The Thunderbolts (although we hear they're going by another name now) have arrived and gone down a hit with fans and critics following their release. With that said, some viewers and die-hard MCU lovers are wondering what the team could've looked like if some other characters from this massive universe had made the cut instead.
Over on Reddit, some compelling and interesting suggestions were thrown into the mix, either deemed better picks than the ones we got, or alternative options should another team end up getting named the Thunderbolts further down the line. One name that was repeatedly brought up was Daniel Brühl's Baron Zemo, who in the comics was the man responsible for bringing the team together in the first place. Much like Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) though, he got a group together for nefarious means.
Another fan thought they needed another heavy-hitter on the squad saying, "Abomination would have [been] better, sucks they Professor Hulked him. Yet somehow, She-Hulk Abomination’s passive energy synergises with this team so well. Him and Bob definitely would have been friends."
There was also mention of one character from Daredevil: Born Again, who could have spiced things up in the worst way possible. Benjamin Poindexter (Wilson Bethel) aka Bullseye, was a member of the Thunderbolts in the comics, although he was known not to play well with others, which the film could've invested some time in. "Zemo, Blonsky, and Dex are three I’m interested in. A friend suggests that Bullseye is better as irredeemable however, so I could see him being recruited, becoming a problem, and we get a fight between him and Bucky similar to Peacemaker/Bloodsport."
