Marvel Studios thrilled fans today at the inaugural D23 event in Brazil, unveiling a new, extended look at the highly anticipated film Thunderbolts, set to release on May 2, 2025. David Harbour, who stars as Red Guardian, made a special appearance to introduce the new trailer, igniting excitement among attendees eager for this unique addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Thunderbolts assembles a less-than-likely team, headlined by Yelena Belova, the skilled assassin who struggles with her own shadows, played by Florence Pugh. This gritty, somewhat cynical crew of misfits includes familiar faces and new antiheroes, creating a blend of characters unlike any previous Marvel ensemble. The cast boasts MCU regulars like Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, and Wyatt Russell, along with Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, Wendell Edward Pierce, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

The film’s distinctive tone, described as “irreverent,” is helmed by director Jake Schreier, known for his work with independent filmmaking and unique storytelling perspectives. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige produces the film, with Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek, and Jason Tamez serving as executive producers.
With Thunderbolts, Marvel Studios hopes to captivate audiences by pushing the boundaries of the superhero genre, presenting characters who don’t quite fit the heroic mold but possess the depth, skills, and personality to make for a thrilling team-up. Fans around the world can look forward to the release next spring, as Thunderbolts promises to add a fresh, daring chapter to the MCU.
