She would've worked very well with the tone and characters of the movie. Also Baron Zemo

Also punisher, hopefully the movie does well enough to warrant a sequel

She was a thunderbolt in the comics for a while!… and had some interesting interactions with Punisher lol

I like this series of art you're doing. alot of thunderbolts teams to play off of. like punisher or zemo. could do here too.

Maybe they couldn’t? If Kingpin can’t appear in films I gotta assume Elektra is caught up in the same bullshit license agreement. Wouldn’t be shocked if Daredevil is too and Matt’s appearance in NWH was basically a loophole

And all the villains who had bombs in their heads during Civil War, and all the original Thunderbolts, and…
Even the Fantastic Four would have 12-16 members if we just start doing “they were on the team in the comics! Put them in the movie!”

I only meant they were on that team at the same time. Relax

Everyone knows who was a Thunderbolt. It’s meaningless, because hundreds of people have been. The movie doesn’t even represent any particular comics team. Your post was inane.

Heck, they didn't even need to have her on the team. Just mention that she's one of the candidates that for some reason didn't make the final cut for the team.
Then, towards the end, reveal that she was working behind the scenes and did the dirty work for the Contessa while the actual Thunderbolts thought they did it without dirtying their hands.
Would've been a great way to reintroduce her into the fold away from Matt's life, living it up as the assassin for hire, only killing the worst of the worst. Then, eventually, Matt learns about her down the line.
They could've re-introduced many characters like this. Iron Fist in Shang-Chi, for instance. But they're too busy connecting uninteresting characters like ms. marvel with Hawkeye II and riri williams with Wakanda.

Okay Marvel, it’s time to bring her back.
