Thunderbolts* (雷霆特攻隊*) is an 2025 film. The movie stars an ensemble cast of Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, Wendell Pierce, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. This movie is part of the MCU and is the 36th installment.
Florence Pugh plays Yelena Belova, a black widow assassin trained in the red room. Yelena is a merc for hire and works for Julia Louis-Dreyfus's character of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, the director of the CIA. Yelena is sent on missions to assassinate targets for Valentina. When Valentina sends her other 3 operatives to the same spot to take out a target. Things don't work out and they assemble to get out of the situation. Bucky and the Red Gaurdian find out through his sources and goes to target location as well. Bucky and the assembled than have to assemble to take down Valentina who has been playing them all along. Will they be able to right the wrongs of Valentina?
I have not been consistent with Marvel lately and missed a couple of movies and all of the recent TV stuff on D+. As the internet chatter as been, I would agree that this Thunderbolts movie is a bit of a return to form. Will Fantastic Four and Doomsday rectify everything? It's hard to say as there was so much crap for so long.
I was not bored watching and the charater development was quite quick but satisfying. We have seen all these characters in the past and this movie gives us just a little more of what and who they are now. When they assembled, it made sense.
And you may have already found out that this movie is about depression and how to handle it. The story of the void and its shame rooms is evidence of that. And the film goes about dealing with this subject.
Not even a week in, the current cast is running around calling themselves "The New Avengers". Yikes! Cannot wait for the drama to unfold.
