Marvel Studios has officially rebranded its latest film, initially titled Thunderbolts, to The New Avengers. This change was revealed during the film's end credits, where CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, announces the transformation of the Thunderbolts into the New Avengers. The rebranding has been reflected in updated promotional materials and posters.
While the film's original title was Thunderbolts, the rebranding to The New Avengers aligns with Marvel's tradition of evolving team identities to reflect changes in their composition and mission. This move also sets the stage for future MCU developments, including the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday.
