Black Widow star and Academy Award nominee Florence Pugh has given fans a sneak peek at the filming of Thunderbolts, the much-anticipated MCU outing. Pugh, who will reprise her role as Yelena Belova, shared a glimpse of her new suit and a still from the movie, hinting at a possible title change for the project.
The clip showcases Pugh's upgraded costume, featuring a mysterious logo on her shoulder, sparking speculation about the movie's plot. Some believe she may be standing in the vault area where the Thunderbolts team will encounter the character Sentry.
Thunderbolts faced delays due to industry strikes last year, causing actor Steven Yeun to exit the project. However, production is now in full swing, with the film set to conclude Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Directed by Jake Schreier and penned by Eric Pearson and Lee Sung Jin, Thunderbolts will center on a group of heroes and antiheroes, including Bucky Barnes, Ghost, U.S. Agent, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, and Taskmaster. Lewis Pullman has been cast as Sentry, a character with dual hero and villain personas.
Wyatt Russell, known for his role in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, has teased Thunderbolts as a departure from traditional Marvel movies, promising a unique and engaging experience for fans. He emphasized the need to work hard and deliver a quality Marvel film that stands out in the franchise.
Thunderbolts is slated for release in the United States on May 2, 2025, marking the culmination of Phase Five in the MCU. Fans can anticipate an exciting and fresh take on the superhero genre with this upcoming installment.
