THUNDERBOLTS*: Officially Released Post-Credits Scene Reveals First Look At AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

If you missed Thunderbolts* in theaters, then you can now get your first look at Avengers: Doomsday with this officially released post-credits scene from the movie that teases a long-awaited crossover.

Thunderbolts* opened to overwhelmingly positive reviews in May, but only managed to gross $381 million at the worldwide box office. So, where did it all go wrong for the MCU's *New Avengers? 

Marvel Studios cleverly marketed Thunderbolts* as a superhero movie with indie credentials. However, at a time when moviegoers will only turn up for event-level superhero films, that and a cast of characters from streaming wasn't enough to convince people to buy a ticket.

It's a shame, too, because Thunderbolts* featured the biggest tease for Avengers: Doomsday yet, with a lengthy post-credits scene directed by the Russo Brothers. Now, that's been released online, offering an HD look at the team's new costumes, the updated Avengers Tower, and the arrival of the Fantastic Four's ship.

Is Marvel's First Family aboard? What's brought the team to Earth-616? These are questions the Russos will answer in Avengers: Doomsday, as this is a very specific scene that clearly feeds into the upcoming movie's narrative.

The same arguably can't be said for Captain America: Brave New World's frustratingly vague stinger featuring a conversation between Sam Wilson and The Leader, which didn't appear to have any real meaning.

Thunderbolts*'s post-credits scene was shot with Jake Schreier on set "to make sure it was honest to where our characters were," he recently explained. "[We’re] giving them over to this whole new world and new scope, and [we] want them to function in that way."

Being there on set was "very fun to watch your buddies go on to this grander scale...and see them directed in another context and on a different level of scope than we had been treating it," the filmmaker added.

Check out Thunderbolts*'s post-credits scene below. 

In Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes - Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.

Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late?

"Thunderbolts* redefines superhero storytelling to deliver a moving and powerful story that does for the 'Multiverse Saga' what The Avengers did for the 'Infinity Saga' in 2012," we said in our review. "These heroes have earned their place on a Wheaties box."

The cast of Thunderbolts* will be led by Florence Pugh as Yelena Boleva, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, and Lewis Pullman as "Bob."

Written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo, and directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts* is now available on Digital, ahead of its 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD release on July 29.

Those ‘jokes’ were painful to endure.

The film is good and all, but Sam and Bucky being unable to call the Avengers to help on serious threats like Red Hulk and Sentry is a huge mistake narrative wise.

This ain't Phase Two anymore when guys like Stark and Rogers never called for backup, so Marvel not taking advantage of its biggest strength, interconnectivity, is what led to this new saga's lack of direction and downfall.

@MGSSnake1988 - Never understood this critique...There is no Avengers. There haven't been a team since Civil War.

@THEKENDOMAN - I just finished Thunderbolts*. I should've given it a chance in theaters.

This movie is awesome. No filler, genuine chemistry, heartfelt, and very self-aware.

I wish it would've done better at the box-office, but here's hoping they continue with quality product moving forward.

... nuff' said.

July has begun!

25 days until Fantastic Four. 11 Days until Superman. 3 days until Sandman.
23 days until SDCC... and I guess Ironheart was here too.

I wish this movie made more money. it had heart, characters i cared for and was well written. Can't wait to rewatch this movie. Hopefully they have the same great chemistry in Doomsday like they did in this movie

The movie was as broken as his shield. Why would he have not fixed it after 14 months?

Really liked THUNDERBOLTS*. I think this movie will gain more traction and fans as it makes its way into the homes of viewers.

@PC04 - Was refreshingly good and genuinely entertaining. Best character work they've done in a while too. Don't really understand why so many comments hate on the humour either.

@BrainySleep - Me either. To me, the humor landed. The action was good. Sentry was cool. Would like to see more of him. Loved seeing Bucky be an actual threat again.

Those suits are so bad. I hope it's just for this scene. Kind of like how Thanos' design changed from Avengers 1.

Can the Red Guardian character die soon. I was enjoying watching that again right to point he appeared.. then the scene is just played for laughs and ruined.

I can't read Josh's excerpt from his review (I mean "our" review) and not laugh.

My opinion on this post credit scene is that now that Yelena, Alexei, Walker, Ava and BOB have officially have their Avenger status (with the exception of Bucky, who already have his because of his involvement against Thanos), they will be put their to the test in the coming years ahead, resulting in encountering a multiversal threat like Dr. Doom and forces from other alternative earths like Fantastic Four and the X-Men.

With only 2 years left of this saga, they will definitely earn their place and the name, "Avengers".
