THUNDERBOLTS* First-Look Revealed at SDCC

At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Marvel Studios revealed a first-look at the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie and additionally showed fans a first-look teaser trailer at the film. The movie brings to life a whole new team of MCU anti-heroes and teases a weird, but fun adventure with those characters who aren’t always squeaky clean. Thunderbolts*, of course, features Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine, Ghost, Red Guardian, Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes (a.k.a Winter Soldier), US Agent, and Taskmaster. And this first-look Thunderbolts* teaser trailer gives us a little bit of a look at how exactly these pieces will begrudgingly come together.

The Thunderbolts* teaser reveals a whole new kind of tone for an MCU movie. And we suppose that makes sense since this will be the first Marvel Studios movie after Deadpool & Wolverine, which was certainly a unique experience. But we are all for this new era of Marvel mayhem.

The teaser focuses on Yelena (Florence Pugh). She knocks on Alexei (David Harbour)’s door who cleans himself up as he welcomes her into his messy apartment. He asks what brings her there, and she says something’s wrong with her, an emptiness. She tried to throw herself into work after Natasha’s death, and we see cuts of her killing people. We then cut to Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) again with long hair. Cut back to Yelena and she fights US Agent (Wyatt Russell) and Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen).

They all do bad things. Eventually Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) arrives and tells them there are no good guys and bad guys. There are only bad guys and worse guys. We then get a montage of action, and a shot of Bucky’s arm in a dishwasher. Valentina assembles them all, the Thunderbolts are definitely the baddie Avengers.

Well, we didn’t see that one coming. The full title of the Thunderbolts* is Thunderbolts*

Who makes up the MCU Thunderbolts team? Valentina, red guardian, Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, US Agent, and Taskmaster high res
