Marvel’s Thunderbolts, directed by Jake Schreier, hits cinemas on May 2, 2025. This high-stakes MCU film assembles a team of antiheroes: Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, U.S. Agent, Taskmaster, Red Guardian, Ghost, and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.
Known in the comics for their morally grey missions, the Thunderbolts take on dangerous tasks too messy for the Avengers. With Bucky as possibly the strongest, thanks to his super-soldier enhancements, this gritty team-up marks a darker turn in Marvel’s Phase 5, with intrigue, redemption, and betrayal at its core.
