Fans have been left divided after one Marvel villain reportedly being left out of Thunderbolts
It has been revealed that the upcoming Thunderbolts will feature several villains. It was earlier reported that Zemo would be a part of the movie, but it was later confirmed that he had been left out.
For those unaware, Zemo has emerged as a force to be reckoned with since his debut in Captain America: Civil War. He tore the Avengers apart during his MCU debut. Since then, Zemo has only continued to show a knack for getting under people’s skin, something that was shown even more during his time in the latter half of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
With Zemo being left out of the upcoming Thunderbolts, fans have flooded the social media platform X/Twitter with their reactions to the same. Take a look at some of the reactions below:

This movie is gonna suck. Baron Zemo is the FOUNDER of the Thunderbolts… and he'll not appear in the movie, just like Hank Pym with the Avengers. That's 100% shit.

That’s a shame. Seems like he’d be a better fit to the team then some of the characters included in the originally announced lineup

Wyatt Russell is confident about MCU’s Thunderbolts
Wyatt Russell is set to be a part of Thunderbolts. He will be playing the U.S. Agent in the movie and it looks like he is confident in the upcoming project. During an interview with THR, Rusell spoke about how the story is really interesting. While suggesting that he cannot speak about it too much, the actor stated:
“I know Jake so well and I know how smart Jake is and how much he cares about making something interesting and different and utilizing everyone’s talents to the best of their ability. And the story that I think they’ve come up with is really interesting. I know parts of the story and how the story works. I can’t talk about it. But it’s not straightforward Marvel movies as you’ve seen in the past.”
Wyatt Russell who appeared as John Walker in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier lastly added that the movie is going to be a lot of fun but also hopes that Marvel fans will look at it and try to embrace it as the story is a bit different. That said, it will be interesting to see how the movie performs when it gets released.
