Marvel Studios unveils a new Thunderbolts title logo with a mysterious asterisk.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige appeared at the Disney presentation at CinemaCon 2024 where he revealed the updated logo for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe installment directed by Jake Schreier (Robot and Frank). Unlike the first logo which was a crumbling stone typeface, the revised version is much more simplified with the added asterisk.
“Yes, you’ll notice the asterisk on Thunderbolts,” Feige said. “That is the official title of Thunderbolts, and we won’t talk more about that until after the movie comes out.”
While Feige remains mum about the asterisk as well as the plot of Thunderbolts, a THR source who read a previous draft of the MCU movie reports that the story “centers on villains and antiheroes going on a mission that was supposed to end with their deaths.” Thunderbolts star Wyatt Russell praised the script for being a story unlike anything the MCU has seen.
The story that I think they’ve come up with is really interesting — I know parts of the story and how the story works, but I can’t talk about it. It’s not a straightforward Marvel movie as you’ve seen in the past,” Russell said. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. I think it will be something hopefully Marvel fans look at and go, ‘This is something a little different.’ As far as we are approaching it, it’s time to go to work a little bit. It’s time to make a good Marvel movie.”
Who stars in Thunderbolts?
Directed by Jake Schreier with a script by Beef writer Lee Sung Jin, Thunderbolts will see Florence Pugh reprise her Black Widow role as Yelena Belova.
