THUNDERBOLTS* Rumored To Introduce Valentina Allegra De Fontaine's [SPOILER] Group

Valentina Allegra De Fontaine has her hands in numerous pies in the comics, and the Thunderbolts* movie is rumored to introduce a certain organization that could have major ramifications for the MCU.

To say that Contessa Valentina Allegra De Fontaine is something of a shady figure would be quite the understatement, and while the character has yet to make her mark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a meaningful way, she's had her fingers in numerous pies in the comics for years.

Val (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is expected to form the team in the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie, but it seems she may also be fronting another shadowy organization.

Possible spoilers follow.

According to The Cosmic Circus, Val's OXE Group (or O.X.E.) will factor into the movie. How big a role this organization will play remains to be seen, but it could have major implication for the winder MCU going forward.

In the comics, OXE is described as the largest holding company in the World, and has ties to the secret Kratos Club, "a group of industrial multimillionaires whose goal is to use their influence to ensure that the right things get done, no matter what." The more recent incarnation of the group is known as O.X.E., and is affiliated with the Outer Circle, another organization that has influenced the world by controlling global politics and government.

This version of O.X.E. was actually founded by Allegra de Fontaine’s Life-Model Decoy, but it seems unlikely that the movie would adapt such a recent comic book arc.

Again, we have no idea if OXE/O.X.E. will have a significant presence in the movie, but if they do feature, you can bet we'll be seeing a lot more of them in the future.

Photos from the set of Thunderbolts* have begun to find their way online, and we recently got a look at Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) sporting a longer hairstyle and goatee. 

Though other characters might well be added, the Thunderbolts roster currently consists of Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), John Walker/U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), and Taskmaster (Kurylenko).

As for Sentry, Lewis Pullman (Salem's Lot, Top Gun Maverick) recently joined the cast as the powerful, unstable character, replacing The Walking Dead alum Steven Yeun in the role.

There were rumors that Harrison Ford's Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross would be involved, but that's yet to be confirmed. Black Widow's Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz) and Bill Foster (Laurence Fishburne) from Ant-Man and the Wasp are also rumored to appear.

Thunderbolts* is currently set to be released in theaters on May 2, 2025.

Remember how cool is was when they decided to make Sharon Carter The Power Broker. Instead having it be Fisk or Hammer or Osborn or anyone other than Sharon Carter

@BruceWayng - it if kind of shocking though as she was on Steve’s side of things. Yet, still nothing on her end though but it might be brought to light in this movie. It’ll be confusing for those that haven’t seen FATWS

@BruceWayng - The only way that rises an inch from the depths of world class stupidity is if that Sharon is a Skrull. The chances of that, sadly, are low.

Even the leaks are uninteresting.

Knowing Marvel, all the girls live and they just kill the guys.

@AvalonX - I get ya but out of the OG Avengers they did kill off one female (Natasha) and one male (Tony),so… I mean you can make the argument that they put Cap out to pasture, but he’s theoretically still around. And I mean what happened to Chadwick couldn’t be helped. So I don’t really think that Marvel has an agenda of killing off its male characters.

@StSteven - Cap's dead. He died off-screen. She-Hulk and Hulk talk about whether or not he died a virgin.

StSteven
StSteven - 5/14/2024, 10:54 PM
@ObserverIO - Right, but I think that everyone is assuming that he died since only Sam and Bucky have seen him alive after he went back to return the stones. It’s very possible that he’s still alive and just enjoying his time in anonymity and may resurface at some point.

Industrial multimillionaires? I’m not a multimillionaire but they broke. Tony stark would shrug them off he was still around. They need to up it to billionaires.

I smell MCU disconnected poo like Eternals & Secret Invasion that wind up going nowhere & leaving unresolved potentially great characters to sadly fade away.

If they change it to Dark Avengers then that shit lame af, yo.

@Doomsday8888 - I mean they are more Dark Avengers than Thunderbolts. They shoulda just done Thunderbolts like the original comics, but with MCU villains.

After HYDRA I don't really need another world-influencing secret cabal. Just give me Thunderbolts vs. Masters of Evil.
PatchesOhulihan
PatchesOhulihan - 5/14/2024, 10:17 AM
@bkmeijer1 - Aren't the Masters of Evil a group(cabal) intent on conquering(influencing) the planet(world). I'm guessing they aren't posting about it on instagram or FB, and aren't a registered business/LLC/nonprofit, so safe to say they are secret as well.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 5/14/2024, 11:37 AM
@PatchesOhulihan - the version I mean is just Zemo and a couple of evil buddies going after the Thunderbolts, considering they are a bunch of super soldier that Zemo doesn't like. Some political intrigue is fine though

@AvalonX - No no no that’s NOT how it works on this site! Have you not been paying attention?!? Everything that we say here, literally EVERYTHING, has to be our straight-forward, honest-to-God feelings on a particular topic. NO KIDDING ALLOWED! You hear me ?!? You hear me?!? You just stop it right now!!!

I mean, if you need an example of how to keep it straight to the matter at hand without any superficial nonsense just see my previous posts. This one in particular should hope to prove as a guide as to avoid absurdity and random stupidity. 😉

Is there any chance the (movie) Thunderbolt's label comes from General/President Ross and something else ?
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/14/2024, 5:36 AM
@JDL - perhaps though I don’t think Ross has ever been called Thunderbolt in the MCU.

The rumor is that Yelena compares the team to her childhood soccer team she was apart of that were called “The Thunderbolts”.
