Who owns the old Avengers Tower since Tony Stark parted ways with it? A question that has remained unanswered for many years. But the trailer for Thunderbolts has finally provided a concrete response!
The History of Avengers Tower
Originally, the Avengers Tower is a simple building belonging to Tony Stark. In the first two Iron Man and in the first Avengers, This tower is simply the home of the wealthy inventor and philanthropist: the Tower of Stark Industries. But, after the events of the first Avengers, Tony Stark decides to do an update. Stark Tower then becomes Avengers Tower. A place that can accommodate all the Avengers.
Unfortunately, the tower is stormed by Ultron in the second movie Avengers. Events that push Stark and his friends to change headquarters. In 2017, in Spider-Man : Homecomingwe learn that the Avengers are moving. A transfer supervised by Happy HoganThe Vulture also takes advantage of this trip to try to recover some of Tony Stark’s weapons.
Of the Avengers : Infinity Warthe Avengers, increasingly numerous, have therefore moved into an immense complex. A complex attacked by Thanos in Avengers : Endgame. However, until now, we still did not know to whom Tony Stark had sold his Tower. The trailer for Thunderbolts has finally answered this question.
We know who owns the old Avengers Tower
Some time after its sale, Avengers Tower has retained its iconic A. But, in 2024 (in the MCU timeline), after the events of the Blip (Thanos’ finger snap), The old Stark Industries Tower has lost its A.
Marvel recently released the first trailer for Thunderbolts, one of the upcoming films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), expected on April 30th in the dark rooms. First images which have just revealed to us the identity of the new owner of the former Avengers Tower. In fact, the Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaineembodied by Julia Louis-Dreyfusappears to be the new owner of the establishment.
At the end of the trailer, Yelena (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), L’Agent US (Wyatt Russell), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) et Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) are all summoned to the old Stark Tower by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Already present in the series Falcon and the Winter Soldierbut also in Black Widow and in Black Panther : Wakanda ForeverValentina Allegra de Fontaine’s intentions are still rather vague. We simply know that she is the CIA Director in the MCU and could easily be compared to a sort of Nick Fury 2.0.
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is expected to play a leading role in Thunderbolts. It seems that she is the director of this new team, in the same way that Nick Fury was in the days of the Avengers. The latter have not been active since Avengers : Endgame. And, it seems, the US government is looking to replace them, probably with the Thunderbolts. A theory that makes sense when we know that Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford) will be the new President of the United States in Captain America : Brave New World. The latter will therefore surely be at the initiative of this new team of superheroes: the Thunderbolts. And who says new team, says new HQ. It is therefore also quite logical to see Valentina Allegra de Fontaine sets down her suitcases in the old Avengers Tower.
