And now, in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier confirmed that the second post-credits scene was indeed filmed with Avengers: Doomsday in mind. He also explained why a shocking death in the movie was important \u2014 it was meant to show the difference between the New Avengers and the original Avengers.

However, when asked whether the New Avengers would be the first superheroes to meet Marvel\u2019s first family, the Fantastic Four, he stayed tight-lipped, saying, \u201cYou know as much as I know about that,\u201d Schreier said. \u201cI mean, I was there, but I didn\u2019t direct that scene. That comes from the set of a movie that is officially beginning production on Monday.\u201d Thunderbolts ends with a tease shot by a completely different director. According to him, even the final shot in the Watchtower was a last-minute addition, filmed just a month ago. \u201cI was very happy to be there and lucky to be there,\u201d Schreier said. \u201cIt was so fun to see your characters go off into this bigger context.

Fans were left confused, questioning the point of his character. However, according to the director, this sudden death was important to the storyline, showing that in a world of misfits, no one is truly safe. Although the new group has taken on the title of \u201cNew Avengers,\u201d with the U.S. government ready to sanction them, the filmmakers explained that because these characters are killers and villains, during the pause in filming caused by the writer\u2019s strike, they decided to add this shocking death to intensify the movie.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adboxtop adsizes\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFor who these characters are, it should live up to those movies that have attention to \u2019em, where you really don\u2019t know who\u2019s going to survive it,\u201d Schreier said. \u201cI know that\u2019s tricky in today\u2019s era where things get out before movies, but within the context of the film, it felt like we needed to take a swing like that so that you didn\u2019t really know who was going to make it, and also so that it was clear that it could have been any one of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/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-director-confirms-major-doomsday-theory-in-post-credit-scene-explains-why-shocking-death-was-important-9979848\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before Marvel\u2019s new movie Thunderbolts* even hit theatres, its leaked post-credit scene set the internet ablaze.
