Marvel fans have a theory about the formation of the Thunderbolts – and Valentina's motives

Thunderbolts* trailer.

Sam Wilson has only just touched down in Captain America: Brave New World, but already fans are predicting what's in store with them when they run into the Thunderbolts later this year. The new film starring Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, and Sebastian Stan will see them unite in a ragtag team of heroes against Valentina Allegra De Fontaine, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. It's this joint aim that one fan thinks they've figured out and would explain why in the latest preview, Pugh's Yelena tells Valentina to kindly eat shit.

The fan over on Reddit hypothesized that the rough and ready-enhanced individuals who are all surprised to see each other at an unnamed test facility do so as a trial run for the meek and mild Lewis Pullman's Bob (who is really The Sentry). Val is hoping that The Sentry will be an Avengers alternative, and Yelena and company are wandering in as lambs to the slaughter. They somehow make it out alive, and all join up to get back at the woman who wronged them all.
