This action-packed movie pulls together a squad of supervillains, ready to tackle high-stakes missions for the U.S. government.
The teaser kicks off with Yelena Belova (played by Florence Pugh) having a chat with Red Guardian (David Harbour). She throws a deep question at him, “You feel fulfilled?” His response? “Yeah. So full, so filled. But why do you ask this? Why are you here?"

Cue a haunting voiceover from Yelena: “There’s something wrong with me... an emptiness... I’m just.. drifting. And I don't have a purpose.”
From there, the trailer showcases each Thunderbolt member’s life, including characters played by Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, and Hannah John-Kamen. Eventually, the crew comes together, and that’s when the real chaos begins.
If you’re getting Suicide Squad vibes, you’re not wrong. Thunderbolts* is Marvel’s version but minus the head-exploding bombs! The teaser lineup includes Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, Bucky Barnes, Ghost, Taskmaster, US Agent, and more.
