Now it’s a cleaner logo but with lots of confusion. Yes, as Marvel Studios reveals Thunderbolts* logos at CinemaCon, fans are baffled by the asterisk added to the title. The film was previously known as Thunderbolts.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige unveiled the new logo and title for the upcoming Thunderbolts movie. Now the movie title has an asterisk at the end. It was also seen when last month, Florence Pugh posted a cryptic video of the filming location. The movie is currently shooting in Atlanta. 

But, to know what the asterisk means, we have to wait till the movie’s release time. Kevin Feige took the stage at CinemaCon and said: 

“Yes, you’ll notice the asterisk on Thunderbolts. That is the official title of Thunderbolts and we won’t talk more about that until after the movie comes out.” (Via Screen Rant)

But, fans are quick enough to make theories about the new title. Some fans took to social media and started discussing what could mean. Some say it suggests the Dark Avengers, who are supervillains and antiheroes disguising themselves as established superheroes from the Avengers. 

Others say the asterisk means the Thunderbolts name is not finalized now. The studio may change the name at the end of the film.

They're definitely going to be called the Avengers or some Millitary code name ast the start, and then by the end of the film they end up being called or calling themselves Thunderbolts

It will switch to Dark Avengers by the end of the movie.
