Summary
Alongside several return characters in 2025’sThunderbolts * , I mean I ’ve worked out which unexampled antihero Marvel Studios might be about to bring in into theMCU . A lively - military action movie focalise on the Thunderbolts team from Marvel Comics was first foretell in June 2022 , and themain cast of Marvel Studios’Thunderbolts*was confirmed that September . The bloodline - up includes six yield antihero and reformed villains from the MCU ’s past times , ostensibly led by the enigmatical Valentina Allegra de Fontaine , but I do n’t think this will be the double-dyed team.
I mistrust that the MCU ’s Thunderbolts team will be formed in an attack to superintend the emersion of the powerful Sentry , who is wait to be bet by Lewis Pullman . However , while theSentry ’s debut in the MCUis incredibly exciting , make the potential to change the power anatomical structure of the dealership forever , I do n’t think he ’ll be the only new superpowered character joiningThunderbolts*.One Marvel consultation at this class ’s San Diego Comic - Con has only reinforced my belief in this idea , as Geraldine Viswanathan ’s cryptic character might have been revealed .

Geraldine Viswanathan’s Thunderbolts* Character Is Named “Mel”
BlockersandMiracle Workers’Geraldine Viswanathan connect the cast ofThunderboltsin January , taking over from Ayo Edebiri who set off due to programing conflict . Until now , Viswanathan’sThunderboltscharacter had been a whodunit , though she had been rumored to be Valentina ’s supporter . The mould ofThunderbolts*were interviewed at SDCC byMarvel Entertainment , however , and this interview listed Viswanathan ’s character as " Mel" . In the same means that I think Lewis Pullman ’s " Bob " is Robert Reynolds ' Sentry , I would enjoy for Viswanathan ’s " Mel " to be Marvel Comics ' Melissa Gold .
Who Is Melissa Gold? Marvel Comics History Explained
introduce to Marvel Comics in 1979’sMarvel Two - in - One # 54 , Melissa Gold earlier run as the supervillain Screaming Mimi . A troubled runaway from a difficult household , Gold , going by " Mimi " , finally find herself incarcerated , lead her to join the female wrestling squad , the Grapplers , upon her discharge . Not make enough money , the Grapplers carried out a covert cognitive operation for the Roxxon Oil Company , and were gifted setup to help in this pursuit . For Mimi , this was a equipment that converted her vocalisation into eminent - frequency transonic moving ridge .
Marvel Studios will insert the Thunderbolts in Phase 5 , but there are many Thunderbolts member from Marvel Comics that have n’t debuted in the MCU .
The Grapplers finally approached the Power Broker to give them actual superpowers . Mimi opt to have her transonic gimmick implanted into her pharynx , allowing her to alter her voice into sonic wafture naturally . This ability got her on the radar of Baron Helmut Zemo , who enrol Mimi for his Masters of Evil . After the Avengers were presumed dead during the struggle against Onslaught , theMasters of Evil became the first Thunderbolts team , posing as hero to supercede Earth ’s Mightiest . This conversion saw Screaming Mimi become Songbird .
masquerade as hero changed the Thunderbolts member ' perspectives , and they soon come out to actually become heroes in their own right , moving away from their villainous pasts . Songbird remained on the team through various iterations , and even led her ownThunderbolts stock - up . She battled Skrulls , Norman Osborn and his Thunderbolts team , and Lemuel Dorcas , and has more recently become a member of the Avengers . I would love for Melissa Gold ’s rich history as Screaming Mimi and Songbird to be detailed in the live - action MCU .
Why Melissa Gold’s Songbird Would Be A Great Addition To Thunderbolts*
It would be gravid to see her pay court to in Marvel Studios’Thunderbolts * .
I was a chip surprised when Marvel Studios let on the cast forThunderbolts*back in 2022 , as not a single member of the original team in Marvel Comics was feature in the billet - up . Most of them have n’t even been insert to the MCU , but this would have been the perfect opportunity forDaniel Brühl ’s Zemo to returnafter his recent stint inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier . I would love for Marvel to let in at least one phallus of Marvel Comics ' Thunderbolts in the MCU ’s roll , and Melissa Gold ’s Songbird is the perfect candidate .
Songbird is one of the longest - running member of the Thunderbolts , having been feature in 4 out of the 12 avatar of the group . This has made her one of the team ’s most iconic appendage , so it would be great to see her paid homage to in Marvel Studios’Thunderbolts * . If this involve her really have a declamatory role in the movie , and perhaps even setting up Geraldine Viswanathan to seem in next MCU task , I would be incredibly well-chosen . For now , we only know Viswanathan as " Mel " , but Songbird has a much better ring to it .
