Hey Marvel fans! We know 2023 was a bumpy ride for the comic-giant, but the future holds a lot of promise. We’re all excited about the slate of epic movies poised to hit the screens in the coming years, particularly one that has captured imaginations since the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the Thunderbolts!

Time to Understand, Who are the Thunderbolts?

First off, let’s start with a short history lesson. The Thunderbolts first appeared in a 1997 edition of The Incredible Hulk. This swarm of seeming superheroes showed up, wowing everyone with their might. But it wasn’t long before we found out they were supervillains, led by the notorious Baron Zemo. Their objective was to infiltrate and sell off secrets of other superhero teams and the S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Thunderbolts concept that Marvel seems to favor now is a team of former bad guys turned good. These guys are on a quest to reduce their prison terms or rectify their past wrongs, much like DC’s Suicide Squad.

The Thunderbolts Team in the MCU

In the MCU, Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, is doing the recruiting. So far, she’s roped in John Walker and Yelena Belova. Other recruits include Red Guardian, Task Master, and Ghost. The dynamic among these vastly different characters alone is enough to make us wish May 2025 could arrive tomorrow!

Meet The Sentry

The super-strong Sentry is the rumored villain of the piece. The Sentry’s creation, back in 2000, was part of a clever marketing plan. While appearing wholesome, he was actually destabilized and threatened to obliterate the entire Marvel Universe. This unexpected twist made him a fan-favorite.

The current scenario claims that Steven Yeun was set to play The Sentry, but schedule conflict forced him to bow out. Lewis Pullman is now tied to the role.

Teaser Trailer Breakdown

In the released trailer for Thunderbolts, Yelena recruits Red Guardian, with evidence suggesting that Valentina Allegra de Fontaine might be the movie’s antagonist. The scenes are powered by the iconic “Where is My Mind” by The Pixies. There’s also an adrenaline-pumping scene of Yelena jumping off what’s touted to be the world’s second tallest building, executed by Florence Pugh herself!

Looking Ahead

This thrilling team-up is set to release on May 2, 2025. In the meantime, Marvel has prepared an ensemble of Disney+ series set to roll out throughout the year to whet your appetite. While these may not be directly linked to the main MCU narrative, they are there to keep the fans enthralled. So hang tight, Marvel fans, Thunderbolts is on the way and it promises to shake things up!

Let us know how excited you are about Thunderbolts and what you think about Marvel’s direction in the comments. And remember, sometimes, it’s the bumpy rides that make the journey fascinating!
