WARNING: THUNDERBOLTS ... ER, NEW AVENGERS SPOILERS AHEAD! DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS.
Ready?
OK.
Thunderbolts* is getting a re-branding, but it all makes complete sense, especially with the post-credits scene. The movie is now New Avengers, or maybe as the poster says, it'll read as *New Avengers. That's why there was an asterisk in the first place, as we recently explained: the superhero group that forms in the movie jokingly names itself after Florence Pugh's Black Widow's youth soccer team before they're rebranded as the "New Avengers" by big baddie Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus).
Makes sense, and it's fun!
All hail the New Avengers.
