Marvel Studios has released the first official teaser trailer for Thunderbolts*.
The footage begins with Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) paying a visit to Red Guardian (David Harbour) to tell her adoptive father that there's "something wrong" with her, as she no longer feels fulfilled by her work.
We then see Yelena infiltrate a mysterious location where Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), John Walker/U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) are waiting. They all begin to fight it out to the strains of The Pixies' "Where is my Mind."
Yelena comes to the realization that they have all been sent to the same place in the hopes that they'll take each other down, which is when we meet "Bob" (Lewis Pullman). We don't see him in Sentry mode, unfortunately, but rumor has it that he does indeed suit-up at some point in the movie.
Some exciting action shots follow, and we see Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julie Louis Dreyfus) greeting the motley crew of assassins ("so adorable").
This is basically the San Diego Comic-Con trailer that recently leaked online, but the ending is very different. Instead of Red Guardian droning on and Yelena telling her new allies that she finds it best to try to ignore him, we see Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) launching an attack on the team, which would seem to confirm that the Winter Soldier will be sent to take them down (we assume he will side with them eventually).
Check out the trailer and poster below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
We're still not sure what the addition of that asterisk to the title signifies, but a recent rumor claimed to shed a little more light on the mystery. It could be considered a spoiler, so click here if you want to know more.
