Where you think where Melina was in Thunderbolts?

I honestly don't know, but i do want to see her back in some way, maybe she went on a mission to free more widows and maybe find a new life like job, or home life. Since the reboot is coming i honestly no clue, but we will see if she does return.

yeah, in mummy 4

Ph455ki12025-11-13 23:54

That would imply there was a Mummy 3

Maybe they will do a Halloween 2018 reckon style

AgentKnitter2025-11-14 01:52

Look there's bits which are funny enough to keep me coming back - mostly involving John Hannah or Liam Cunningham.

The_Iceman22882025-11-13 23:30

I love that she's coming back for the legacy sequel. She was done dirty in the third movie and is probably swimming in her husband's James Bond movie.

jazzmaster_YangGuo2025-11-14 00:34

not really? by the time they invited her back, she already booked something else; a scheduling conflict = hence why she wasn't there.

konq2025-11-14 01:04

I read she didn't do it because the script was awful.

Vhen_Kordo2025-11-14 01:12

It was also the actor playing her son wasnt THAT much younger than her irl and she was uncomfortable playing his mom iirc

Krimreaper12025-11-14 00:01

So sad he died and they put his brain in a robot.

jamesbondswanson2025-11-13 23:18

Hopefully filming the new mummy movie coming out because 3 was absolutely shit without her

Herbizarre172025-11-13 23:30

They haven’t even begun filming the new Mummy yet

jamesbondswanson2025-11-13 23:54

and I bet you’re about to tell me that Melina Vostokoff isn’t a real person and didn’t star in the mummy movies and is really played by Rachel Weisz.

blackbutterfree2025-11-13 23:58

They're doing a new one???

orange_blanket2025-11-14 00:05

They are with the original cast

blackbutterfree2025-11-14 00:12

Oh thank god

Larry_Version_32025-11-13 23:33

I enjoy 3. Definitely weaker than the first two, but it’s still got that adventure vibe I miss from some more recent movies

djangogator2025-11-14 01:08

There wasn't a mummy 3

kelly_the_human2025-11-13 23:18

I was very sad that we didn't get an explanation for her disappearance. Even though I figured that she wasn't gonna appear in the film, I was hoping for at least some sort of explanation.

Responsible_Egg75192025-11-13 23:24

Me too. Even a line from Alexei would’ve sufficed

kelly_the_human2025-11-13 23:25

That's exactly what I was expecting. I was hoping for him to at least say something.

So much fun.

twbassist2025-11-14 01:57

There are movies I remember fondly that don't hold up. The Mummy is one of the rare ones that still hits the same.

leftlanecop2025-11-14 02:47

It was such an awesome franchise. One of the few that I own the collectors DVD set. Can still watch it again and again whenever it’s on TV.

It’s too bad Hollywood destroyed Brandon Fraser’s career. He was so good.

treathugger2025-11-14 03:54

Definitely having a Renaissance now. But yeah missed him the last 15 years before his oscar win

It's great that he's making a comeback. Liked him in Doom Patrol.

treathugger2025-11-14 03:56

They're making a 4th one

FlashbackJon2025-11-14 05:57

The best part is when you say "The Mummy" everyone on earth knows you mean "The Mummy" (1999) and not the more recent one, or any of the older ones, or even the first one!

1. It's a Soft Reboot, not a Hard one, Melina is still probably going to be there post Secret Wars.

2. She's probably still either chilling in Ohio by herself or stuck in Russia and can't get out.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-11-13 23:27

true and my theory is that is going to be like in the comics where 616 and 6160 are one in the same.

I hope we see her again in an antagonist role as the Iron Maiden. She’d be a good foe for Yelena

blackbutterfree2025-11-13 23:59

I doubt they'd have her be a villain for her own daughter. Maybe if it was Alexei, since the MCU hates dads for some reason.

FDVP2025-11-13 23:42

Busy with her pigs

ouatpll122025-11-13 23:44

I think she was originally supposed to return according to rumors, but no sign of her, I wish we knew how Nat’s death affected her, the family is never going to be the same with Natasha gone , but they should be there for one another.

