In Spider-Man: Homecomingwe learned that Tony Stark had decided to sell the Avengers Tower. For years, there has been wild speculation about who bought the landmark. Among the many rumors are all sorts of people, from the Kingpin to a version of Kang the Conqueror to the Fantastic Four.

None of this worked out, and Marvel Studios has avoided giving us any answers. Oddly, the building wasn’t even shown in shots of the Big Apple, probably to avoid giving anything away.

Kevin Feige confirmed that answers are coming while he is promoting Deadpool and Wolverine and today’s Thunderbolts* The trailer may have solved this years-long mystery once and for all.

As you can see below, it looks like the scene when the team arrives to confront Valentina Allegra de Fontaine takes place in what was once Avengers Tower, with Val standing next to a bar that is almost certainly the same one Tony Stark used during his confrontation with Loki in 2012. The Avengers.

There are some minor changes, but the similarities are too striking to ignore and cannot be a coincidence. If it is true that Thunderbolts*‘ Asterisk refers to “New Avengers” or “Dark Avengers”, so why didn’t Val set both them and herself in the real team’s former home? The windows and the New York skyline are another clear clue.

In the comics, Norman Osborn reveals his Dark Avengers to the world, and although the main characters in this film are not full-blown villains, we would be shocked if Thunderbolts* does not end in a similar way.

There were already rumors that Ironheart wanted to reveal that Mephisto now owns the building, due to a seemingly unexpected interest in technology. Val could be in cahoots with him, but we’d be inclined to believe that claim is false.

Do you think that the Thunderbolts* Did the trailer finally reveal the new owner of Avengers Tower?

Marvel Studios and a crew of indie veterans who are definitely sold out present Thunderbolts*an irreverent team-up with depressed assassin Yelena Belova alongside the MCU’s least expected band of misfits.

Confirmed actors for Thunderbolts* These include Florence Pugh as Yelena Boleva, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as US Agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

Geraldine Viswanathan replaced Ayo Edebiri in an as-yet-unnamed role, now believed to be Songbird, while Lewis Pullman has taken over the role of Sentry after Steve Yeun unexpectedly left the film. Both he and Edebiri are said to have dropped out due to scheduling issues.

Written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo and directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts* is currently scheduled to hit theaters on May 5, 2025.
