The film will present a range of antihero characters including Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) on May 2, 2025. The team faces its daunting task under the command of Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) who states with foreboding tone "The Avengers are not coming."

Who is the Villain in Thunderbolts?

The trailer brings viewers the first glimpse of a formidable shadowy being who many believe is Sentry which Lewis Pullman performs in the role. As a DC Comics character Sentry employs the ability of one million exploding suns together with his dark alter ego, The Void. The video shows an upcoming clash of extreme intensity between the Thunderbolts and their mysterious opponent.

Marvel steps up for a change

The Thunderbolts series represents a significant change for Marvel because it presents audiences with morally ambiguous narratives which examine the costs of redemption and infinite strength. The upcoming Marvel movie is expected to become one of the most compelling additions to their cinematic universe because fans are unsure if Sentry will prove himself as a hero or fall into villainy despite his split personality.

The public can expect additional information from Marvel about their upcoming films leading to their release.