OblivionArts2025-11-13 23:47

Chilling on her farm likely

Wooden_Passage_26122025-11-14 00:34

Yep with her pigs

Prize-Individual94302025-11-13 23:49

She didnt exactly want to be a family again. She helped them take down the Red Room, but she's not a "good guy" she's not Married to Alexi nor does she want a real relationship with him. She doesnt consider Yelena her daughter like Alexi does, and Natasha is dead. She is probably training the rescued Widows.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-11-14 00:34

Yep

MacellumMycelium2025-11-13 23:55

I cant remember the specific lines, but the vibe I got was that she was going to quietly do science in the woods.

Samantha_Cruz2025-11-13 23:55

She was busy fending off a mummy invasion

Wooden_Passage_26122025-11-14 00:32

Yep. She's back fighting that again

blackbutterfree2025-11-13 23:57

Mind you, Thunderbolts wasn't even going to mention NATASHA. Florence had to push for that. So I'm not surprised that Melina wasn't a factor.

But it is odd, considering her and Alexei are shown in Black Widow and Marvel Zombies to genuinely love each other.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-11-14 00:32

Yes they did

BlueHero452025-11-14 02:51

Ya, but she is shown to be a very busy person, it's not too surprising to me that she be tied up in her projects. There is also the other surviving Widows she could be taking care of.

blackbutterfree2025-11-14 03:58

Yes, but to the point of abandoning her husband and daughter? They don't even mention her. If you told me she died off-screen in like 2017, I'd believe you.

xqueenfrostine2025-11-14 04:17

She wasn’t a closely involved wife and parent in Black Widow, why would she be now?

Pyro_liska2025-11-14 11:39

In Black Widow she still worked for Red Room. Alexei was still in prison. Natasha was an Avenger and Yelena mind controlled.

EcksFountain1322025-11-15 21:54

She was far more complicit in what was done to the Widows then Alexei really.

Markus28222025-11-15 08:28

It’s almost like that movie rekindles their relationship as a family and brings them together or something

BlueHero452025-11-14 05:02

Did she abandon them? Both took jobs in America, both wouldn't admit they aren't doing great job wise. For all we know they have a group chat.

_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_2025-11-14 09:39

*pretend husband and daughter

Remy1492025-11-14 16:29

He wasn’t her real husband and they were never her actual children. Out of all of them she was the most emotionally disconnected and is extremely dedicated to her experiments

Ill-Dimension-29962025-11-14 07:16

why tho why they weren’t going to mention natasha?

PitytheOnlyFools2025-11-14 13:19

Yelena had to be lonely.

dorv2025-11-14 15:57

Natasha defines Yelena’s current trauma. Not mentioning her would have been stupid. Good on Pugh for pushing for it.

(I thought it was stupid when the character was at her lowest in the films and she’s essentially within a quarter block from a plaque honoring Nat - and the rest of the Avengers - for the Battle of New York and they didn’t revisit it was dumb. That’s the kind of thing the Marcel producers are usually great about helping the directors/writers connect to).

makeitflashy2025-11-14 18:42

That’s so crazy. That’s her entire emotional arc.

OliviaElevenDunham2025-11-14 21:18

It's a shame that Melina wasn't in Thunderbolts. Really liked her, Alexei, and Yelena in Black Widow.

Jaideco2025-11-14 00:06

She did appear in early drafts of the script but as far as I know, Rachel Weisz never signed on for Thunderbolts so any role that she had will have been cut. I’m sure that Melina is still out there somewhere, maybe she just wasn’t in America for the events of Thunderbolts.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-11-14 00:30

gglasshheart2025-11-14 02:35

Some people theorize the entire universe will be rebooted after Secret Wars but there are no facts to back this up. Speculation is fun, but we genuinely have no idea where the story will go after Secret Wars. Can't assume that any exact comic storyline will be adapted.

I'll be so happy for the post Secret Wars reboot. Less top-heavy continuity to deal with, fewer questions about why characters are absent. Everyone in their own franchises for a little while and more freedom.
