Is Marvel Developing A THUNDERBOLTS TV Series For Netflix?
It would make sense though, given the enormously positive response to the first glimpse of Warner Bros.' supervillian team-up flick, Suicide Squad.
Salt at the ready! The Hashtag Show (via MCU Exchange) reckon Marvel is developing a TV show based on The Thunderbolts - a team made up mainly of villainous characters, similar to DC's Suicide Squad. It's just been announced that Marvel has ongoing plans for its Netflix output, and that we can expect a new show "every six months". Those initial plans obviously revolve around multiple seasons for the 5 shows we know about (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders), but surely they'll be throwing something new into the mix at some point?
It's worth noting that there are many potential team members that have already been introduced in various movies and TV shows (such as Mr. Hyde, Crossbones, Absorbing Man, Grant Ward), and more we know are set to debut (like Baron Zemo, The Punisher, Elektra, members of The Inhumans). So yes, it's entirety plausible that Marvel and Netflix are considering The Thunderbolts for a potential new series, but we have to look at the source here.
The Hashtag Show posted some early Avengers: Age Of Ultron rumors that turned out to be on point, but their last claim that Matthew McConaughey was in the running to play Norman Osborn in the Spider-Man reboot was never confirmed. It may be the case, but until we know one way or the other, don't put too much stock in this just yet.
