Check Out The Awesome New Trailer For THUNDERBOLTS*

By Michelle McCue | February 10, 2025

In 1969 the master of the American western, Sam Peckinpah, directed a stellar cast in THE WILD BUNCH, a controversial film that breathed new life into the genre and broke ground in the realistic portrayal of screen violence. Receiving two Academy Award nominations, this bitter, brutal story of magnificent losers in a dying West remains one of the screen’s all-time classics. An explosive adventure drama about the last of the legendary lawless breed who lived to kill – and killed to live. The cast included William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O’Brien. Warren Oates and Ben Johnson.

Now comes a bunch of a different kind. the THUNDERBOLTS* – an unconventional team of antiheroes – Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. The cast features Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen and Julia Louis-Dreyfus and also includes newcomers to the MCU – Lewis Pullman (The Sentry/Robert Reynolds), Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer and Wendell Edward Pierce.

On Superbowl Sunday, Marvel Studios released a new trailer and poster for the upcoming feature film THUNDERBOLTS*. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late?

Watch the fun new trailer.

Wow – this is such a good trailer and kudos to whoever cut it together! We’re all excited for THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS movie, but Marvel needs a fun action packed movie to start of the summer. Fans have missed this from a Marvel movie as of late, and this gang has such good one-liners and great chemistry. Plus the trailer gave us a look at The Sentry – one of the most powerful villains in Marvel Comics – who could crush the team. In the comics he’s shown with the power to rip planets in half so the trailer’s emphasis on how the members of the Thunderbolts are not Heroes, not Super, not giving up, makes me want to see even more how all of this will play out.

In THE SENTRY/FANTASTIC FOUR 1 (2001) #1, Bob Reynolds has always been the best friend of Reed Richards. As the Sentry he stood by Mr. Fantastic against Dr. Doom and traveled with him into the Negative Zone. And Reed was the best man at Bob’s wedding! So if the Sentry remembers these monumental moments…why doesn’t anyone else?

Will there be a connection to the Fantastic Four and Earth 616? And how will The Void play into the next phase of the MCU?

The studio also announced the exciting news that Son Lux will be scoring THUNDERBOLTS*. The three-member, American experimental band was Oscar and BAFTA-nominated for their score for 2022’s best picture “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Jake Schreier directs THUNDERBOLTS* with Kevin Feige producing. Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek and Jason Tamez serve as executive producers.

Marvel Studios’ THUNDERBOLTS* opens in U.S. theaters on May 2, 2025.
