Marvel’s Thunderbolts* : A New Team Rises
The Thunderbolts* are here, and they’re not playing by the rules!
Marvel Studios has just dropped the teaser trailer for Thunderbolts* and fans are buzzing with excitement, especially about the return of Winter Soldier (James “Bucky” Barnes). In the comics, the Thunderbolts are a team of reformed villains and anti-heroes, often stepping into the limelight when the world needs unconventional saviors. Marvel needed this group to explore darker, morally grey characters and stories outside of the typical hero mold.
The film, arriving in theaters on May 2, 2025, features a star-studded lineup of some of Marvel’s most intriguing characters, many of whom have walked the line between hero and villain. Think of them as Marvel’s version of the “Suicide Squad”, a team of outsiders coming together to fight even worse foes. The trailer is packed with action and tension, as these grey shaded characters must find common ground to save the world… or tear each other apart!!.

While the plot remains under wraps, one thing is certain, The Thunderbolts* are here to do what the Avengers can’t or won’t. The teaser shows glimpses of internal clashes and the ever-looming danger that threatens the world. Will they come together to save the day, or will their differences tear them apart? Fans of the MCU and Disney+ series will undoubtedly enjoy this thrilling new chapter in Marvel’s ever expanding universe. Cheers – Comics Byte!!
