The cast of Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* is bigger than fans initially thought.
Just before the release of “Thunderbolts,” an actress from the Marvel Cinematic Universe revealed that, aside from Florence Pugh and David Harbour, other cast members from the “Black Widow” series will also be appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s final Phase 5 movie.
Black Widow Star Confirms Her 2025 MCU Return
In a shocking reveal on social media, up-and-coming actress Violet McGraw (known for her roles in ‘M3GAN’ and ‘The Haunting of Hill House’), who portrayed young Yelena Belova in the 2021 film ‘Black Widow’, announced that she would be part of the upcoming ‘Thunderbolts’ project, delighting fans everywhere.
On Instagram, the actress shared a picture of a chair labeled as “Young Yelena,” hinting at an upcoming project. She tagged Marvel Studios and used the #Thunderbolts hashtag in her post’s caption.
Florence Pugh, who plays adult Yelena, replied to Violet’s post with the following:
“You are so so good in the movie Violet. I’m so proud of you. Xx”
Although Violet portrayed a youthful character based on one of the main stars from Thunderbolts, her part in the movie wasn’t officially announced or even hinted at before its premiere, resulting in Violet’s appearance as a pleasant and unanticipated surprise.
What Young Yelena’s Thunderbolts* Role Means
The marketing strategy for “Thunderbolts” seems to primarily highlight Florence Pugh’s character, Yelena Belova, and her individual internal conflict, although the film appears to feature an ensemble cast.
Given the past relationship between Yelena and David Harbour’s Red Guardian, as well as the insights provided by the film “Black Widow” regarding her childhood, it is quite logical to include a few flashbacks focusing on Violet.
Although it might differ, the unique viewpoint and possible experiences of young Yelena could vary significantly from what we’ve previously seen in the Red Room, as fans have only witnessed this through the perspective of Natasha Romanoff up until now.
It’s yet unclear if her secrecy surrounding the young actress’ whereabouts plays any role in the situation.
Despite any other factors, Violet McGraw’s portrayal of young Yelena underscores Marvel Studios’ personal connection to Black Widow, and it’s anticipated that her emotional tale will serve as the central focus in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.
