The Thunderbolts (film)

The Thunderbolts (also presented as Marvel's The Thunderbolts) is an American superhero film based on Marvel Comics. It is the third installment in the All New, All Different Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as an follow-up sequel to Spider-Man: Web Warriors and Wolverine: Gods and Mutants respectively.

Premise
Believing that the Avengers cannot be the only guardian faction protecting the Earth, Phil Coulson organizes a new team of individuals called the Thunderbolts, who band together to stop Amora the Enchantress, who arrives from Asgard to take over the Earth by seducing the new powerful super-criminal Graviton.

Plot
Three years ago, Roxxon scientist Dr. Franklin Hall was experimenting on the Oscorp formulas responsible for Norman Osborn's transformation into the Green Goblin and the Dark Elf technology scavenged in London after Thor's battle with Malekith. Right after one of the electromagnetic grenades exploded, Hall was violently infused by the Oscorp formulas and the Dark Elf weapons. Hall survived the progress and eventually manifested the abilities to manipulate Gravity itself. Driven insane and overwhelmed by a god-complex by his newfound power, Hall (dubbing himself "Graviton") went for a rampage until he was neutralized by the incoming S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and imprisoned in the underground of the Raft.
