Marvel formally introduced it was making a Thunderbolts film again at San Diego Comic-Con. But the Thunderbolts group has been round for many years, and in that point they’ve had a complete bunch of various incarnations and lineups. Some variations are made up fully of super-villains in disguise. Others have featured heroes like Hawkeye or Luke Cage main teams of reformed villains. Sometimes the Thunderbolts are vigilantes, and different occasions they work for the federal government. Marvel Studios may have gone quite a lot of other ways with the idea.
At D23 they revealed a bit extra about their plan — together with the lineup of the group. The MCU’s Thunderbolts might be Valentina (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Black Widow (Florence Pugh), Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko).
Here was the idea artwork of the group they confirmed off:
It‘s an interesting mix of characters, some of whom have been in Thunderbolts comics, others of which have been teased for the team through their various appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. And plenty of the characters have history together; Black Widow and Red Guardian are (sort of) father and daughter, while Taskmaster was one of their enemies in the Black Widow movie, which should be… interesting.
The most surprising name who’s not featured within the lineup is Zemo, performed by Daniel Bruhl, who beforehand appeared in Captain America: Civil War and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In Marvel Comics, Zemo was the primary individual to assemble a group of Thunderbolts, and he’s been both affiliated with or opposed the group many occasions by the years. Given how he was portrayed in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, he appeared like a lock for this film, however until they’re saving him involvement as a shock in a future announcement, he’s not a member of the MCU T-Bolts.
Thunderbolts is scheduled to premiere solely in theaters on July 26, 2024.
