What is Marvel's Thunderbolts* about?
While much has not been said about the upcoming movie, the teasers and trailers for the movie suggest that Thunderbolts* is about a group of antiheroes going on missions for the government. An article on March 27, 2025, on Radio Times, also suggests the synopsis of the movie to be the same.
Moreover, the article provides useful background information regarding the origin of the Thunderbolts in Marvel comics, observing that the team originally comprised supervillains, who tactically disguised themselves as heroes while the Avengers were absent. In real life, they were the Masters of Evil and were commanded by Baron Helmut Zemo.
Having said that, IMDb does have a small description of the upcoming movie, which reads:
"After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts."
Who is in the cast of the movie?
The cast of Thunderbolts is led by Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, and David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov or Red Guardian.
Additional members of the cast include Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/ Ghost, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Wyatt Russell as John Walker/ U.S. Agent, Geraldine Viswanathan as Mel, Lewis Pullman as Bob/ Sentry, and Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/ Taskmaster.
Apart from the mentioned names, various rumors about numerous other actors and characters appearing in the movie have been going around. However, nothing has been officially confirmed yet. Taking into consideration the fact that the date of release of the film is close, it is quite likely that announcements about other details of the cast will be released only after the movie.
