The new logo for Marvel’s ‘Thunderbolts*‘ has been revealed at CinemaCon 2024. Along with that, we received more updates from Marvel Boss Kevin Feige for the film. ‘Thunderbolts*’ will be fully filmed for IMAX.
Why Does The Film, Previously Titled ‘Thunderbolts,’ Now Have An Asterisk At The End?
The film, previously titled ‘Thunderbolts,’ now has an asterisk at the end. According to Feige, this asterisk is for a reason, and we will find out after the movie’s release.
During the logo presentation, Feige said, “Yes, you’ll notice the asterisk on ‘Thunderbolts.’ That is the official title of ‘Thunderbolts,’ and we won’t talk more about that until after the movie comes out.”

Pugh said, “Hello CinemaCon, how are you doing? I’m so gutted that I’m not there to say hi, but I’m on a night shoot on the Fantastic set Thunderbolts, eating my macaroni cheese and spicy sauce, and I’m sending you my love. But I hear Kevin’s with you, which is kind of just as good if not better. Hi, Kevin, how are you doing? I hope you have a wonderful afternoon, and I’ll see you next time.”
The filming is currently happening in Atlanta. Recently, leaked images of Pugh, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the set surfaced.
