for Ares in Thunderbolts* 2: Dark Reign (MCU Sequel)
Suggested by kaueoliveira
Following the events of the first film, Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Val) has successfully secured the Thunderbolts as the U.S. Government's official superhero team. However, she finds the current roster (Bucky, Yelena, Red Guardian) too difficult to control and too morally conflicted. She decides to "rebrand." Val initiates Project: Dark Reign. She sidelines the original team and introduces a new, media-friendly, yet secretly psychotic lineup designed to replace the Avengers in the public eye. Leading them is the returning, disgraced industrialist Justin Hammer, now wearing the "Iron Patriot" armor. The old Thunderbolts are declared fugitives when they discover Val's team is instigating false-flag attacks to boost their approval ratings. The film is a "Team vs. Team" action thriller: the scrappy, dysfunctional original Thunderbolts must come out of hiding to take down the polished, high-powered, and murderous corporate replacements before they start a global war.
