(VOR News) – The first trailer for Thunderbolts, which is scheduled to be the final film in Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been released by Marvel Studios.
Yes, the asterisk is on purpose, and no, Marvel Studios chief Keven Feige has not yet provided an explanation as to why this is the case.
The trailer, which can be found below, begins with Yelena Belova, played by Florence Pugh, paying a visit to her father, the Red Guardian, played by David Harbour, who is not necessarily in the best of positions. Neither of the characters appears to be especially content with their situation, and it is obvious that both of them are in need of some stimulation.
We see this anti-hero team-up take shape over the course of the trailer, with Wyatt Russell playing the role of John Walker, a United States Agent, Hannah John-Kamen playing the role of Ava Starr, a Ghost, and Olga Kurylenko playing the role of Antonia Dreykov, a Taskmaster.
All of these characters are attempting to make sense of what is happening to them while they are engaged in combat with one another. In the upcoming installment, Sebastian Stan will resume his role as Bucky Barns / Winter Soldier.
According to the video, Bucky will engage in combat with the Thunderbolts before eventually becoming the de facto head of the Thunderbolts.
The character of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who is purportedly in charge of the Thunderbolts, is played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus at one time in the show.
The most exciting part, however, is the first glimpse of Bob, also known as Sentry, played by Lewis Pullman. He appears perplexed when the rest of the squad show up without prior notice.
Lewis Pullman, a Thunderbolts alumni, portrayed Top Gun Sentry:
Maverick took over the position after Steven Yeun, who had previously played the role, resigned from his job. The son of actor Bill Pullman, Pullman gave a memorable performance as Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd in the film Top Gun: Maverick, which was released in 2022.
Other notable credits include the neo-noir thriller Bad Times at the El Royale, which was released in 2018, the television series Outer Range, and most recently, Apple’s Lessons in Chemistry, in which he starred opposite Marvel star Brie Larson.
The role of Sentry became vacant after Yeun was forced to withdraw from the Thunderbolts lineup due to scheduling conflicts.
This was due to the fact that the movie was pushed back from the 2024 release slate as a result of a major reshuffle that occurred as a result of the dual writers and actor strikes. As a result, Deadpool and Wolverine would be the only Marvel Cinematic Universe movie that would be released this year.
Sentry is possibly the most dangerous and powerful superhero in the Marvel Universe.
Outside of Thunderbolts Marvel’s comics, he has little exposure.
The only time he has appeared outside of Marvel’s comics is in a few mobile games, such as Marvel Puzzle Quest, Marvel Future Fight, and Marvel Snap. Therefore, it will be interesting to see the character brought to life on the big screen.
Beef screenwriter Lee Sung Jin is working from the initial draft of the screenplay that was written by Black Widow screenwriter Eric Pearson. Jake Schreier is directing Thunderbolts, which is based on the script that Lee Sung Jin wrote.
In an earlier statement, David Harbour stated that Pearson had a “really cool” idea for the plot, which would “drop a bomb” on the Marvel Cinematic Universe sometime in the future when it is released in theatres.
In May of 2025, Thunderbolts will play in theatres.
