Thunderbolts* could have been completely different, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie was once set to take place in a single location. The cast of Thunderbolts*includes MCU fan-favorites, like Bucky Barnes and Yelena Belova, as well as characters who could grow to be loved, such as Ghost, and newcomers to the franchise, with Lewis Pullman's Bob, aka Sentry/The Void, being the most interesting of the bunch. Instead of having to introduce many characters at once, which caused problems for Eternals, Thunderbolts*'s story focuses on taking many established characters on a self-discovery journey.
