Black Widow: 12 Huge Rumours That Would Change Everything
8. The Thunderbolts
If Ross' appearance in the movie doesn't result in the MCU debut of the Red Hulk, there is another option being speculated about. The Thunderbolts.
Something of Marvel's version of the Suicide Squad, the team has typically been comprised of villains trying their hand at doing good. This is something that, at this point in the MCU, would be more than welcome, with plenty of candidates to join the team.
Of course Bucky would be involved, with other potential allies in Ghost, Justin Hammer, Emil Blonsky, and the founder of the team in the comics, Helmut Zemo. The man to bring all these characters together in the MCU however, would surely have to be Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross.
The Secretary of State's older look in the leaked set photos may be due to a scene set some time after the events of the rest of the movie, most likely in a post credit scene. As usual there will certainly be something teased for the future of the MCU after the credits have rolled on Black Widow, and Ross trying to recruit members for his new team would be perfect.
According to a report from We Got This Covered, both Taskmaster and Yelena will be the targets of Ross' recruitment.
