Marvel Studios released the trailer for Thunderbolts*, and some fans have noted that the movie looks to be answering a seven-year-old Marvel question. In 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, it was revealed that Tony Stark had sold Avengers Tower since the team was operating out of their new upstate facility introduced at the end of 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. Since Spider-Man: Homecoming, fans have speculated who bought Avengers Towers, particularly after it was teased in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Fan speculation ranged from the Kingpin to the MCU Norman Osborn, and even the new Baxter Building for Marvel’s first family before Fantastic Four: First Steps was confirmed as being set in another universe.
X user BJET points out that the Thunderbolts* trailers seem to confirm that audiences will see Avengers Tower. It includes the team confronting Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) in the tower with the skyline being the same southeast view from the MetLife Building, where the Avengers Tower, formerly Stark Tower, originally stood. The reveal of Thunderbolts* featuring the former superhero building was previously reported by audiences in attendance at Marvel’s Hall H panel at 2024’s San Diego Comic-Con, as we outlined previously here. With the footage now available to everyone, more audiences can verify the information. See BJET’s original post below:
I was reluctant to assume it's Avengers Tower immediately – but it is.

That skyline is the south east view from the MetLife, with the UN building on the left and Gotham Point on the right. The MetLife is where Avengers Tower is in the MCU.#Thunderbolts https://t.co/kjSmSK8Iwp pic.twitter.com/pxCho9mr8b
