In case you weren’t aware, there is a brand new Marvel Studios film currently in production. Director Jake Schreier has actually given us the best info on the upcoming film, saying “Thunderbolts” will be a new approach, and a new story. Which is interesting, considering how many former characters we’ll see returning.
“It was just a really different approach and a new kind of story to tell amidst that, which I know they’ve made so many things, but it’s not a sequel,” Schreier said. “Yes, these characters have appeared before, but it is a new story being told and a story, I think, with a very different perspective than maybe people aren’t expecting, and I think that that felt exciting and felt like a real challenge worth taking on.”
Okay, what about that returning cast?
Florence Pugh (“Dune Part Two“) returns as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, and Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster. Harrison Ford joins the MCU as General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, and Geraldine Viswanathan replaces Ayo Edebiri. We still don’t know who’s replacing Steven Yeun.
Pugh actually just broke some cardinal rules of working for Marvel Studios- posting a video from set, which pretty much takes fans on a tour.
“Thunderbolts” will hit theaters July 25th, 2025.
