Directed by Jake Schreier, with a script by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo, Thunderbolts* shakes up the Marvel Cinematic Universe by gathering a team unlike any other. The story brings together a cast of fan-favorite antiheroes — Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), and under the machinations of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus).
The official synopsis teases high stakes, betrayal, and possible redemption:
Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes with Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission. Forced to confront the darkest corners of their pasts, will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite before it’s too late?
Ensemble Cast and Marvel’s New Direction
Thunderbolts* stands out for its star-studded lineup, which also includes Lewis Pullman, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, and Wendell Pierce. The film explores themes of redemption, loyalty, and what it means to be a hero in the Marvel universe’s ever-expanding tapestry.
