Thunderbolts*, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most recent offering, is a refreshingly direct film for a franchise that has offered a string of duds.

Avengers' film starring Sebastian Stan, Florence Pugh and David Harbour is enjoyably more down to earth than some recent Marvel movies.

The official title of Marvel’s latest movie, Thunderbolts, includes an asterisk (a style choice that is explained by the film itself), and the same symbol could be incorporated into many of the first official reviews.
