What happens in the Thunderbolts* trailer?

The Thunderbolts* trailer focuses largely on Pugh’s Yelena Belova. After visiting her father, Alexi Shostakov/Red Guardian (Harbour), Yelena is lured to a warehouse where she finds Wyatt Russell’s John Walker/US Agent, Olga Kurylenko’s Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ava Starr/Ghost, and Pullman’s Bob Reynolds/Sentry.

The group realizes that someone is likely trying to kill them for reasons yet unknown. There is also footage of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, while Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes appears to be on a mission of his own, encountering the aforementioned characters.

Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross is also expected to appear in the film, while Geraldine Viswanathan will play Valentina Allegra de Fontaine’s assistant.

Schreier’s previous filmography includes 2012’s Robot & Frank and 2015’s Paper Towns. He also directed episodes of Lodge 49, Netflix’s Beef and the upcoming Disney+ Star Wars: Skeleton Crew series.

Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige previously confirmed that the asterisk in Thunderbolts* is officially part of the film’s title; what it means, however, is still unclear. Feige said that “we won’t have any more details until after the film comes out” when he spoke at CinemaCon 2024 this past May.

Thunderbolts* will officially hit theaters in the U.S. on May 2, 2025, as part of Phase 5 of the MCU. Before that, Marvel will release Captain America: Brave New World on February 14, 2025, while Fantastic Four: The First Steps will release on July 25, 2025.
