Of course, he continued to find success – do not look any further than The mastodon of a billion dollars of “Deadpool and Wolverine” of last summer “ – However, in the showbiz, you are as good as your last success, and the “Captain America: Brave New World” last winter has not exactly light Either the box office Or Rotten fire tomatoes. Fortunately for Marvel Studios, they still have some films to offer for the favor of the public this year, and the next on the editing chain is “Thunderbolts *”. While “Brave New World” looked like an adventure warmed “Captain America” ​​awkwardly grafted on a film “Hulk”, and this summer “Fantastic Four: First steps” is a long -awaited return to some of the most offbeat inherited characters in Marvel, “Thunderbolts *”, felt the biggest joker of this year of a Marvel film. His marketing campaign made the film that the film feels closest to the “Guardians of the Galaxy” of the studios “mixed with DC films” Suicide Squad “, a film on a group of ragot of the anti-hero who must learn to meet to fight against a threat still not clear.

“Thunderbolts *” has just been presented in first in Europe, and a mixture of criticism and fans began to adapt to social media to publish their reactions. So far, these reactions outside the first seem to be largely favorable. Although the first positive reactions to a film are somehow equal during our days – there are usual people who are simply allowed to be allowed to see something earlier, and there is no doubt that it is easier to have a positive initial reaction when there is not a ton of speeches that must compare it – the things that these people say about “Thunderbolts” seem encouraging.

Although the marketing of the film has so far been put in cage as to the exact intrigue of the film, one thing that it was impatient to show is the overall distribution, and it seems that there is a good reason for this, because so many these reactions call specific actors for their good work. Critical Emily Murray says This “Florence Pugh [is] In particular, superb, move away from it, “while the writer Paul Klein also says This pugh “continues to be a little removed”.
