THUNDERBOLTS Star Wyatt Russell Discusses Whether Red Hulk And Baron Zemo Appear In The 2025 Movie

Thunderbolts star Wyatt Russell has shared an update on the upcoming Marvel Studios movie, revealing whether he believes Harrison Ford's Red Hulk and Daniel Bruhl's Baron Zemo will appear in the team-up.

Thunderbolts has been a victim of the Hollywood strikes, losing its original December 2024 release date and slipping down the release calendar to July 25, 2025. 

On the plus side, it's allowed Marvel Studios to refine the long-awaited project which will assemble Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes, Wyatt Russell's U.S. Agent, Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, David Harbour's Alexei Shostakov, Hannah John-Kamen's Ghost, Olga Kurylenko's Taskmaster, and Steven Yeun's Sentry. As for who sends them into battle, that will be the MCU's new "Nick Fury," C.I.A. Director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus). 

Despite featuring a team primarily made up of characters from The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and Black Widow, there's a lot of excitement for the movie. Speculation is also running rampant that the team will get its name from Captain America: Brave New World's President "Thunderbolt" Ross. 

Plus, given the character's history with the team on the page, Daniel Bruhl's Baron Zemo has to be in it, right? 

"Daniel is not going to be it, [but] he could play a part in it," Russell recently told The Playlist. "I don’t know. I haven’t read a script yet, but as of now, I’m not sure."

As for a possible Red Hulk appearance, the actor added, "Harrison’s in Captain America 4, I think. I don’t know, I haven’t read a script, so I don’t know who exactly who’s in it. I know Florence is in it,  I know Sebastian’s in it. I know David Harbour is going to be in it. David Harbour is another guy who’s, like, so good. I love everything he does. I love everybody in it so much."

"And the director, [Jake Schreier], who [directed me in HBO’s] 'Lodge 49' or [directed] a lot of 'Lodge 49' - I feel very, very lucky. I hope it ends up being as good as I feel lucky. And yeah, I’m really excited."

So, they might be in or they might not. Wyatt, however, is just excited to share the screen with his fellow MCU actors. "Florence Pugh is so good, man - she’s one of the best actresses that there are right now. And Sebastian Stan, one of the better actors that there are right now."

We're intrigued to see what shape Thunderbolts takes and whether it can do its lead characters justice. This is an Avengers-sized cast and Schreier's biggest project to date, but all the ingredients are there for one of the Multiverse Saga's best movies. 

Are you excited to check out Thunderbolts in theaters a couple of years from now?

@tBHzHomer - my New Years resolution is to stop clicking on articles by Josh. They are just click bait with NO info.

"I don't know" "I'm not sure" what a great article! (Checks author) ah of course. No Zemo in this is literally blasphemy, has nobody ever read a [frick]ing comic? Then again these are all misunderstood bad guys doing good.... not everyone has has to be a [frick]in anti hero. Dumb ass millennial writing lmao

this will flop so bad. Forcing people to buy a subscription for context won't work. It never will. I predict in 10 years or less, we'll be cord cutting streaming services lol

@bobevanz - everything is going to flop because people don't really go to the movies like they used to unless it's a big historic movie like Barbie or something. The DCU as a whole is going to bomb unless we see a miracle.

Wyatt Russell FINALLY reveals something we've all not been thinking about based on the same interview in this article which he actually doesn't know anything about anyway

Why do we still click on articles posted by JoshWilding. He straight up lies. NOPTHING he said would be revealed was revealed. In the new year, I'm not clicking on articles by this fraud. If I see a headline by him, I'll google the headline to see if there is any news on it. smh.

Why does every movie Josh writes about get proclaimed to have "a lot of excitement" for it?

F*ck's sake, Josh. I'm normally pretty indifferent to all of the animosity towards you on this site because I understand there's a business to run. But Hell, man. "Reveals," means he confirms or denies something. Change your headlines to, "comments on." This one was pathetic, dude. I'm not for bullying or anything. But I also don't like my time being deliberately wasted with bait and switch. Do better. BE better.

Blood test reveals if I have HIV

Results: Inconclusive

@Comicmoviejunki - oh man I remember back in my late teens and twenties, having unprotected sex with questionable women. And then that crippling anxiety after of hoping her birth control works, that she agrees to take plan B, or that the HIV test results stayed negative

I was quite the dumb horny young'n.
It's a blessing I ended up where I am today. Somebody uo above must love me

@Vigor - I feel you 100%. That feeling of dread right after you said [frick] it and shoot a load in your girl. Don't get me started on those questionable women.

The title is a lie. Are clicks that low these days?

Maybe if Taskmaster was an actual character with a personality this would be interesting. Task I feel could have brought the same gravitas someone like Deadpool brings to the screen. Ghost should have been a creepy male hacker type character not a pretty girl we feel bad for. Old Abomination should have been apart of the team but he was reduced to a throwaway comedic character now.
Vigor
Vigor - 12/15/2023, 8:46 AM
I know you guys are mad. And for once I agree with why
But you can tell from the way the title is worded alone that the answer in thr article either was going to be a "no", or an "idk".

Josh would have made the article a lot more exciting with exclamation marks and stuff if it was a "yes"!
Maybe I've been here too long lol

@Vigor - I clicked just to hear how Wyatt answered the question. What I gathered is that scripts either aren't ready or he simply isn't ready to read his lines yet

"And the director, [Jake Schreier], who [directed me in HBO’s] 'Lodge 49' or [directed] a lot of 'Lodge 49'..." why even include this quote? If the writer needs to clarify this much maybe it doesn't need to be a direct quote.

Never expected an article like this that gets the most commenters to gang up on Josh. It's no different from the other articles.

Anyway, think it would be a shame not to have Bruhl's Zemo in it. Even if the main focus is stealing Vibranium and the villain is The Sentry, Zemo could (and should?) be the one pulling the strings.

Vigor - 12/15/2023, 12:00 PM
@bkmeijer1 - or have zemo had the very end. Last 5 mins. after credits even

After this story is done, he co-opts the team name and creates his own team. Thunderbolts 2 looks like the team we are familiar with in the comics

@bkmeijer1 - I expected it. People here want better quality movies AND better journalism (or whatever it's called here).


And most people don't like clickbait.

Yes, it's no different from other articles, but people want better. Josh just wasted my time (again), and he doesn't seem to care that he does this to people who love this subject we come here to read. He is capable of excellent writing, but reverts to low standards, but himself wants higher standards in film writing.

I know clickbait increases the odds of more ad revenue, but it's a shitty way to treat your readers.

I hate it, and with each shitty clickbait attempt, I care about coming here less, read less, and I would gladly pay a monthly subscription for a site that treats their readers with proper respect.

@Vigor - I kinda wanna see the movie open with a team led by Zemo, and the revealed roster is actually the second team.

Zemo's team was sent to retrieve the Vinranium, but instead they stumbled onto something (later revealed as the Sentry). They then dissappear, leading to the second team being sent in. It's then revealed Zemo actually broke bad (surprise) and now uses The Sentry to his own advantage.
