If you're planning to catch Captain America: Brave New World on an IMAX screen this weekend, you'll be treated to a new trailer for Marvel Studios' next MCU movie, Thunderbolts*.

The IMAX social media accounts have announced that a "full IMAX-exclusive trailer" for the upcoming antihero team-up film will play ahead of Captain America 4 over the weekend. We wouldn't count on this being a brand-new teaser, as it's more likely a different version of the recently-released Super Bowl preview with a few additional shots.

We also have an image of a custom Funko POP of the Sentry that's been doing the rounds online, which has fooled some people into thinking it was officially-licensed merch. We are hearing that it's pretty close to how Lewis Pullman's character will look in the movie, however.

Check out the IMAX promo along with the POP and a video of the Wheaties box theatre standee being assembled at the links below.

Marvel Studios announced the exciting news that Son Lux will be scoring Thunderbolts*. The three-member, American experimental band was Oscar and BAFTA- nominated for their score for 2022’s best picture, Everything Everywhere All at Once. 

In Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late?

Returning to their Marvel Cinematic Universe roles are Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The cast also includes newcomers to the MCU—Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer and Wendell Edward Pierce.

Jake Schreier directs Thunderbolts* with Kevin Feige producing. Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek and Jason Tamez serve as executive producers.

Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* opens in U.S. theaters on May 2, 2025.

Wouldn’t this have made more sense to do last weekend when the movie released?

Bring back Baron Zemo!!!! In this context he would have been the perfect leader, taking down an enhanced individual who proves his ideology perfectly

@Gambito - Agreed. That's how they started in the books.

@Gambito - By MCU lore Zemo leading a team of mostly Super soldiers would make no sense at all and the original origin only works realy when his Masters of Evil team already existed prior. What works in comics doesn't always work in film when simply a cast list can give too much away to the GA in the age of the internet.

Taking down Sentry for Zemo, yeh that makes sense, using this team to do so wouldn't but what could have worked was him being involved in turning that character into the Void to prove his ideology and whilst doing so wipe out most the remaining Super Soldiers.

As such Zemo being in it would make sense, as an antagonist with a Masters of Evil team they face off with, but not as the leader of a hero team as his Thunderbolts were NOT heroes, they were villains pretending to be for nefarious reasons (also other aspects such as getting hands on all the secrets of SHIELD and Avengers doesn't track as well with MCU lore when all of AoS's secrets were already leaked out and disbanded etc) and would require more than a couple hours to pull off the narrative of that to get to the underlying motives, reveal and some of them opting to become REAL heroes.

As is every member of this team have been Thunderbolts in the comics and not all versions were villain teams so ultimately what matters is if they turn the ideas they went with into a great film or not and then in the future we could have Zemo factor into it more IF they keep that team name OR switch to an alternate name then face off with Masters of Evil.

They should have spent the hundreds of millions on marketing for Thunderbolts instead of mid ass Cap 4

Damn I have a feeling this isn’t going to be Marvel’s year besides Born Again and maybe Fantastic 4 (big maybe).

I really liked Brave New World but it seems general audiences are just not tuned in to the MCU like they were before.

Love and Thunder, Antman 3, The Marvels and Disney plus shows really did some damage.

I think Deadpool 3 was an exception cause of Hugh’s return and the cameos and unexpectedness of it , as well as good marketing.

But I see no hype for Thunderbolts and Cap 4 is not performing well,
So that’s why they’re releasing this IMAX exclusive trailer it seems :/

@MisterDoctor217 - Hum... Daredevil and F4 will definitely be carrying, but Spider-Man animation was already a step in the right direction (it's excellent) and Thunderbolts looks promising. Of course in the other end of the scale we have the mid Cap 4 and Iron Heart....

No idea what to think regarding hte Wakanda and Marvel Zombies TV shows, those can go either way.

Not sure how Marvel will do profit wise but at least quality should be up in comparison to last year.

@Urubrodi -

I haven’t watched the new Spidey show, seems no one is lol
I’ll stick to 90s Spidey and The Spectacular Spiderman if I want to see a good Spiderman animated show , I’m sorry.

As for Thunderbolts and F4, we still don’t know how the movies will be quality wise , but regarding hype, and box office, it seems F4 is the one with the most chances at succeeding right now.

As for the Disney + content , I don’t even know what else is coming out besides Daredevil lol
Don’t really care about the rest and it seems no one does either unfortunately.

Marvel really need to step up their game for next year.

@MisterDoctor217 - Well if you go on articles about the Spider-Man TV show you'd know that this "no one is watching" is certainly not true. I highly recomment the show but of course you are free to stick with the classics, they are awesome so can't blame you for it.

As for the rest let's see first how they do this year, we are still in Feb. The big guns haven't even arrived yet.

MisterDoctor217 - 2/21/2025, 10:56 AM
@Urubrodi -

I mean people are watching I’m sure but not a substantial number of people.


And yeah hopefully I’m wrong and all Marvel content delivers 😢

MisterDoctor217 - 2/21/2025, 10:03 AM
Now I’m worried about Doomsday.
Comes out next year but it seems audiences have no characters to be excited about for that movie.

The core 6 are half gone.
The newest characters they’ve tried to introduce have all flopped.

Wanda is somewhere dead.
Dr Strage who knows.
Thor is a comic relief good now.

They’re going to have to bank on Spidey and RDJ as Doom for that movie to even have a chance at a billion +.

Hopefully they make Spidey take center stage for that movie.

At this point in time I have no idea lol

Only know of Sam Wilson right now
But he’s not off to a good start lol

@JacobsLadder - We don't ever REALY need to know who is on an Avengers team until we have an Avengers film so on one level it is kinda always a daft question. Only reason the GA knew the first time was there wasn't that many characters on the chess board. Half of those still exist and Falcon was an official member from AoU onwards so only takes at most a couple films to setup (ie likely to be SamCap recruiting surviving Thunderbolts and bringing back/in some other established titular characters).

JacobsLadder - 2/22/2025, 1:51 PM
@Apophis71 - OK? We don't to know who the Avengers are until we sit down in the movie? That's not how a successful MCU used to work, but I guess that explains why the franchise is swirling down the drain.

Apophis71 - 2/22/2025, 2:44 PM
@JacobsLadder - Fool, we'll know from all the promo's and trailers like with any movie, lmao. All the same just like with the first of any team movie the core members will assemble in the first act and as long as it is good what's the issue either way? We will know all the members from prior movies and half of them could easily be original team members anyway.

Last minute effort to draw people in but we all know better than that.

I can't wait until the official percentage drop reveals itself for the second weekend. I'm guessing it will be like a 70 percent drop.

Nolanite out
