One of the worst aspect of 2016’sSuicide Squadwas the instauration to the characters .

Marvel Studios ' Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts projects could colligate directly thanks to one bruit grapheme and a new Phase 6 press release schedule .

ForThunderbolts , most of these characters , such as Yelena and Winter Soldier , are already well - liked by audiences , so Marvel does n’t have to waste prison term trying to make them more relatable . A few of the team ’s members , like U.S. Agent , Ghost , and Taskmaster , might need some help from the writing section as they ’re still in the middle of their arcs , but that does n’t ask to take up most of the story . Marvel should focus on the construct of taking its beloved anti - heroes and placing them on an exciting commission while also see their interpersonal chemistry is excellent .
