Marvel Studios has released six stunning new character posters for the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie featuring Yelena, Bucky, and Red Guardian.
Thunderbolts…Assemble! We are just under a month away from experiencing Marvel Studios’ next big adventure spectacle on the big screen, and the expectations are high. With the events of Captain America: Brave New World fading into Marvel’s illustrious history, the studio is pouring full into the hype train of its misfit-led action adventure. The ragtag group of Marvel misfits, led by the unconquerable Bucky Barnes, have their work cut out for them as they try to save the world from an unfathomable enemy. But with Red Guardian, John Walker, and Yelena Belova lining up beside him, the former Winter Soldier is ready to step up.
The studio just dropped the first character posters for the film to get everyone ready to grab their tickets. As you can imagine, all the fan favorites are front and center, including Yelena, Bucky, Red Guardian, and John Walker. It’s kind of surprising that Lewis Pullman’s Sentry isn’t getting much buzz as we get closer to the release. But I’ve got a feeling that’ll change soon. So, before we get too carried away, gather your crew and check out the posters below!
MISFIT CASTING!
The film features an impressive ensemble of acting talent, including some of the biggest names in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The cast includes:
– Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier
– Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost

– Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine
