For as long as there’s been an Avengers movie, we at FTN have wanted to see a team-up of the supervillains too… something to really give the heroes a challenge.
Not it seems it may not be that impossible…
James Gunn is almost certainly on to a good thing with Guardians of the Galaxy (our review) and he’s just it looks like he’s going to helm the second one too (here)… but what might he do after that? Well…
Talking to Screenrant via Cinemablend, Gunn was asked what he’d like to do next: “I was saying to Kevin [Feige], we were sitting on set together on one of the days he visited and I said, ‘You know, I really want to make Thunderbolts,’ and he said, ‘James, if Guardians does well you’ll be able to do whatever you want so we’ll see what happens. “
In the comics the Thunderbolts were a group of reformed bad guys who basically filled in when the heroes were off saving the universe. And it might be a fun angle for the Marvel movies – imagine Loki, Red Skull, Arnim Zola, Samuel Stern – The Leader – Justin Hammer and maybe even the Mandarin or Ultron all teaming up to take on the Avengers… now that would be a movie worth seeing.
