Maybe essentially the most iconic constructing within the MCU, Avengers Tower is an integral a part of the fictional New York Metropolis’s skyline. Or no less than it was.
Marvel followers with an intimate data of the MCU shall be conscious Tony Stark initially turned his central Manhattan skyscraper right into a headquarters for The Avengers, earlier than finally promoting it and shifting the workforce to a facility exterior of town.
It is by no means defined why Stark determined to promote the tower, however I all the time figured he determined having a strong superhero workforce camped out in the midst of New York Metropolis is likely to be a bit harmful for, you realize, everybody else.
Whatever the why, I am delighted to say Marvel has lastly revealed precisely who purchased the tower from Stark, although I am undecided it is going for use with the most effective of intentions going ahead.
Many suspected that CIA Director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine was behind the acquisition. Not an enormous leap, given varied teases in issues like Black Widow and Falcon And The Winter Soldier counsel she’s making an attempt to construct her personal workforce of superheroes – one the US authorities can really management.
Positive sufficient, the most recent trailer for Thunderbolts* one hundred pc confirms Valentina Allegra de Fontaine and the CIA now personal Avengers Tower. Presumably to allow them to transfer their very own workforce in there and fill the void left by the absent Avengers.
Whereas the brand new trailer would not explicitly say “that is Avengers tower”, solely a idiot would suppose it might be every other constructing.
“How loopy is it to think about all of the monumental fights that occurred precisely the place you are standing?” Valentina asks the Thunderbolts as they exit an elevator to a very acquainted trying penthouse and bar. “I imply the place wasn’t low-cost, but it surely’s received good optics.”
She will’t probably be speaking about anything, proper? That is Avengers Tower, and Valentina is placing collectively her personal workforce. We additionally know the asterisk on the finish of Thunderbolts* is there for a purpose, so I am keen to be any sum of money the movie ends to disclose the workforce’s new identify is Darkish Avengers, or New Avengers, or Secret Avengers.
Thunderbolts* arrives in Might 2025, so we do not have lengthy to attend to search out out.
