Marvel Studios is getting ready to close out Phase 5 with Thunderbolts*, opening the door for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to debut one of its most dangerous players.

Thunderbolts* features returning characters like Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, John Walker, and Ava Starr — but its most valuable player is a newcomer known as Bob.
