A new trailer for theMCU’s upcomingThunderboltsmovie finally addresses key questions we’ve been asking for some time, like what’s up with that asterisk in the title?
The latest look at the movie sees antiheroes Yelena, Winter Soldier, Red Guardian, Ghost, John Walker, Taskmaster, and Bob, played by Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, and Lewis Pullman respectively.
As with any good MCU ensemble film, the new trailer shows us there will be plenty of fight scenes between the unlikely allies. When Bucky saves Yelena, Red Guardian, Ghost, and Walker from a hostile convoy, he then blows their car up, too. And Yelena, Ghost, and Walker all duke it out in some sort of storage room.
They’re all calm when they meet CIA head Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in Avengers Tower. She reveals that the CIA bought it, saying “this place wasn’t cheap, but it’s got good optics.”
I’m actually excited for this film, which isn’t something I was sure I’d say about the MCU again. It looks like a much more grounded approach to a teamup, using some interesting characters from the shows and later movies as well as introducing us to some new ones. I’m also glad it’s a movie and not another series I need to dedicate six hours to.
I am curious about Bob, also known as Sentry. Pullman says he doesn’t know if he’ll bea villain or a hero, but would “enjoy going in either direction.”
