(Also Read: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, pause Doomsday shoot to watch Thunderbolts, share message for 'new Avengers') The Marvel film Thunderbolts* has now been re-titled as The New Avengers. Turns out the film's cast wasn't joking in the trailer when they decided on Thunderbolts only as a temporary name for their misfit group. Because the mystery of the asterisk in the title is finally revealed, indicating that it was, in fact, just a temporary name. In an interesting marketing decision, the studio decided to change the film's title based on the film's ending, which saw CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) announce the group's rebrand as The New Avengers. A title card after the post-credits scene reads, 'The New Avengers will return'. The film that was released on May 1 in India stars Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, Wendell Pierce, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Internet reacts While some expressed excitement about the title change from Thunderbolts to The New Avengers, others believe this marketing stunt is a major 'spoiler' for those who haven't watched it yet. 'Isn't this a spoiler??? They should have probably waited like a week before doing that,' wrote one fan reacting to the news on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote, 'Um… spoilers? I've seen the movie but this is just desperation – why would you ruin it for everyone like that?' Some thought that Thunderbolts was a better name for the film, with one Marvel fan commenting on Instagram, 'Thunderbolts is such a cool name.' One posted a GIF of Paresh Rawal from Hera Pheri, writing, 'Mast joke mara re (What a joke).' One hurt fan hilariously wrote, 'Not my Avengers.'

The supporting cast includes Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Wyatt Russell, and Lewis Pullman in key roles. Last year in September, the makers unveiled the teaser trailer of Thunderbolts. It begins with Yelena Belova confiding to her father Alexei Shostakov that she feels empty. 'There is something wrong with me, an emptiness. I am just drifting and I don't have a purpose,' she says. When she gets trapped in a vault-like room with the other misfits, she realises that someone wants all of them dead. The voice in the background reveals that although they are brought up with the belief that there are good and bad guys, in reality, 'There are bad guys, and there are worse guys. And nothing else." Based on Kurt Busiek's comic series of the same title, Thunderbolts marks the end of Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is bankrolled by Kevin Feige with Scarlett Johansson, Brian Chapek, Jason Tamez, and Louis D'Esposito acting as executive producers. Releasing on May 1 in India, Thunderbolts will compete with Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 at the box office.
