But hasn’t Ghost lost her powers after she was saved?
Hammer doesn’t has powers, but he could wear an iron-man-like suit.
And Zemo besides Thunderbolt Ross as leader Since he doesn’t have real powers.
Also two hulklike Powers in one team? Red Hulk and Abomination?
I can see Thunderbolt Ross starting without powers and becoming the Red Hulk during this movies
...if this all is legit
Ghost wasn't saved, she was temporarily stabilized. When Scott was lost in the quantum realm it was because he was collecting more particles for her. She and Bill Foster were on the run at the end of that movie, but they could easily have been captured at some point.
I don't think you'll see Red Hulk and Abomination on the team at the same time - either Abomination will wash out and you'll get Red Hulk in the second movie or Abomination will wash out and you'll get Red Hulk at the end of the first movie so that Abomination doesn't wipe the floor with the whole team.
I also don't think you'll see Ross as 'team leader', at least at first. He'll be the man in charge of the whole project with Zemo leading the team (because he's literally proven more capable than most other known supervillains despite not having any powers). But I expect his plans could backfire on him in some way, leading to him getting demoted to part of the team himself.
Zemo could also easily be given some sort of technology or other. If they hadn't mentioned Justin Hammer, making Zemo an Iron Patriot rip-off would've been pretty obvious given his 'Citizen V' guise, but Hammer actually has the connection to Iron Man.
Hammer is really the one name here that throws me for a loop. He's not exactly fearsome, regardless of what suit he may or may not be wearing.
Thing is why would they bring back the Leader, Abomination and Justin freaking Hammer after all these years? I would be more open to Thunderbolts if majority of the roster is new or would be delightful in terms of visual/power displays. Does Ross turn into Red Hulk? Zemo is just a human. Ghost looked cool in Ant-Man but not someone I would be excited to return.
Abomination makes plenty of sense to me. As a character, he's practically unkillable and ridiculously powerful. That he might resurface somewhere eventually seems almost inevitable. The Leader presumably gets involved because of his history with Ross and the Abomination. As I said above, I don't think Ross will be part of the team at first, he'll be the guy in charge, though he could go Red Hulk in the final fight. And Zemo finding ways around being ridiculously outgunned is kind of the whole point of the character and what made him great in Civil War.
I do agree that Hammer is weird, but whatever. We'll see how it works out.
I also would point out that this group of characters doesn't have to necessarily be complete. There could be others included as well - maybe even some we haven't seen before. But having these returning villains definitely would help sell the central concept of 'long running villains trying to be heroes'. If every character on the team was someone brand new to the MCU, it would lose the history and that feeling of 'wait a minute, most of these guys aren't good guys, why are they suddenly the heroes?'.
I can't wait to see some of those things. And I'm a little afraid Marvel's acquisition of Fox could be a little counterproductive.
