One of the novelties announced by Marvel Studios on Saturday (23/10) during the International Comic-Con in San Diego, calls attention to the introduction of a new group in the MCU (the Marvel Cinematic Universe): the first Thunderbolts movie , who was responsible for closing Phase 5 of the study in July 2024.
For those who don’t follow the comics, Thunderbolts sounds like a bunch of heroes. But appearances can be deceiving.
The group actually poses as superheroes, but is actually made up of supervillains, in disguise who hide their true identities. In the comics, they were trained by Baron Zemo and seem to do great rescues and heroic acts only when he suits them, hiding their true goals.
In addition to Zemo, the group has had cameos from Absorbing Man, Crossbones, Bullseye, Ghost, Venom, Swordsman, Radioactive Man, Taskmaster, Batroc, Moondragon and some ambivalent superheroes such as Black Widow, Winter Soldier., Hawkeye, Luke Cage, Moon Knight. , Punisher, Ghost Rider, Elektra, Deadpool and members of the Inhumans – among many others. The vast majority of these characters have already appeared in live-action in the MCU.
According to Deadline, Marvel has already contacted some interpreters of the characters who are part of the MCU to make sure they are available to reprise their roles in the production.
A viable theory is that, in the movies, the Thunderbolts are the group formed by Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss), who has already recruited the new Black Widow (Florence Pugh) and the US agent (Wyatt Russell). in the movie “Black Widow” and in the series “Falcon and the Winter Soldier”. In addition to them, the behavior of Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) in “The Hawk and the Winter Soldier” may also indicate a candidate, without the same Zemo (Daniel Brühl), seen in the same series.
The film already has a screenplay, which was signed by Eric Pearson, screenwriter of “Black Widow”, and will be directed by Jake Schreier, from “Frank and the Robot” (2012), “Paper Towns” (2015) and music videos by Benny Blanco, Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper.
Shooting is scheduled for just a year from now, in the North American summer (our winter) of 2023.
