The wait for Marvel’s Thunderbolts will be shortened by two months in 2025, swapping places with Fantastic Four, which comes shortly after the movie’s cast reveal.
Steven Yeun was previously reported to be playing Sentry but exited the project, with Top Gun Maverick’s Lewis Pullman replacing him. Thunderbolts brings together a group of anti-heroes, Ava Starr/Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Yelena (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian/Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour), and Sentry (Lewis Pullman) recruited by Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) to fight a new threat.
Director Jake Schreier expressed that this will be a different kind of MCU movie with familiar characters, saying, “It was just a really different approach and a new kind of story to tell amidst that, which I know they’ve made so many things, but it’s not a sequel. Yes, these characters have appeared before, but it is a new story being told and a story, I think, with a very different perspective than maybe people aren’t expecting, and I think that that felt exciting and felt like a real challenge worth taking on.”
Thunderbolts will release on 2 May 2025, with filming set to begin in late March or early April 2024. Fantastic 4 will premiere on 25 July 2024 instead.
