With the Thunderbolts shifting release dates from December 20, 2024, to July 25, 2025, Marvel Studios fans are wondering when exactly the film will start shooting.
Red Guardian actor David Harbour has a pretty big commitment to finish out the final season of Netflix's Stranger Things, which will begin filming in January 2024. And according to The Duffer brothers, they have about a year of filming before wrapping up the show.
Well, U.S. Agent actor Wyatt Russell has shed some light on the subject.
Speaking to THR about his role in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and filming with his father, Kurt Rusell, Wyatt revealed that cameras on Thunderbolts will start rolling this March or April.
Responding to a question about whether there's a long redemption road ahead of John Walker, after the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Wyatt stated, "I hope so. There’s so much to play with John, and there’s so much more to do with John. I’m so lucky to get to work with the kind of talent that I’m going to work with when Thunderbolts starts up in March or April."
"I don’t know when they’re starting yet, but Sebastian Stan is a great friend and you couldn’t ask for a better actor. Florence Pugh is one of the best actresses in the world right now, and she’s one of my personal favorite actresses in the world. David Harbour. Steven Yeun is one of the better actors in the world right now. You’ve got all of these people in this movie, and I couldn’t feel luckier."
If Disney doesn't shuffle release dates any further, Thunderbolts will premiere in theaters on July 25, 2025, in-between Fantastic Four (May 2, 2025) and Blade (November 7, 2025). Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (May 1, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7, 2027) mark the conclusion of Phase 6 of the Multiverse Saga.
Confirmed members of the Thunderbolts team include Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko). Steven Yeun has also been leaked as portraying The Sentry in the film.
Additionally, Ayo Edebiri has an undisclosed role and Harrison Ford's Thunderbolt Ross is expected to appear.
The project is a reunion of the creative team behind Netflix's Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated drama, Beef as Schreier directs from a script co-written by the series' creator, Sung "Sonny" Jin Lee. Sonny rewrote a script previously penned by Black Widow scribe, Eric Pearson.
