Thunderbolts Director Has One Regret About a Major Removed Character
Previously, it was disclosed by Schreier that Man-Thing was initially proposed for the team in the early concept of “Thunderbolts”. This would have placed the supernatural entity among a roster of characters comprising Ghost, US Agent, Taskmaster, Yelena Belova, and Winter Soldier – all portrayed as misconstrued villains. In an interview with The Wrap, Schreier expressed his single regret concerning Man-Thing: the director felt that the character wouldn’t have meshed well with the final film they produced. He admitted to regretting even suggesting the idea in public.
