Along with the trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, D23 also dropped a huge new trailer for the upcoming Thunderbolts film. Additionally, they revealed that the film will be coming out On May 5th, 2025, just 2 months after the new Cap film. That definitely makes us think that the asterisk at the end of the film’s title will see them becoming the Dark Avengers by the third act.
As fun as this trailer looks, the big question is going to be whether audiences care. Other than Sebastian Stan’s Bucky (and to a lesser extent, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova), everyone in this film was either a secondary character in a Disney+ series, or a one and done villain of the week. Marvel has reached the point where it feels like you have to do homework if you want to understand the newest show or movie.
