Thunderbolts is a follow-up to 2021’s Black Widow, and directed by Jake Schreier and stars Wyatt Russell as US Agent/failed Captain America from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. 

The new sneak peek shows our plucky band of misfits in Alexei’s big limo with a military convoy in pursuit. Yelena fires at the convoy, but the humvees unexpectedly explode. Bucky rides through the smoldering ruins on a motorcycle, prompting Alexei to fanboy a little (“that guy’s so cool”). He is less thrilled when Bucky opens fire on them. Cut to the new trailer, in which the gang walk into the old Avengers tower and find Valentina waiting for them. Yep, she purchased it. “How crazy is it to think of all the monumental fights that happened exactly here where you’re standing?” she says. “I mean, the place wasn’t cheap but it’s good optics.” The rest of the trailer takes some time to introduce our central characters and their respective skill sets. There’s a lot of humor and plenty of action—classic Marvel fare. And it seems Alexei is the one who comes up with the name Thunderbolts. The whole antihero thing seems to be working for Marvel thus far given the box office success of Deadpool and Wolverine. Perhaps the PG-13 version will continue that trend.

Thunderbolts is slated for a May 2, 2025 release and will conclude the MCU’s Phase Five.
