This might be the explanation for the asterisk in Marvel’s Thunderbolts*
The Avengers will supposedly reassemble next year in Captain America: Brave New World under the leadership of Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). It's not exactly a spoiler. It's what the rumors say and what Marvel suggested. The new Brave New World trailers will also share this big plot point. But we won't really see the Avengers again in earnest until Doomsday and Secret Wars.
That makes Thunderbolts* the biggest MCU crossover in years. We'll have a team of multiple protagonists, exceeding the likes of Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Marvels, and Deadpool & Wolverine. It might be a team of former antiheroes and villains from the MCU, but it still counts.
This brings me to the unusual title of the movie. Marvel styled it from a simple Thunderbolts to Thunderbolts*. Yes, that's Thunderbolts-asterisk, and that asterisk is one of the film's biggest mysteries.
Why did Marvel add the symbol to the title? Is it supposed to be called something else? Or is it supposed just to annoy us? On the latter point, I'll refer to the film as Thunderbolts henceforward.
Luckily, there's been a flurry of Thunderbolts leaks in recent weeks. We saw the D23 Thunderbolts trailer, which Marvel will surely release publicly in the coming months. We also have the first Thunderbolts plot details out in the wild, and they match some of the action in the trailer.
All of that prompted new speculation about that asterisk in the title, and I'm about to tell you all about it. I have to warn you that if the Thunderbolts title speculation is accurate, big spoilers will follow below.
