Some new Thunderbolts* stills have been released and they put the spotlight on many of the movie's lead characters. The buzz surrounding this one is extremely positive; whether it translates to all-important box office takings remains to be seen. 

There are some great shots of Yelena Belova, Ghost, Taskmaster, and even Bob, a character we know will eventually be revealed as the (villainous?) Sentry.

Even Taskmaster gets her own still; she's been largely absent from trailers for Thunderbolts*, leading to theories the Black Widow villain doesn't make it beyond the movie's first act. That may indeed be the case but there's no denying that she looks pretty badass here. 

Bucky, meanwhile, is shown performing his duties as a Congressman and in "Winter Soldier" mode alongside filmmaker Jake Schreier.

"It’s like the Al Pacino quote from Godfather III," Sebastian Stan recently said of his latest MCU return. "Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in. Bucky is going to come across this group, and realise that they’re quite similar, in a way, to him. So I think he feels he can contribute and be a leader."

Talking about what Bob brings to the table in Thunderbolts*, Florence Pugh explained, "Bob is going through what all of them are probably, secretly, going through. Yelena sees parts of herself in him. She’s always been someone that wants to look after people. She has a sweet spot for him, and essentially likes looking after him because he’s useless. He’s absolutely useless."

Check out these new Thunderbolts* stills in the X posts below. 

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?

The cast of Thunderbolts* will be led by Florence Pugh as Yelena Boleva, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, and Lewis Pullman as "Bob."

Written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo, and directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts* is currently set to be released in theaters on May 5, 2025.

It’s a weird time for politics in the MCU…

The president turned into a giant Red Hulk , a former (alleged) crime boss is mayor of NYC and a former brainwashed assassin turned hero is a congressman.

Anyway , movie looks good so hope it is received & does well.

@DocSpock - Biden? Biden is just a demented doter. Trump is the one who flirts with Russia and even has connections to the KGB... comrade

Wow. I didn't know anyone was still stupid or uninformed enough to believe that.

@dragon316 - yes, but that's not an elected position that gets to vote in laws.

@DocSpock - Always funny when the blind Trump disciples says that "the others" are uninformed. I have a neutral look at your country... Biden, Trump.. your system is ridiculous when you can only choose between this two clowns. i recommend you to read not only the things that suits you. and especially not only the so called "facts" your wannabe leader presents you.

@moeman - not all those that voted for trump are disciples. many voted against the useless DEI candidate the other side put up. Many times a vote is more against one person than full support of their opponent. As Non US citizen you wouldn't fully understand how things work here.

I am quite up to date regarding politics from both parties.

What silly country are you from?

Really? Other than all of the super intelligent NBA players, I didn't know anyone seriously believed that stuff.

@Reginator - "Many times a vote is more against one person than full support of their opponent" But that's exactly why you should rethink your political system! That's not a real democracy. You can choose between one evil or the other... that will always divide your country.

moeman - 3/13/2025, 11:37 AM
@DocSpock - And why are there only two parties with two bad candidates?
And why are you calling my country silly? I live in a country with a "direct democracy". That would be a good thing for yours...

Reginator - 3/13/2025, 11:38 AM
@moeman - it was never a democracy, its a constitutional based representative republic. The minority should never suffer the tyranny of the majority.
DocSpock
DocSpock - 3/13/2025, 11:43 AM
@moeman -

Because we really only have 2 parties. There are a few fringe parties that are so small they are statistically irrelevant. And yet you are too ashamed to tell me what great country you are from.
moeman
moeman - 3/13/2025, 11:55 AM
@Reginator - does it work? there is only either... or. the minority will never be satisfied. there should be more parties, possibilities, compromises, candidates...

@moeman - in a true democracy 51% of the people can vote to take away the rights of the other 49%. Our founders knew a true democracy was not the way to go and set up a constitutional representative republic.

@moeman - show us how it should be done in your country. set the example and when it becomes the shining beacon of freedom in the world maybe others will follow that example.

@DocSpock - why should i be ashamed? I‘m from switzerland… (and, already a few insults for me 😉?). How i said, we have a direct democracy. I don‘t know if there‘s another term in english. But i‘m sure you can google it up. We have a lot of parties, we don‘t have a president… we have a federal council. The people has the voice in the matter of almost everything. For example: The goverment wants to build a new highway. Our tax money, so we vote for or against it. The system works

@moeman -

Okay. I get it. Having been there twice on vacation, I love Switzerland. There is absolutely no way you can compare these 2 countries.

You have about 1/38 the population of our country. We have MASSIVE inner-city ghettoes and the crime that brings that cause all kinds of issues your country will never know. I love the USA, and Switzerland is one of only 3 countries in the world I would ever consider moving to if I ever left.

You are lucky to live there.

Taskmaster still doesn't look like Taskmaster. She looks more like Steve Ditko's Meteor Man/Looter.

Also - I am kind of hoping that Taskmaster won't be bumped off early and that the reason she is absent from most of the promotional material is because she is working behind the scenes for Val or something.

Would be a but if a twist in the overall story.

TheVisionary25 - 3/13/2025, 9:29 AM
@Orphix - I agree

Woukd be a waste to kill her off since I think there’s potential there with this version of the character.
