Marvel Studios has actually dropped a prolonged teaser trailer for the last function movie in its Phase Six slate: Thunderbolts *now with a mystical asterisk to the title. The studio has actually promoted the movie as having a various tone from other current MCU offerings– thanks in part to working with “a crew of indie veterans who sold out” to make the movie– and evaluating from the teaser, it appears like they simply may provide on that.

As formerly reported,Thunderbolts *is a follow-up of sorts to 2021’s Black WidowIt’s directed by Jake Schreier and stars Wyatt Russell as United States Agent/failed Captain America from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Contessa Valentina Allegra, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, David Harbour as Alexei/Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster, and Lewis Pullman as Bob/The Sentry.

In addition, Geraldine Viswanathan plays Valentina’s assistant, Mel, and Harrison Ford will look like Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, aka Red Hulk, aka the United States president. (Ford’s character will likewise appear in February’s Captain America: Brave New World) Laurence Fishburne and Rachel Weisz will repeat their MCU functions as Bill Foster and Melina Vostokoff, respectively.

There’s no main run-through yet, however the studio explains the movie as “an irreverent team-up featuring depressed assassin Yelena Belova alongside the MCU’s least anticipated band of misfits.” It’s generally the MCU’s variation of The Suicide Squad; in reality, James Gunn was initially connected to direct ThunderboltsBowed out after making The Suicide Squad since he felt the tasks were simply too comparable.

The three-and-a-half-minute teaser trailer seems comparable to the video revealed to guests at San Diego Comic-Con. It opens with Yelena going to Alexei, who at first believes it’s a DoorDash order. Alexei is plainly refraining from doing well regardless of firmly insisting that he has lots of work and is “so full, so filled.” Yelena admits sensation empty misery because Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) passed away in Avengers: Endgameregardless of tossing herself into her assassination work. As she explains herself as wandering and doing not have function, we see Bucky and United States Agent looking likewise depressed.

We see Yelena doing her deal with excellent performance up until she strolls into what seems a trap. As she fights United States Agent and Ghost, they come across a nebbishy Bob prowling in the background– and after that the space locks down. Hint Valentina revealed at an elegant gala as she ponders about the enduring belief in heros and bad guys. “But eventually you come to realize that there are bad guys and there are worse guys, and nothing else,” she states. Naturally she desires all those depressed assassins and antiheroes for her own distorted variation of the Avengers.

There’s a lot of action and great deals of wisecracking humor, consisting of an entertaining shot of Bucky eliminating his arm from the dishwashing machine and reattaching it. And unlike Alexei’s “bulletproof-ish” automobile, Bob ends up being genuinely bulletproof (thanks to a significant infusion of extremely soldier serum).

Thunderbolts * hits theaters on May 2, 2025.
