In Theaters: ****^Thunderbolts (2025)

I know Thunderbolts has not done as well at the box office as most Marvel movies, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The only part I didn't like was one of the characters being eliminated before the movie really even gets started.  But the others doe very well, each having particular strengths.  They have all been working for Valentina (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) who is under investigation and wants them to kill each other.  Only one is killed, Antonia Dreykov (Olga Kurylenko).  However the others are all in peril as they are trapped, and the room will soon be incinerated.  Yelena (Florence Pugh), John Walker (Wyatt Russell) and Ava Star (Hannah John-Kamen) are all surprised to meet somebody new, Bob (Lewis Pullman).  They are eventually joined by two persons who were not trapped, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) who is now a congressman and investigating Valentina and Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour) who is Yelena's father.

This movie deals a lot with personal regrets and the void.  Turns our Bob who seems to have woken up not knowing where he is, is in fact Sentry, a super super hero who has been developed by a research project of Valentina.  However the project was destroyed to hide evidence in light of the investigation.  

It is while Sentry is unconscious when things get really bad.  This releases a Sentry deep in depression which he calls the void.  everyone is sucked into the void and turns to shadow.  Each of the team members must face their worse memories.  

Lots of fun and lots of action.  Towards the end they are introduces as the New Avengers.
