I say it is about time we get some dark Marvel films like Thunderbolts*. Whereas I used to be by no means a fan of a dark and gritty therapy given to say, Superman, over at the Warners’ DCEU, I am far more versatile in the case of Marvel Studios and their characters. As a result of Marvel Comics has prided itself on representing “the world exterior your window,” and I do not find out about you, however that view is trying fairly grim today. Look, I am a longtime fan of Bucky Barnes. I have never spent all this time and emotion over the years studying and watching his tales as a result of he skips by a grassy subject singing songs. I am right here to endure (emotionally).
With this in thoughts, Kevin Feige stated in an interview with Marvel Entertainment that Thunderbolts*’ give attention to subjects like psychological sickness and bodily harm arises from a need to maneuver the way forward for the MCU ahead. “That is our thirty-sixth film, and we attempt to evolve, and we attempt to develop, we attempt to hold doing various things, and we additionally, as I all the time say, look to the comics,” Feige stated. When requested what he hopes fans will get from Jake Schreier’s movie, Feige stated that he was trying ahead to them “seeing one thing somewhat extra deep, somewhat extra significant that may contact them in a approach they have not felt earlier than.”
Provided that director Jake Schreier’s not too long ago shared to Collider that the movie’s character design for The Void was impressed by shadows left behind by victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I might say that Feige’s evaluation of Thunderbolts* is warranted. I do not even suppose I have the phrases for a way that may make me really feel once I see The Void onscreen. If Thunderbolts manages to hit its characters’ emotional beats with depth and dignity, then Schreier and Marvel Studios’s huge inventive swing will repay immensely.
