Avengers: Doomsday to Feature These 4 Super Soldiers from Thunderbolts — And Possibly 2 More
Marvel fans have rallied around Thunderbolts** with renewed enthusiasm, as the film’s early reactions and reviews have largely leaned positive. With Marvel Studios regaining momentum, the buzz is now shifting toward the next major ensemble: Avengers: Doomsday. Expectations are sky-high, and with good reason — especially considering the potential inclusion of several powerful super soldiers from the Thunderbolts** lineup.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has never been short on enhanced individuals, but super soldiers have always held a distinct place. From Steve Rogers to John Walker, they bring raw physical power combined with human vulnerabilities and moral complexities. Here's a look at four confirmed (or heavily rumored) super soldiers from Thunderbolts** who are likely to play key roles in Avengers: Doomsday — and two others who might just surprise us.
1. Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier
Once a brainwashed assassin, Bucky has since evolved into a fully autonomous hero with deep ties to the original Avengers. As a hardened veteran with decades of combat experience and a vibranium arm, his presence in Doomsday seems almost essential, especially with the growing threat levels.
2. John Walker / U.S. Agent
Although morally gray, Walker is still a formidable super soldier. His arc in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Thunderbolts** showed a man trying to reconcile patriotism with power. If he joins the Avengers in Doomsday, expect tension — and maybe redemption.
3. Red Guardian
Russia’s answer to Captain America, Alexei Shostakov, brings both muscle and comic relief. While aging, Red Guardian proved he still packs a punch in Black Widow and is rumored to have a major role in Thunderbolts**. His inclusion would add an international flair to the Avengers' dynamic.
4. Erik Steele (Speculated New Super Soldier)
Rumors point to the introduction of a new, mysterious super soldier in Thunderbolts** named Erik Steele. While not yet confirmed, insider buzz suggests he could be a sleeper agent or a failed experiment — adding a darker twist to the team’s chemistry and setting him up for a significant role in Doomsday.
Possible Additions:
5. Isaiah Bradley
The forgotten super soldier of the past, Isaiah’s reintroduction in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier sparked strong emotional responses. If Marvel wants to lean into the consequences of its super soldier programs, Bradley’s presence in Doomsday could be powerful and poignant.
6. Joaquin Torres / Falcon
While not a traditional super soldier, Joaquin is enhanced with tech and possibly augmented physiology. If Sam Wilson leads the team, having Torres along as his protégé would strengthen the lineup and future-proof the Avengers.
With Thunderbolts** setting the stage and Avengers: Doomsday promising a massive convergence of storylines, the rise (or return) of super soldiers seems inevitable. Whether they fight side by side or clash in ideology, their presence guarantees high stakes, brutal combat, and emotional depth.
Are you excited to see these super soldiers in action? Who do you think will lead the charge in Avengers: Doomsday?
