Thunderbolts team members looking up at something
D23 Brazil brought tons of news for Marvel fans, with a new special look at Thunderbolts* among them. The action-packed clip shows the titular team getting acquainted, with the Red Guardian christening the group as - you guessed it - the Thunderbolts at the end. This is immediately rejected by Bucky Barnes , Ghost , and Yelena Belova , with the title card following and adding the infamous asterisk after the name. So...
Alexei Shostakov, the Red Guardian, seems to give them the name in the heat of a defining moment in the movie, but Bucky, Ghost, and Yelena immediately frown at the name, with Alexei insisting"It's a cool name." Apparently, the team's name may be a recurring gag throughout the movie.
Why Can’t the Team Call Itself “Thunderbolts”? Close When Alexei calls them"Thunderbolts," Bucky immediately counters:"We can't call ourselves that." Indeed, this name sounds like a direct nod to Thaddeus"Thunderbolt" Ross , whom many people thought would be the person who got the team together in the first place. But it's Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine who does it, and Ross isn't even on the call sheet for Thunderbolts*.
What Other Names May the Team Claim in the Movie? ✕ Remove Ads In the comics, Thunderbolt Ross joins the team, but not at its inception. Instead, it's Baron Zemo , posing as Citizen V, who names the team after a quote misattributed to Thomas Randolph:"Justice, like lightning, ever should appear to few men's ruin, but to all men's fear." The line becomes the team's symbol.
