Thunderbolts* Director Originally Wanted Man-Thing on the MCU Team
Marvel’s upcoming movie Thunderbolts is just around the corner, and director Jake Schreier has shared something interesting — he originally wanted Man-Thing to be part of the team.
In an interview, Schreier revealed, “I think there was a point during pitching when I really wanted Man-Thing to be on the team.” He was talking about the early stages of planning the movie, when different characters were being considered for the lineup.
But Marvel Studios had different plans for the swamp creature. Instead of joining the Thunderbolts team, Man-Thing made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in 2022’s Werewolf by Night Halloween special. Schreier said that change “worked out for the best,” suggesting he’s happy with how things turned out in the end.
