The film sees the likes of Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, and US Agent return, and judging by the newly released trailer, the tone seems pretty light-hearted, with action and humor taking the spotlight. We could be in for aDeadpool and Wolverine-style team-up movie, then. But, if you’re still largely in the dark about the new movie, though, we have everything you need to know. That includes the Thunderbolts* release date, the lowdown on the latest trailers, the cast, and all the news and plot rumors circling around.

So, for all you need to know about this MCU movie about a team of beloved misfits, head to the below for all your questions answered.

The Thunderbolts* cast features some major returning faces, and most of them are big-time stars.

While we are still waiting to see if we’ll be getting any surprise casting news and new characters, we have listed all the full and confirmed Thunderbolts* cast for you below:

If you aren’t fussed about watching the clip above, though, here’s our summary: it shows the team at first coming to blows and then ultimately teaming up together under Valentina’s direction – along with newcomer Bob, who may or may not be Sentry. Bucky also seems to be keeping an eye on Valentina, and, at one point, he attacks the Thunderbolts*. Yelena, meanwhile, is searching for purpose. Oh and there is also a car chase featuring some jokes that lasts for about a minute as well.

Not a whole lot is known about the Thunderbolts* plot just yet. Obviously, we know it’ll see a band of misfits teaming up. Beyond that, though, it’s a mystery.

Judging by the trailer, it looks like each of the Thunderbolts is searching for purpose, and of course, the mystery of Lewis Pullman’s Bob and his true identity will likely make up a decent chunk of the plot. The Thunderbolts* also look to be going up against those “worse guys” Valentina is talking about in the footage.

However, to be honest, the trailer still doesn’t give much away (despite being nearly four minutes long). We’ll keep you updated as more details and story rumors head our way.

However, we did get a clue about the asterisks in the recent trailer for the movie. In the teaser, we see the Red Guardian scream, “We are the Thunderbolts!” Bucky then shakes his head and says, “We can’t call ourselves that.”

That’s a wrap on Thunderbolts*. For more, see our guides on watching theMarvel movies in orderand theMarvel timeline.
