Well Marvel fans, its been a minute between movies. 2025 is shaping up to be a good one for Marvel Studios once again after pulling back on their releases and working on the movies/TV more in-depth given the recent success of Deadpool & Wolverine.
This time, we assemble what’s been dubbed the “anti-avengers” but this trailer makes it a point to let the viewer know that this is not the Avengers.
We have some familiar faces making a comeback for this one including Yelena Belova from Black Widow & Hawkeye (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian from Black Widow (David Harbour), John Walker aka US Agent from The Falcon & Winter Solider series (Wyatt Russell), Ghost from Ant-Man & The Wasp (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster from Black Widow (Olga Kurylenko), Bucky Barnes aka Winter Solider (Sebastian Stan), Valentina Allegra de Fontaine from Black Widow and The Falcon & Winter Solider (Julia Louis-Dreyfus).
Included in the trailer was a new character known as Bob (Lewis Pullman) which is heavily rumored to be Sentry from the Marvel Comics. Sentry for those who don’t know is Marvel’s answer to Superman.
While the trailer doesn’t give too much away in terms of a storyline and plot, it shows us bringing these characters together for some reason.
One funny thing to come out of the trailer was Bucky using a dishwasher to keep his arm clean. When asked about Bucky using his dishwasher to clean his vibranium arm, Stan joked that its “efficient.”
“One has to at some point make sure that things do get clean, and so that’s a very efficient way of doing it fast,” Stan joked. “He uses a lot less water too, a lot less water in the dishwasher.”
The only other major talking point from this is the notable asterisk at the end of the title. MCU’s Kevin Feige was asked about this back at CinemaCon earlier this year and his answer was quite simple “That is the official title of Thunderbolts* and we won’t talk more about that until after the movie comes out.”
Thunderbolts* is due to hit cinemas on the 2nd May 2025
