Marvel's First Thunderbolts Trailer Reveals The MCU's Twisted Avengers

As a seasoned gamer and Marvel Cinematic Universe aficionado with over two decades of comic book-inspired adventures under my belt, I can confidently say that the “Thunderbolts” trailer has sent shockwaves through my gaming universe! With a stellar cast, intriguing plot twists, and tantalizing hints at the cosmic mysteries yet to unravel, it’s clear that Marvel Studios is cooking up another masterpiece.


The long-awaited trailer for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Thunderbolts” is now available online, offering a tantalizing glimpse of a team attempting to emulate the Avengers. Upon initial viewing, Marvel enthusiasts found themselves puzzled by the lineup, but intrigue quickly set in as Yelena Belova (played by Florence Pugh) takes charge of an unconventional group. Despite her ongoing grief over the loss of her sister Natasha (Scarlett Johansson), Yelena finds solace in this ragtag team, which includes her father, the Red Guardian (David Harbor), who is also along for the ride.

Introducing the captivating father-daughter dynamic, we have a group of rugged protagonists and reformed antagonists you may recognize. Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) adds his vibranium-enhanced punch to the mix, while John Walker, or U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), takes up his own shield to defend, alongside a more composed Ava Starr, Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), compared to her previous appearance in “Ant-Man and the Wasp.” The Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) also joins the fray, having been under the watch of the remaining Widows. But what peril could possibly assemble these potential saviors? Buckle up, because this seemingly ordinary gang may be confronting yet another formidable cosmic entity – yes, another one – though he goes by Bob (Lewis Pullman, replacing Steven Yeun in the role).

The Thunderbolts trailer gives our first look at The Sentry

He might look like a timid soul, but underneath the mild-mannered Bob Reynolds is the incredible power of a million exploding suns known as the Sentry. Rumored to be the target of the Thunderbolts in the new film, the Sentry debuted in 2000 as a forgotten hero that had erased himself from existence to the point that even those he fought alongside failed to recall him. The drastic action is due to learning that the Sentry is one half of a powerful being known as the Void, which is more of an entity than the desolate wasteland from “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

Although no official word has been given about peeking into Bob’s Void (which sounds like a term from “The Boys”), the real enigma lies in the tiny detail – that curious asterisk next to “Thunderbolts”*. As stated by Kevin Feige (via Screen Rant), “This is the actual title of ‘Thunderbolts,’ and we won’t reveal any more about it until after the movie has been released.” Could it be possible that this asterisk hints at a footnote for the team in the grand plan, and the storyline unfolding in “Captain America: Brave New World” is setting up this squad to become the new version of the Avengers? All these puzzles will surely be unraveled next year when “Thunderbolts*” arrive on May 2, 2025.
