Marvel’s Thunderbolts just hit theaters, but it’s the end credits that have everyone talking-and the box on the Wheaties shelf that nobody saw coming.
The film’s mid-credits scene delivers a comedic moment: Red Guardian (David Harbour) tries to get recognized in a grocery store, pointing out his face on a Wheaties box featuring the New Avengers. The joke lands, but the box itself is more than a gag-it’s the first public nod to the team’s new identity
The real bombshell drops in the post-credits scene. As the former Thunderbolts-Yelena, Bucky, John Walker, Ghost, Red Guardian, and Bob-settle into Avengers Tower, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) rebrands them as “The New Avengers.” The team debates their new name, with Bucky noting tension with Sam Wilson’s Captain America over the Avengers title The credits then dramatically peel away the “Thunderbolts*” name, revealing “The New Avengers” as their new moniker
