Marvel Studios‘ new film ‘Thunderbolts*, scheduled for release in April 2025, has released a Super Bowl trailer that heralds a unique team-up different from existing Marvel works, drawing attention.

The video that was released together captures attention with the line, “The Avengers are not coming”, from CIA Director Valentina (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), along with the appearance of a mysterious figure who turns the city dark and even destroys people with black powder. In a serious crisis threatening the world, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) asks for help from Yelena (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), and Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen). Those who become a team are frustrated by the overwhelming power of the unidentified villain who easily throws away Bucky’s mechanical arm, saying, “Did you think you‘d be a great savior?” However, the process in which they gradually rely on each other and transform into a true team raises expectations by foreshadowing the unique charm of this work.

From the realistic action of the team ‘Thunderbolts*’ whose only weapons are fists and guns, to the nonstop cheerful tiki-taka, and the way these people who were called the worst combination awaken and walk into the deep darkness on their own, they firmly show their own identity, and attention is focused on the fresh charm that Marvel’s dangerous assembly will present.

‘Thunderbolts*’ heralds a fantastic acting ensemble with top Hollywood actors such as Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. In addition, the production staff of ‘Angry Men’, which swept the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards and was greatly loved around the world, participated in this work, heralding a solid level of perfection. In particular, Korean-American director Lee Sung-jin, who won the Primetime Emmy Award for Best Director and Best Writer, participated in writing the script.
