Thunderbolts*: Marvel’s Suicide Squad?
With its casting of marginalized disillusioned and its most sealed atmosphere than usual, Thunderbolts* It is less as a Marvel superhero film than a political thriller that has accumulated from despair. In the new trailer presented today, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) are presented as broken figures by their past, recruited almost forced by missions that no Avenger would have accepted.
The atmosphere evokes more Suicide Mélo version that Captain America OR Avengers – with a team that seems above all motivated by survival and manipulation that by pure heroism.
We also find Red Guardian (David Harbor), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) or John Walker (Wyatt Russell), all former enemies or ambiguous figures of the MCU. Their team dynamics are based on distrust, secrets and a certain moral tiredness. The film takes place in a post-Endgamdeprived of its tutelary figures, in which the American state tries to resume control by increasing a reserve team with sudden efficiency.
Wonder against the tide?
The project Thunderbolts* Intrigued as much as it is divided. On the one hand, we see a serious turning point for a more adult, more political and less smooth superhero cinema. On the other hand, some fans wonder if the Marvel universe, still very marked, will be able to take this darkness announced until the end. Because the trailer is not halfway through measures: visually darkerRhythmically more tense, it clearly puts a tone break to close phase 5.
In filigrana, the film seems to question the very notion of redemption. All characters are persecuted by their past errors e Thunderbolts* He faces them with the possibility of repairing … or immerse yourself. In a period in which the avengers no longer exist and when the figures of the Authority are more troubled than ever, this narrative of pseudo-Saucer could redefine the moral foundations of the MCU.
Expected in cinemas the April 30, 2025,, Thunderbolts* It will also be a transition to phase 6, introducing new narrative dynamics and potentially some surprises. In the meantime, this trailer has had the merit of surprising where it was no longer expected: suggesting that there are still gray areas to explore in the Marvel universe.
