Thunderbolts*'s post-credits scene has already leaked, but two more major moments from Marvel Studios' latest have now found their way online ahead of the movie's official release on Friday.
Spoilers follow.
The first will likely be considered the film's standout action sequence, as the team bands together in an effort to defeat the now fully powered and suited-up Sentry (Lewis Pullman), who has fallen under CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) influence.
Sentry displays all manner of superhuman abilities as he easily holds our antiheroes at bay, but refuses to kill his former allies when Val instructs him to "finish the job."
Next, the Thunderbolts regroup after managing to prevent Bob from unleashing the darkness of "The Void" (a group hug works wonders), and approach Val to apprehend her (with a few broken bones if Red Guardian gets his way). The ever wily CIA Director has formulated a plan to keep herself out of prison, however, and the team follows her right into a press conference she put together to announce the New Avengers.
The group decides to play along, but Yelena whispers "we own you now" in Val's ear before closing her eyes and feeling a sense of purpose for the first time in years.
