Thunderbolts*
Summary
One character due to appear inThunderboltshas made theMCU ’s most knock-down character even more senseless . Thunderboltswill boast a host ofMCU antihero and former villainsteaming up , most probable under some duress . The squad represent some of the MCU ’s more minimise fibre , whose powers are n’t typically on the same level as the likes of Thor or Doctor Strange , making their teamwork even more compelling as they will probably be underdog in whatever missionary station Valentina Allegra de Fontaine assigns to them .
This is peculiarly unfeigned if cast rumors are to be believed . Not only willThunderboltssee the likes of Ghost and Taskmaster swap villainous roles for heroic ones , but all signs point towards the theory that they will be move toe - to - toe with a character so powerful they would even give Hulk a run for his money . The anticipation forMarvel ’s answer to Superman , namely Sentry , is accomplish fever pitch astheThunderboltsrelease datenears , mostly because it ’s a character like nothing the MCU has seen thus far . That would be true , at least , were it not forSecret Invasion .
Several MCU characters return for Phase 5 ’s Thunderbolts , a team of antiheroes and reformed villains seek to follow in the Avengers ' stride .
Sentry’s MCU Introduction Makes G’iah’s Story Even More Confusing
Secret Invasionwas a badmouth attempt to adapt the amusing run of the same name , introducing the construct that Skrulls have infiltrated and copy the inhabitant of Earth for several years , which in the end amount to very minuscule . It also revealed that Fury had direct an military operation to collect desoxyribonucleic acid samples from the MCU ’s A-one - powered characters after the Battle of Earth , dubbed " The Harvest , " which was condensed into a normal taken by two Skrulls , Gravik and G’iah .
Though Gravik died at G’iah ’s hands , the series leave the latter as a survive crack - Skrull capable of deployingthe big businessman of several MCU characters . She was then evidently enter by Olivia Colman ’s Sonya Falsworth to work on an unnamed clandestine task , wide presume to be a British superhero squad .

G’iah is now one ofthe MCU ’s most powerful charactersfor this reason alone , but her rising to that condition is about to be sidelined by Sentry . AlthoughSecret Invasiondid not stick the landing , Marvel could have at least awarded it some relevancy by making G’iah the overpowered enemythe thunderbolt are tax with subduing . Instead , that role will apparently go to Sentry .
Instead , due to the poor reception , G’iah may well be sail under the rug as the MCU forges ahead with novel characters who could seemingly wipe the floor with a litany of underdog characters like most of the Thunderbolts . There ’s a chance she could return inAvengers 5orSecret Wars , but the audience awareness ofSecret Invasionbeing so low may make that too difficult . It feels like the only adept chance to bring back G’iah is now gone .
Why The MCU’s Many Overpowered Characters Are Becoming A Problem
G’iah and Sentry will now be the latest persona to contribute to a power - scaling job in the MCU . Even in its earliest sidereal day , reconciling the fact that Hawkeye and Black Widow tolerate shoulder to shoulder with Thor with their obvious disconnection in great power has been a unmanageable project for the MCU . The franchise has had to importantly nerf the Hulk to ensure his compatriots look just as , if not more , powerful by comparison for instance .
Since then , more and more characters like Captain Marvel , Doctor Strange , and Scarlet Witch make including someone like Kate Bishop in the Avengers lineup experience almost ludicrous . Although the gulf in power between the titulary squad inThunderbolts*and Sentry is constipate to make for some compelling showing , Sentry ’s arrival adds yet another reason to question what role understated characters can play in a franchise so crammed with so many godlike being . At least they will provide plenty of underdogs for audiences to rootle for in the coming years .
