformed villains has transformed into something much meaningful, eventually tying into the larger web of the franchise. But unlike the usual Marvel extravaganza, <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/hollywood\/thunderbolts-first-review-on-rotten-tomatoes-mcu-film-gets-88-rating-critics-say-misfits-mightve-just-saved-the-franchise-total-game-changer-9973965\/\" class=\"\">Thunderbolts stands out with its raw, gritty exploration of grief, addiction, and redemption.<\/a> But don\u2019t worry, fans of explosive action\u2014this film never forgets its roots. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Florence Pugh\u2019s Yelena, Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, Ghost, Red Guardian, Taskmaster, and Bob all unite to face a disaster.

We\u2019re breaking down the events, from shocking deaths to jaw-dropping plot twists, and what\u2019s next in store.

Turns out, Bob comes with a complicated past, having dealt with substance abuse, and for most of the screen time, he\u2019s seen cozying up to the shady new CIA director, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who\u2019s been trying to create the next big superhero. He undergoes a complete makeover, gets a shiny new suit, and a new name, Sentry, all in the hopes of turning him into the face of a new era of heroes. Val\u2019s assistant (Geraldine Viswanathan) warns her this is a terrible idea, considering Bob\u2019s struggles with mental health, addiction, and past trauma. But, of course, Val doesn\u2019t listen, ignoring every red flag raised by her assistant. (By the way, Redditors have some wild theories about her assistant\u2019s role in the upcoming MCU franchise, especially with the special attention given to her Fieldine Birdie necklace, but we can save that for later.) Anyway, back to Bob, he goes against Yelena, Bucky, Red Guardian, Walker, and Ghost, but when he doesn\u2019t finish them off, Valentina gives him a side eye. Bob then starts flaunting his levelled up power, calling himself a \u201cgod\u201d and placing himself above Val. After a confrontation, Bob nearly kills Val, but her assistant, Mel, steps in and stops him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also read: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/hollywood\/thunderbolts-first-review-on-rotten-tomatoes-mcu-film-gets-88-rating-critics-say-misfits-mightve-just-saved-the-franchise-total-game-changer-9973965\/\" class=\"\">Thunderbolts* first review on Rotten Tomatoes: MCU film gets 88% rating; critics say \u2018misfits\u2019 might\u2019ve just saved the franchise, \u2018total game changer\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"subscriber_hide\" href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/subscribe\/upsc-special\/?utm_source=IESITE&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Inarticle\" title=\"Festive offer\" data-ie-event-category=\"Event_banner\" data-ie-event-action=\"Article\" data-ie-event-label=\"Desktop\"><img class=\"lazyloading\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" data-lazy-type=\"lazyloading-image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.indianexpress.com\/2025\/04\/UPSC_banner_640x70.jpg\" alt=\"Festive offer\" width=\"640px\" height=\"99px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Void\u2019s Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s a darker part of Bob\u2019s mind called The Void\u2014basically, Pullman\u2019s alter ego. So just to clear it up: Bob is Sentry, and Bob is also The Void. When things go south and the so-called \u201ckill switch\u201d meant to shut him down fails, The Void takes over. This monstrous side is the result of the same experiment that gave Sentry his powers. He unleashes chaos, starts turning people into literal shadows, and covers all of NYC in darkness. Meanwhile, Yelena is dealing with her own trauma from the Red Room, she\u2019s haunted by flashbacks of the worst moments from her past and her battle with alcohol addiction. In one of those dark moments, she sees Bob (as Sentry) in another reality. Bob tells her he\u2019s not in control of The Void anymore. Together, they try to dodge The Void\u2019s attacks, but they\u2019re stuck\u2014until the rest of the Thunderbolts show up to help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who Dies?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) dies. This death was expected, especially since Kurylenko\u2019s name wasn\u2019t in the Avengers: Doomsday cast list. The character gets a headshot from Ghost. And yes, Val is alive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adboxtop adsizes\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s With the Asterisk in Thunderbolts<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">*<\/span>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The * in Thunderbolts is a nod to the team\u2019s real identity as the \u201cNew Avengers.\u201d\u00a0 When the Thunderbolts manage to stop Bob (Sentry) and save New York, Valentina sees the team as the answer to Earth\u2019s vulnerability. That\u2019s when she officially declares them the \u201cNew Avengers\u201d to the world. Even though they don\u2019t trust Val, the team accepts the new title, mostly to keep her in check and use the Avengers name for good. And then, mid-credits? Sam Wilson (aka the new Cap) is suing them over the Avengers name.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Happens to Bob\/The Sentry?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bob isn\u2019t the prime villain in the movie. He\u2019s not in control of his powers, which largely comes from his addiction.\u00a0 But by the end of the movie, Bob seems to have regained control of himself. He\u2019s seen in the Avengers Tower, joking with the team, and even doing the dishes. The team knows Bob has helped save the day, but he\u2019s also aware of his limits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Thunderbolts<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">*<\/span> has any Cameos?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlike most of the MCU movies, Thunderbolts* didn\u2019t put any efforts to bring some big Marvel faces to hype the movie, rather they tried to keep it a standalone story only. But in the post-credits scene, there is a hint at something bigger \u2013 an interdimensional ship that might be tied to the Fantastic Four.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How many Post-credit Scenes are there?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two. Out of which, one is just for some good laughs\u2014with Red Guardian joking over a packet of \u2018Wheaties\u2019 featuring his face alongside other Thunderbolts, trying to convince a buyer to purchase it. However, the last post-credit scene shows<a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/hollywood\/thunderbolts-post-credits-scene-leak-explained-mcu-trolls-its-own-team-with-cease-and-desist-while-teasing-the-franchises-future-9976686\/\" class=\"\"> the arrival of the Fantastic Four<\/a>, Marvel\u2019s upcoming movie. The team might be the new face of Earth\u2019s protectors, especially with Avengers: Doomsday on the way. Yelena, Bucky, and the rest of the team will likely play key roles in future MCU projects. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\nif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\nn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '444470064056909');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/hollywood\/thunderbolts-ending-explained-shocking-death-bobs-fate-final-scene-what-happens-to-val-and-how-many-post-credit-scenes-are-there-9978282\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just when you thought you had cracked the code on Thunderbolts with all the leaked post-credit sequences and endless theories floating around the asterisks and AvengerZ, the MCU film, giving this group of intriguing misfits 2 hours and 6 minutes of limelight, comes in and pulls the rug right out from under you.
