Thunderbolts* Drops a New Trailer During the Super Bowl

Red Guardian is sure this team of misfits, who absolutely don’t want to be known as the Thunderbolts, is worthy of a Wheaties box. So, of course, the new poster for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* looks like a Wheaties box.

The much-anticipated action comedy debuted a new trailer during the 2025 Super Bowl won by the Philadelphia Eagles.

The comic book-inspired film stars Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Newbies to the MCU include Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, and Wendell Edward Pierce.

“In Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes — 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 that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts,” reads Marvel’s synopsis. “Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late?”

Jake Schreier (Beef) directs and Kevin Feige serves as a producer. Executive producers include Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek, and Jason Tamez. Oscar-nominated Son Lux (Everything Everywhere All at Once) will write the score.

Thunderbolts* opens in theaters on May 2, 2025.
