Marvel Studios has finally dropped the first teaser trailer for “Thunderbolts,” giving fans a glimpse at the new supervillains team that is set to shake the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

“Thunderbolts” features a blend of misfits assembled by the US government for a special mission, with Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, seemingly leading the pack as she struggles to find her place after Black Widow.

The three-minute and 20-second trailer shows thrilling action sequences that tease the chaotic dynamics of the rogue team, with Yelena teaming up with John Walker/US Agent (Wyatt Russell), Ghost (Hannah John Caiman), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan).

The trailer also shows Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who’s tasked with managing the unlikely heroes, as well as an exciting glimpse into the unexpected addition to the team: Bob, aka Sentry (Lewis Pullman).

Unlike the Avengers group, who always stood for justice and a sleek way of saving the world, the crew of Thunderbolts represents the blurred lines between heroism and self-interest, forced to team up for the dirty work as they share the same goal for redemption.

Alongside the trailer, Marvel has also released the first poster for the film, with the tagline, “Careful Who You Assemble.” The film’s title with an emphasis on an asterisk (*) also made the audience question its relevance to the story, especially as Marvel is known for its easter eggs. 

Directed by Jake Schreier (Star Wars: Skeleton Crew), “Thunderbolts*” is expected to deliver a darker tone, more mature storytelling with a blend of action centered on moral dilemmas.

Slated for a 2025 release, “Thunderbolts” is inclined to challenge the meaning of what it means to be a hero.
