      Warning: This article contains spoilers for Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts*.

      The asterisk in the Thunderbolts* title was a major mystery leading up to the release of the Marvel movie. Now that Thunderbolts* is in theaters, the meaning of the symbol has been disclosed.

      After the Thunderbolts save the city, the team intends to capture the architect of the chaos, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Just as they are about to arrest her, de Fontaine holds a press conference and reveals that the Thunderbolts will now be called the New Avengers.

      Marvel Studios is officially rebranding and marketing the title as The New Avengers. The lineup of the New Avengers includes Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent, and Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost.

      The post-credits scene jumps forward 14 months, showing the New Avengers and Bob (Lewis Pullman) residing at the Watchtower, the former Avengers' tower. The New Avengers are entangled in a legal dispute with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) over the copyright of the Avengers trademark.

      Following some comedic moments, a significant revelation occurs towards the end of the scene when the New Avengers discover that a ship bearing the Fantastic Four's logo is approaching Earth. This event paves the way for a future collaboration between the New Avengers and the Fantastic Four in Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently being filmed in London.

      Directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts* had an opening weekend gross of $76 million domestically, aligning it with 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ($75 million).

      Thunderbolts*/The New Avengers is now showing in theaters nationwide.
