The Thunderbolts are coming!!! (Captain America: Civil War)

It has been recently brought to our attention Captain America: Civil War starts out with the Avengers being responsible for another international incident resulting in collateral damage. No doubt caused by Baron Zemo. With political pressure building up, a governing body of the entire world (possibly the UN) plans to install a system of accountability by ratifying the Superhuman Registration Act. The governing body wants the Avengers to work under them but some Avengers don't agree with the terms.

This opens a door for a new team of heroes who are actually villains...the Thunderbolts. Baron Helmut Zemo with his sadistic sidekick Crossbones will bring the pain (both physical and emotional). However, who better to keep these two rogues in line then General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and Dr. Samuel Sterns. It is my firm hope that actor Martin Freeman will be playing Samuel Sterns aka Leader and he develops an Extremis/ Hulk blood cocktail for Ross thereby transforming him into the Red Hulk.

How awesome will it be to see Martin Freeman play the pontific Leader who entices the people to join his so called loving embrace while at the same time turning the public against the Avengers. This would actually be a great move because Leader could brainwash Sharon Carter aka Agent 13 into killing Captain America. It should have been Dr. Faustus but the Agent Carter TV show stole him. There is only one setback. Mark Ruffalo and Liv Tyler have made no mention of coming back as Bruce Banner and Betty Ross. I am hopeful that they will confirm their roles soon.

With the Leader and Red Hulk being introduced this will save the Hulk from having to make anymore sequels since Universal Studios is playing hardball. At the same time though, She-Hulk could always adopt Hulk's remaining rogues and start a franchise for herself with Marvel Studios.
