by

Attention: This article contains spoilers from the Thunderbolts movie. Actress Florence Pugh, who portrays Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, discusses the Thunderbolts post-credits scene and its impact on Avengers: Doomsday. The MCU’s Phase 5 has concluded with the Thunderbolts film serving as the finale, marking the start of Phase 6 this summer. With several characters from Thunderbolts expected to reappear in Avengers: Doomsday, the post-credits scene of the latest MCU film subtly sets up their future appearances.

ScreenRant’s Joe Deckelmeier recently interviewed Florence Pugh about the final installment of Thunderbolts, and she shared insights about the post-credits scene and its impact on Avengers: Doomsday. When asked if the Russo brothers, who will lead Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, directed the Thunderbolts post-credits scene, Pugh confirmed, “Indeed it was! Just a few weeks ago.” She also discussed whether her team is prepared for the higher risks approaching:

Gosh, I’m not sure. I guess it’s clear they still have some growing pains to work through. By the end of Thunderbolts*, they’re starting to find common ground, but it’s like they’ve been thrown together without really knowing how to communicate effectively. In other words, they’re a team, but they could benefit from some team-building exercises and maybe even counseling sessions. They’ve got the talent, but they need to learn how to channel it as a unit. And in that final scene, you can sense the progress they’ve made, their evolution, if you will.

What Florence Pugh’s Comments Mean For The Thunderbolts* Post-Credits Scene

In the post-credits scene of the movie “Thunderbolts,” not only did we get a sneak peek at the upcoming film “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” but there was also much discussion about the current status of the Avengers within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As the ship of these new characters appears in the final moments of the film, it opens up many questions about their role and acceptance as the new team. One aspect that Pugh highlighted is the struggle these characters face as they learn to work together effectively. However, the post-credits scene also hints that their transition into the New Avengers may not be easily accepted within the broader MCU.

One of the notable Marvel Easter eggs and references in the comic series Thunderbolts is that Captain America isn’t particularly fond of the New Avengers, an aspect that will undoubtedly be explored further in Avengers: Doomsday. Although the characters from Thunderbolts have faced formidable foes such as Sentry and The Void, it seems they might struggle when confronting someone as powerful as Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, according to Pugh’s comments. It appears that Avengers: Doomsday will challenge the New Avengers even more, with Thunderbolts serving as a starting point for their growth and development.
