As a seasoned gamer and ardent Marvel fanatic with over two decades of comic book lore under my belt, I must admit that the latest Thunderbolts* trailer has sent me into an uncontrollable frenzy! The concept of antiheroes banding together to combat a common enemy has always been intriguing, and seeing it come to life in the MCU is nothing short of exhilarating.
Among the 2025 Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, Thunderbolts* has garnered the most enthusiasm from fans. They’ve been given an exciting sneak peek at the main team and a peculiar situation that brings together their unique agendas, thanks to intriguing new footage.
From its inception in 2014, the idea of creating a “Thunderbolts” movie has been an ambitious endeavor. Initially proposed by filmmaker James Gunn, who was then working on Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects, the concept of adapting the Marvel comics team for the big screen gained approval following the success of “Guardians of the Galaxy.” However, Gunn declined to work on the project when it resurfaced in 2021 due to his involvement with DC’s “The Suicide Squad,” as both projects featured similar themes. Fans echoed this skepticism when a potential plot for the “Thunderbolts” movie was leaked, revealing striking similarities to what had already been presented by competitors.
For some, their worries would lessen as more information about Thunderbolts surfaced, following a leaked trailer from San Diego Comic Con. Now, the studio has officially released a trailer for the upcoming film, satisfying fans’ anticipation for details and intrigue. This trailer was posted on the Marvel Entertainment YouTube channel and begins with Florence Pugh’s character Yelena visiting David Harbour’s Red Guardian, discussing her internal struggles about purpose despite immersing herself in work. The trailer hints at others experiencing similar feelings, showing brief glimpses of this; Red Guardian living a sad life in an apartment, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker struggling in suburban monotony, and even Sebastian Stan’s Bucky dealing with government matters. The plot starts to develop when Walker and Yelena engage in a confrontation at a secret facility, which is then joined by Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost and Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that someone wants these antiheroes eliminated. In the end, the trailer introduces the main characters, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra de Fontaine appearing on screen and delivering a line that encapsulates the group’s essence perfectly.
We’re brought up with this belief that there are good guys and there are bad guys. But eventually, you come to realize that there are bad guys and there are worse guys. And nothing else.
The trailer effectively showcases the main storyline and characters in an engaging manner, while also including intriguing elements that add significance. A brief but crucial moment showcases Lewis Pullman’s character Bob, who initially appears timid and unassuming, yet gets involved in combat and demonstrates bulletproof abilities, hinting at speculations that he might embody the MCU’s Sentry – a character often compared to Marvel’s Superman. Although Steven Yeun had to vacate the Sentry role, Pullman looks promising in portraying the intricate character. Furthermore, the trailer maintains the typical light-hearted MCU tone with amusing dialogue exchanges and humorous scenes like Bucky withdrawing his bionic arm from a dishwasher.
The Thunderbolts trailer appears to hit all the right notes, with its distinctive yellow Marvel Studios emblem, gripping action sequences, and well-selected cast members. It carries the same authentic, enigmatic vibe as Captain America: Brave New World did following numerous reshoots and the release of its own trailer, which speaks volumes about the project. There’s not much more fans are clamoring for before the movie hits theaters in May, post-Valentine’s Day showing of Captain America: Brave New World. However, there are high expectations surrounding Thunderbolts, with one major question likely left unanswered by the trailer: whether or not it might serve as a fitting farewell for Bucky Barnes, who has become increasingly emblematic of the Avengers’ past and deserves a satisfying conclusion to his storyline.
Although the trailer for Thunderbolts followed a similar pattern as Marvel’s SDCC presentation by not explaining the asterisks, it has received a substantial amount of positive feedback compared to minimal negative responses, suggesting enthusiasm for the film. Despite the time until its release in theaters and potential changes that may occur, there’s a reason for optimism about Thunderbolts delivering a satisfying experience that has been long-awaited by the main MCU fanbase since late 2023.
Thunderbolts* is set for theatrical release in May 2025.
