Marvel Studios has unveiled a first-look promo trailer for their highly anticipated film Thunderbolts at D23 Brazil, giving fans an exciting glimpse into the next chapter of the MCU. Directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts introduces a ragtag team of antiheroes who are recruited by the government for covert missions in a world where the Avengers no longer lead the charge. The film brings together a mix of familiar faces and new ones, starring Geraldine Viswanathan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Sebastian Stan, Florence Pugh, Olga Kurylenko, and Hannah John-Kamen.
Set in a post-Avengers world, Thunderbolts follows a team of supervillains who are reassembled to do the government's dirty work. These antiheroes, often more dangerous than they are heroic, will take on covert missions for the American government, exploring themes of redemption, power, and the blurred lines between good and evil. The team is led by the manipulative and enigmatic Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and includes familiar characters like Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), and the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), along with newcomers like Bob (Lewis Pullman) and others.
The film is written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo, based on the Thunderbolts comic series created by Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley. Fans of the comics will recognize the premise, which centers on a group of former villains and antiheroes who are given a chance at redemption—or at least a chance to fight for a cause that suits their own agendas. With a team that includes some of the most complex characters in the MCU, Thunderbolts is poised to explore deeper psychological and moral themes, while still delivering the high-octane action Marvel fans expect.
Thunderbolts is slated for release on May 2, 2025, and with this new trailer, Marvel has teased a fresh, darker, and more unpredictable side of the MCU. As this team of antiheroes assembles for their first big mission, it’s clear that their journey will be anything but conventional. With such a unique roster of characters, Thunderbolts promises to be one of the most exciting and unpredictable films in Marvel’s upcoming slate. Fans are already buzzing about what’s in store for these characters, and the trailer has left many eager to see how the MCU will handle this shift in tone and direction.
