With Captain America: Brave New World wrapping up its theatrical run, Marvel Studios has wasted no time shifting focus to its next major event: Thunderbolts*. The final trailer for the long-awaited team-up film has dropped—and it’s the most exhilarating look yet at Marvel’s new band of misfits, rebels, and reformed killers.
Set to Queen and David Bowie’s timeless anthem “Under Pressure,” the trailer channels pure energy, giving fans glimpses of the wild, dysfunctional chemistry at the heart of the Thunderbolts. Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) returns with her trademark sarcasm and intensity, with the trailer nodding back to Black Widow—the film that first introduced her to the MCU. Meanwhile, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), the reluctant leader of the squad, is seen juggling mission chaos and a mysterious phone call from newcomer Geraldine Viswanathan’s character, who seems ready to shake things up.
But while the trailer flexes its humor and character moments, it also raises the stakes. Enter Sentry (Lewis Pullman)—a godlike powerhouse with unstable morality and the potential to destroy everything. It’s clear the Thunderbolts are in way over their heads.
With a gritty tone, fast-paced action, and plenty of character conflict, Thunderbolts* looks like Marvel’s answer to The Suicide Squad—but with its own brand of emotional weight and MCU legacy. The pressure’s on, and this unpredictable team is about to find out what it means to become something more than just a group of broken individuals.
Marvel fans, get ready. The storm is coming—and the Thunderbolts* are bringing the thunder.
