‘Thunderbolts’ Movie Roster Confirmed at D23


 Thunder … THUNder … THUNDER … THUNDERBOLTS! HOOOOOOO!

Wait, sorry. Wrong IP.

As an apparent response to all the knuckleheads saying that Marvel Studios wasn’t building up to anything in Phase Four, the studio revealed the lineup for its 2024 Thunderbolts movie during its D23 presentation. Thunderbolts is based on Marvel’s team of supervillains-turned-good, so it stands to reason that the lineup is full of reformed baddies.

Here’s the lineup as we now know it:

  • Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh)
  • Winter Soldier/James “Bucky” Barnes (Sebastian Stan)
  • John Walker/U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell)
  • Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian (David Harbour)
  • Valentina Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus)
  • Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko)
  • Ava Starr/Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen)

I would absolutely LOVE to say that Yelena is the new Black Widow, but I don’t think we’re there yet narratively.

Marvel Studios’ Phase Five film Thunderbolts – directed by Jake Schreier – is set for theatrical release on July 26, 2024.
