Marvel's 'Thunderbolts': Everything about the trailer, cast and premiere

During Super Bowl 2025, Marvel Studios took advantage of the impact of the event to release a new trailer for 'Thunderbolts', its next big cinematic venture within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This film, starring a group of antiheroes, promises a different approach to the usual films of the franchise, with a darker tone and a story of redemption.

A team of antiheroes outside the Avengers

'Thunderbolts' brings together several characters that we have already seen in the MCU, but instead of being traditional heroes, they have a more complex past. This team includes Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), US Agent (Wyatt Russell), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko). They are all under the direction of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), who seems to have his own interests.

The trailer makes it clear that The Avengers are not available to deal with the new threat, forcing the US government to turn to an unreliable team. Although the chemistry between the characters offers moments of humor, the overall tone seems more serious and focused on the moral dilemma faced by the protagonists.

Sentry: Hero or Villain?

One of the big surprises of the trailer is the presence of Sentry, played by Lewis Pullman. Comic book fans will recognize this character as an extremely powerful figure, comparable to Superman in the Marvel universe. However, his biggest problem is his evil alter ego known as Void, a dark entity capable of bringing chaos and destruction.

The trailer suggests that Sentry could become the main threat for the Thunderbolts, which would completely change the perception of the character within the MCU. This poses an interesting dynamic where the already dysfunctional team will have to face someone practically unbeatable.

Connections to the future of the MCU

The film will also include key moments that could connect with other MCU events. One of the most striking details that fans have spotted in the trailer is the revelation that Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has acquired the Avengers TowerThis fact, which has been the subject of speculation for years, seems to indicate that the history of the Thunderbolts will have great relevance for the future of the franchise.

Furthermore, the tone of the film suggests that Marvel is looking for a darker and more serious approach for this phase of the MCU, moving away from the multiverse to focus on more grounded threats and characters with more complex dilemmas. The Sebastian Stan's performance as Bucky Barnes promises to be key in this regard.
