The IMAX trailer for Thunderbolts* that's currently playing in theaters ahead of Captain America: Brave New World recently leaked online, and while it was a little light on new footage (there was some new dialogue), the expanded aspect ratio did allow us to see more of Sentry's costume.

As you can see in the screenshot and (very) brief clip below, when Sentry blasts Red Guardian out of a window, his arm and blonde hair pass into view. We did see this in the Super Bowl trailer, but more of his chest and head are visible here.

It's not exactly the clearest reveal, but it marks our best look yet at Lew Pullman's Robert "Bob" Reynolds suited-up in his comic-accurate blue and gold costume.

In related news, an Odean Cinemas website lists the movie's run-time at 2 hours and 20 minutes, which is quite a bit longer than previous rumors have indicated (there was a report doing the rounds that the film would clock in at just over 90 minutes).

This shouldn't be taken as an official run-time just yet, as these early listings do sometimes serve as placeholders until the theaters receive updated info from the studio.

Marvel Studios also 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.

It has a better chance to be good than Falcon Cap, that's for damn sure.

@Goldboink - Agree, Cap 4 and Daredevil Born Again are the last of the Bob Chapek Disney+ era where Kevin Feige was not allowed any decisions on final cut. Thunderbolts and F4 are the films when he got power back.

I'm more worried DareDevil being mediocre or sucking than Thunderbolts. It had even more problems and reshoots than Cap 4.

@mastakilla39 - DD that isn't true, may have been prior to the strikes but the decision to start over after that negates it being bogged down with Chapek era issues or at least should.

You COULD call it 'more problems' if talking about costs but starting again from scratch on the series isn't the same thing as redoing the odd scene here and there and rehashing in post for a film.

@mastakilla39 -
Judging from the trailers, which isn't much, Thunderbolts has more of a phase 1 or 2 feel to it. You have to actually like the main characters instead of having to sit through a sloppy mess to try to keep up with the overarchign story.

It can't be overstated the damage Chapek did to Marvel and SW as well. Too many agendas and not enough experinced creatives making good creative decisions.

@mastakilla39 - it's funny how someone could blame Chapek for a failure and praise Iger for DP3. It doesn't work that way lol

140 minutes is a good runtime to me.

So, this has to be confirmation Red Guardian dies, right?

@JstaKIDfrmBKLYN - Would he survive that fall? Or will he be saved by Taskmaster
JstaKIDfrmBKLYN
JstaKIDfrmBKLYN - 2/24/2025, 3:09 PM
@HammerLegFoot - I think that's a bit more than just a fall.

@JstaKIDfrmBKLYN - I don't think he's gonna go all the way down. There's a platform for the Helicopter behind him.
JstaKIDfrmBKLYN
JstaKIDfrmBKLYN - 2/24/2025, 3:55 PM
@HashTagSwagg - I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but to me it looks like he gets thrust out that window Mace Windu-style.

Apophis71 - 2/24/2025, 4:29 PM
@JstaKIDfrmBKLYN - Depends, there is another scene with a huge crane being destroyed so could be that is near the window he is thrust through and manages to grab onto that, starts climbing down then...
HammerLegFoot
HammerLegFoot - 2/24/2025, 3:05 PM
why did he just push him out the window instead of turning him into floor shadow
HashTagSwagg
HashTagSwagg - 2/24/2025, 3:20 PM
@HammerLegFoot - He's still yellow here so it's still Sentry but maybe Void is taking over at that point.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 2/24/2025, 3:21 PM
@HammerLegFoot - that’s likely because it’s the Sentry & not his other side “ The Void” who seems to be doing the shadow making.

In the comics , they have somewhat different powers even though they are two halves of same person.

Will it make a profit?

Probably not.

TheVisionary25 - 2/24/2025, 3:16 PM
Yeah , I don’t see us getting a real runtime this soon so that’s likely not it nor do I see it being 90 minutes…

Scoopers like The Beyond Reporter (who seems to be reliable ) has said it’s over 2 hours but we’ll see.

I can’t really make out much of anything in that shot but it seems to be fairly “comic accurate” going by that brief glimpse…

Given that “Bob” seems to have brown hair in this , I wonder if when he becomes The Sentry then the hair goes blonde like a Super Saiyan?.

If so then I kinda like that haha.

@TheVisionary25 - Yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing. Like, at what point does his hair turn blonde (or even blonde-ish)? I mean, it doesn't really affect my (hopeful) enjoyment of the movie either way, but I'm just curious. Personally, when I was a kid I had blonde hair but then it turned brown when I got older (although not dark brown), but nowadays I end up spending so much time outside working on my yard and pool (and in the pool) that it turns blonde again in the summer time so... wait... if his hair turns blonde when he becomes a superhero... and my hair turns blonde in the summer... does- does that mean that I become a superhero... in the summer?!?

Actually that makes sense because do you know how hard it is to mow your lawn in 100+ degree temperatures? I knew it! I f**king knew it!! And I told my wife and that she should have pizza, beer, and a blowjob waiting for me when I was done with the yard work, but she didn't believe me but now I have proof! Thank you Marvel Jesus, thank you!!! 😜

The comic book fans will show up, but will the people who actually make the movie money show up? This will need a 90% critics and audience RT score, A- or higher Cinemascore, and the best legs ever to make a profit. If people has a hard time following Cap 4 because of the TV show gaps, they'll really be confused for this lol. They doomed their own franchise with Disney+

This looks so much better than Captain America:Brave New World. However saying that I'm still not watching it in theatre, probably wait for it to turn up on Disney Plus.
