Thunderbolts* post-credit scene leak sparks speculation on Reddit

{Spoiler Warning! This article contains huge spoilers for Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts*}
Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts doesn't officially hit theatres until May 2, 2025, but that hasn't stopped fans from diving headfirst into spoiler territory. Thanks to last week's early fan screenings, a flood of leaked footage is now circulating across Reddit, YouTube, and social media.
HindustanTimes.com won't be linking the footage here; it's out there.
Directed by Jake Schreier and written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo, the film boasts an all-star cast including Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Lewis Pullman.

The leaked post-credit scene finally confirms that the US Government has officially sanctioned this unlikely New Avengers lineup. But the real showstopper comes in the final seconds: the Fantastic Four make their debut in Earth-616 as their ship pierces the atmosphere.
It puts Thunderbolts in direct conversation with Avengers: Doomsday—suggesting that, unlike some of the Multiverse Saga's previous mid- or post-credits scenes, this one truly carries weight.
One nerd on Reddit, actually speculated the plot, 'The leaked plot doesn't actually spoil the ending, because the person who leaked it said they only had access to a partial script, but the basic idea of the plot is the following .The movie starts with the FF living in this 60s retro futuristic universe where they are the main heroes and protectors….'
'…The F4 decide to stay in this universe and help save it, and Galactus makes his first steps in Manhattan, as the third act starts. But that's where the plot leak stops. We don't know if the heroes save the universe or not, but they will definitely travel back to their home world of 616 by the end, possibly bringing Galactus with them.'
However, another Redditor literally denounced the clip, noting, 'I figured they were fake. Leader having pretty much the same post-credits scene as BNW again and Doom's debut being in Thunderbolts instead of the F4 movie coming 2 months later was weird. From what I've been reading in Twitter and other subs, looks like everyone's saying the same about the Red Guardian and F4 scenes.'
'So since it seems like Val officially renames the Thunderbolts to the New Avengers before the credits, does the final credits logo change to reflect that? Like how The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's final credits logo for Episode 6 was Captain America and The Winter Soldier?' even one user questioned.

The official Hollywood premiere took place just yesterday, and while full reviews are still under wraps until later today, early reactions are trickling in. Whether that translates to a strong Rotten Tomatoes score is another question.
The film itself follows a ragtag band of antiheroes—Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker—thrust together on a dangerous mission after being manipulated by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Now the bigger question looms: will they fall apart, or rise as something more?

Virat Kohli, Genelia D'Souza's 'Aeroplane Sex' Ad Was Too 'Controversial', Got Banned From TV

Many argued that the portrayal of Virat Kohli and Genelia D'Souza engaging in such behaviour was disrespectful to aviation professionals. Virat Kohli and Genelia D'Souza once starred in an advertisement for a watch brand, which was deemed too suggestive for Indian television. It was banned by the authorities for its 'adult content'. The video featured Genelia as an airhostess, enticing 'pilot' Virat to have sex with her during the course of the flight. 'Pilot' Virat gives in, risking the lives of the passengers. The advertisement suggested that the autopilot mode was introduced by airlines as the crew wanted to indulge in sexual relations. A glimpse of the clip has resurfaced on Reddit, reminding fans about the video. It was shared with the caption, 'The ad of Genelia and Virat was so controversial that it got banned within its release." Have a look here: One person wrote, 'Abhi dekha, ban hone jaisa tha." Another wrote, 'How did Genelia agree to this, considering the family she was about to get married into?" Another person wrote, referring to Ranbir Kapoor's character in Animal, 'Did it earlier than Ranvijay." Someone else added, 'Genelia was such a smoke show. Is still very beautiful." Referring to Virat's recent comment about the Instagram algorithm, another wrote, 'Now I have reached the conclusion that Virat bhau hi aapna Instagram chalate hai." The video was also reportedly banned as it showed people's lives being put at risk for humour. Many argued that the portrayal of a pilot and an airhostess engaging in such behaviour was disrespectful to aviation professionals and sent the wrong message to younger audiences. While the advertisement was banned from being aired on Indian television, it is still available on YouTube. Have a look here: Virat and Genelia featured in a series of provocative ads for the brand. In another video, the duo is seen emerging one after the other from a fitting room, dishevelled and exchanging flirty glances, implying that they had engaged in a sexual encounter inside. The ad hinted at carefree, nonchalant attitudes toward relationships and societal norms. While many viewers found the ad humorous and in line with modern culture, others criticised it for being too risqué for mainstream television. Complaints quickly poured in from viewers who considered the ad indecent and inappropriate, especially for younger audiences. Many argued that the commercial promoted casual sex and undermined Indian cultural values. Despite the backlash, the controversy did little to affect the careers of either Kohli or D'Souza. Kohli continued to grow into a global cricket icon, while Genelia remained a popular actress and public figure. First Published:
