The Thunderbolts* premieres in Europe and the US brought us great reviews for the most surprising Marvel crossover in recent years, as well as leaks for the plot, the credits scenes, and the mysterious asterisk in the title.

The film made $76 million at the US box office and topped $162 million globally. Thunderbolts* doesn't look like a Marvel film that will top $1 billion during its theatrical run, but these figures speak volumes for Marvel. Captain America 4 topped $88 million during its opening weekend in the US, eventually ending its theatrical run at over $414 million worldwide, split about halfway between the US and the rest of the world.

The Thunderbolts become Avengers by the end of the flick, and they'll be the first line of defense against Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently filming.
