Marvel Studios dropped the first official teaser trailer for Thunderbolts this morning. Black Widow’s adopted sister Yelena (Florence Pugh) is back, along with her dad Alexei Shostakov/the Red Guardian (David Harbour), Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), and the disgraced John Walker/aka US Agent (Wyatt Russell). There are plenty of other half-forgettable characters like Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) from Ant-Man and the Wasp, Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and a guy named Bob (Lewis Pullman) who is played by the same actor from Top Gun: Maverick whose character’s callsign was also named “Bob”.
They are conveniently assembled by CIA Director Valentina Allegra De Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss). This film seems to be the antithesis of The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. There’s no real synopsis of the film yet, but it looks like it will be a fun time. It does feel like whatever happens in Captain America: Brave New World may lead into this movie. Anyhow, here is the official trailer:
Careful who you assemble. Marvel Studios’ #Thunderbolts* is only in theaters May 2025.
