THUNDERBOLTS* TV Spot Praises "F***ing Amazing" MCU Movie; Director Shares Awesome Video Of Practical Effects

Much has been said about Thunderbolts* being a very different Marvel Studios movie, and that's seemingly going to extend to the action scenes. 

Director Jake Schreier has taken to Instagram to share a reel of behind-the-scenes footage showing just how many of the movie's stunts were created practically. For those tired of an overreliance on special effects, this will be welcomed. 

Of course, Marvel Studios has made a point of showing us that Yelena Belova actor Florence Pugh jumped off Kuala Lumpur's Merdeka 118, the second-highest building in the world. With that in mind, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that the same realism was applied elsewhere in Thunderbolts*

Another TV spot has also been released, this time focusing on the praise heaped on the movie by fans who attended last week's early screenings across North America. 

Lewis Pullman, who plays Bob/The Sentry/The Void in Thunderbolts*, was recently asked by GamesRadar+ about his MCU future. "I'm so excited because, you know, I had to kind of prepare myself for the possibility that this might just be a kind of one-and-done situation," the actor explained. 

"It's kind of like breaking open a whole new room, and being like, oh my god, [my] house is actually bigger, and now I get to figure out what I do with that space," he added before addressing his Avengers: Doomsday role. "I have no idea. I would love to spoil it."

You can check out this new look at Thunderbolts* in the social 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 2, 2025.

Cringe.

This won't be super amazing.

Don't believe the hype.

Remember all the movies, shows, comics, and franchises Disney has ruined over the past five to twenty years.

@MakeAmericaGrea - or maybe it’s all subjective and just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it so. It also has nothing to do with political affiliation. You just use terms you don’t really understand but think it’s going to trigger people 😊

@Batmangina - the franchises are not ruined. One can always go back and watch the originals and in 20 years people will watch the more recent ones and they might be more liked. I remember when the prequels for Star Wars came out and people didn’t like them and now they’re looked at pretty fondly. Maybe not to the extent of the original trilogy but still more fondly. Time often changes peoples views. Plus, Harrison ford is getting up there in age and the last film was probably going to be his last one regardless if it did well or not. If they get a different actor people would be upset so the last one again, was going to the final one. There were also people who liked the last film to say that it was “ruined” isn’t true. Just some people liked it more than others and didn’t make as much at the box office and money doesn’t determine if something is “good” or not.

@MakeAmericaGrea - how do you determine good? It you like it? Critics? How much money? This is all art and what one person likes, doesn’t mean another person will like it. I think that’s what you fail to understand.

@epc1122 - Why is it so many on here can't handle the slightest bit of criticism on dogshit content that loses 100s of millions of dollars?


They either have shitty taste or extremely thin skin - or likely both - is it still art if nobody likes it and it loses money?
epc1122
epc1122 - 4/27/2025, 11:47 AM
@Batmangina - and what about the movies that do make money but people don’t like it? Plus you know “everyone”. Rarely do any movies receive a 0% rating on anything. If someone doesn’t like something, that’s their prerogative, but to say everyone hates anything is just completely untrue. Plenty of movies that are “good” can lose money so that should not be a criteria for being “good”. It goes the other way too where if a movie that does make money doesn’t mean people like it or you might not like it. Titanic and Barbie are two examples of movies that made a lot of money and I can see someone saying how it’s bad. Money should not be a factor. I’m all for constructive criticism and. people not liking something, but it’s very subjective and also has nothing to do with politics that a previous poster continues to bring up. And yes, it’s still considered art if nobody likes it and loses money. If you go to a museum and “nobody” likes a painting, it’s still art.

@MakeAmericaGrea - Allright. So, at this point, we have established that you’re not some Trumpy tru-believer, you’re just a troll looking for attention and lulz or whatever.

I mean, at some point, you should probably do about ten seconds of self reflection and see how lame that is. Attention seeking behavior is understandable for like children up to aged ten, not ostensible adults. Spending as much time as you do on a comic book movie website just spewing barely comprehensible, whiny boo hoo fanboy nonsense is not impressive at all, son.

Join the Marines, boy. Stop jerking around online like a loser, looking for that split second endorphin rush every time someone responds to one of your inane posts.

Put your phone/tablet down for five [frick]ing minutes, go look in the mirror and take a second to ask yourself if you’re happy being like this. If you are, are likely deeply committed to remaining a soft, weak fraction of a man. If you are not happy with what you see, then go do something about it.

You won’t, of course. You’re almost certainly going to keep doing what you are currently doing, being shitty and weird and entirely too online and whatnot. It’s easier that way, and you strike me as the kind of child that would rather [frick] about online than engage with the real world in any kind of meaningful way. Attempting to be provocative online, where there are no consequences to being an ass, is the most pathetic kind of pathetic. No balls, no spine, no personality worth speaking of. Sad little boy who will never put any effort into being a man.

TLDR: Grow up.

@AllsGood - Oh, totally.

These children are hard as hell online, but they would never dream of saying this stuff to someone right in front of them.

On some level, they know how soft they are, but instead of doing anything about it in the real world (because that would take time, effort, focus, dedication, and drive, and discipline, you see) they embrace the easy thing, which is to try to act online how they wish they were in real life.

Like, who has the time and mental wherewithal to just bitch and bitch and bitch about comic book movies? Who has the time and mental wherewithal to spend so much time just looking for reactions from people? Attention starved little bitches, is the only answer I can come up with.

@MisterBones - it’s a lot easier to do practical when most of the heroes in a CBM have somewhat or very enhanced abilities that are still things that normal people can do as well.. I do like the fact that they’re using lots of practical effects so I’m not disagreeing with you at all.
