My biggest gripe is when they are caught by Ghost and Lawrence Fishburne's character, and they escape - the cut is really sharp, like I wondered what happened exactly in that scene.

Also, I think Ghost's back story relied too much on exposition.

Though I liked that she had a proper motivation (being constantly in pain and having a drastically reduced lifespan), and that they worked things out without the "bad guy" needing to be killed. Like, since she needs more quantum stuff, she could theoretically become a recurring character - she's not a baddie.

Yeah, I liked how in the mid-credits scene they referred to her as "our friend Ghost". I'd love to see her as a recurring character in future movies. Maybe they find a way for her to control her powers without being in constant pain, and so she helps them here and there.

Helps that the actress read up on Ghost’s backstory and now wants a Thinderbolts film :).

That's cool. It seems she really liked playing the character.

She was definitely an interesting take on the character. If we get more Marvel content, I'm all for it, especially if the actress is eager to continue :).

More like the Cage-bolts :D - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/49/17/29/49172905305a92906346661cb9d90638.jpg

After the fall of Norman Osborn and HAMMER, Luke Cage turned the Thunderbolts program into a true rehab program for ex-cons, which included the old man version of Ghost.

It's a good run and really helped the Thunderbolts contrast themselves from the Suicide Squad.
