Post news about the film and discuss.
They're criminals. There's a difference between how the movie frames a character to its audience and how that character is perceived in-universe.They weren't villains.
A villain is someone like Hela, Thanos, Apocalypse, Magneto, Malekith, etc.
I watched Hawkeye and didn't see Yelena as a Hawkeye villain... thats like calling Iron Man a Villain for trying to take down the Winter Soldier in Civil War and fighting against Steve Rogers.
Red Guardian was a prisoner, so as most of the Gotg. Someone who has a troubled past doesn't automatically make them a villain.
For me, the roster is just bland.I don't love the lineup. People are complaining about the similarities of characters. I also just wish there were a few more from the OG Thunderbolts. Obviously, Zemo is the most obvious choice, but I would have loved Songbird, Moonstone, Atlas, etc.
Sounds quite possible and hope you’re right.I still say Zemo will definitely be in the movie, just apparently not as an official member of the team. And considering the line-up clearly proves this is starting as an officially sanctioned team, it makes sense that Zemo's reputation is too radioactive to be an official member.
Hope that is also the reason in this case. Add in Zemo and Abomination into the movie, even if not on the team, and I’ll have pretty much what I want.Abomination hasn't been added yet because his arc in She Hulk hasn't finished. Casting him before the show was finished would give away a massive spoiler. I will be surprised if Tim Roth isn't announced for this movie.

I think there were actually quite a few people who wanted this to differentiate itself from Suicide Squad, and/or wanted it to be more like the original Thunderbolts with either the villain "twist" or at least a (non-government) team pretending to be heroes in some way.I think everyone was hoping this would be the MCU's Suicide Squad but you know good.
All things lead to Thunderbolts!I wonder how much Thunderbolts is going to feel just like a direct sequel to CA: New World Order, Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Black Widow or at least a combination of those 3.
