If she's playing a Thunderbolt, it's probably Dr. Karla Sofen aka Moonstone. Of the mainstays of most of the various iterations of the Thunderbolts, she's the only one that Edebiri would make sense for with some sort of gender bending.

Do they, though? Aside from the Edward Norton film, I can't recall him even being called that nickname. It seems like they could come up with a totally different origin for the team name. Perhaps the Countess's employers wanted her to put together a team that can strike targets like a thunderbolt.

Confirmed cast: Julia Louis-Dreyfuss as Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova/Black Widow...

I think the author of article assumed the same thing, and that's why he was mentioned. There are more iterations of the Thunderbolts that have nothing to do with General Ross than there are iterations that do. Even if William Hurt hadn't passed away, I don't think the character would have been...

I don't think this iteration of the Thunderbolts is working for the government, at least not directly. I get the sense that the organization the Countess represents is somewhere between a military contractor like Blackwater and an organized crime syndicate like the Bratva. Certainly their...

Marvel does a much better job of laying the groundwork, though. There were a lot of movies that led into The Avengers, and there are a lot of movies and Disney+ shows leading into this (depending on which characters end up in the lineup).

Not a huge surprise; they've been laying the groundwork for a while now with the failed Captain America John Walker in "Falcon and the Winter Soldier", Yelena Belova in Black Widow and "Hawkeye," Baron Zemo going back to Civil War, Ghost in Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Taskmaster in Black Widow. I...
