The highly anticipated “Thunderbolts” movie is drawing near, with fans eagerly looking forward to some thrilling, high-octane scenes featuring a stellar cast led by Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, and David Harbour. Recently, it has been revealed that Julia Louis-Dreyfus, renowned for her roles in “Veep” and “Seinfeld,” will also be part of the action-packed ensemble. Louis-Dreyfus has made a quiet impact as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, the CIA director who assembles the Thunderbolts team. Previously seen in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “Black Widow,” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Louis-Dreyfus will have a more significant role in “Thunderbolts” and will take part in the action.
On “The Julia Cunningham Show” airing on SiriusXM, Dreyfuss openly revealed to the host that she was completely ready for a comedic performance.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: To be honest, I’ve got no problem with leaping from a skyscraper. However, it’s actually Florence who is handling that task at the moment. What I meant was, there were certain physical feats I undertook that brought me great joy. I suppose I shouldn’t disclose too much, though. Yes.
As a film enthusiast, I must admit, your intense training regimen really caught my attention! Stepping out of one’s comfort zone is something rarely seen from you on-screen, and it certainly piqued my curiosity.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Indeed, and one of the reasons was because when I first spoke with them, I made it clear that I wasn’t just interested in casually strolling down a corridor for a chat. Instead, I wanted to engage, to delve in, to roll up my sleeves and play. To some extent, I managed to do so within the context of this movie.
What Else Julia Louis-Dreyfus Shared About ‘Thunderbolts*’
In Summer 2024, Louis-Dreyfus appeared alongside the cast of Thunderbolts during Marvel’s panel at Comic-Con in Hall H. There, she shared that her character, Val, seeks power, control, and enjoys causing a ruckus in the Marvel universe, stating, “Val aspires to be powerful, domineering, and simply loves to assert herself in the Marvel world.” Louis-Dreyfus also discussed her foray into action with Julia Cunningham on her show.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but wonder if we might see even more of your incredible talent on display! Your performances always leave me in awe, and my mind immediately jumps to the idea of you gracing The White Lotus. But then I start thinking about a Mission: Impossible reboot starring none other than Julia Louis-Dreyfus, following the final showdown. That would be simply incredible!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Yeah. Yes. Yes. I think we should do that. 100%.
Julia Cunningham: Is that something that you’ll maybe like look more towards script-wise?
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Actually, what attracted me to this project was that it wasn’t similar to anything I had done previously.
Julia Cunningham: Totally.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Beyond just wanting to impress my sons, what truly captivated me was the prospect of delving into a realm where I might not be expected. In essence, the thought of testing the waters, perhaps even fully immersing myself, in such an unconventional role was enticing. Plus, as many actors might agree, there’s something appealing about tackling something entirely fresh, and this opportunity certainly fit that description.
Tomorrow, April 22, I’ll be privileged to witness the world premiere of “Thunderbolts” at the iconic Cineworld in Leicester Square, London. After that, it’s off to U.S. theaters on May 2, 2025, brought to you by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. If you can’t wait like me, tune into The Julia Cunningham Show, a lively hour-long pop culture and entertainment extravaganza that airs weekdays at 3pm ET/12pm PT from the SiriusXM LA Studios on Radio Andy (Ch. 102). You can catch the interview segment anytime on the SiriusXM app. Enjoy the sneak peek below!
