I was worried when they said the initial script was essentially a Yelena movie. I just don’t want them to mess up John Walker. He was SO GOOD in FatWS. And it would have been so easy to have made him a joke or a 1-dimensional villain.
I’ve got my fingers crossed that they’re not that careless with him. His fantastic performance made him an obvious addition to the Thunderbolts lineup.
I’m concerned that none of the characters leaked so far are just straight up simple selfish bank robbers.
I’m fine with the later secret agent and dimension hopping stuff. But the heart of the Thunderbolts is supposed to be people who got a bad deal from life deciding who they’re going to be when life finally gives then a break (and then takes it away again). I don’t think that story works as a spy thriller - not for the first introduction, anyway.
Either way, I’ll probably check it out to see what they do with John Walker and Yelena. I’m just concerned that they’re going to waste the “Thunderbolts” name on it, and not be able to do the other stuff later.
