Marvel’s ‘Thunderbolts’ Cast Announced with Florence
The super-team movie will star Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Wyatt Russell (US Agent), Hannah John Kamen (Ghost), Olga Kurylenko (Taskmaster) and Julia Louis Dreyfus (Valentina Allegra de Fontaine). TV vet Jake Schreier is directing the film.
The audience reacted strongly to Stan and Harbour in particular, while Pugh, who is filming the Dune sequel abroad, delivered a video greeting to the crowd.
When beloved Winder Soldier is the most dependable member of the squad, it says a lot about the team, joked Marvel CEO Kevin Feige to the audience.
The Incredible Hulk #449, which was written and illustrated by Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley, featured the Thunderbolts for the first time. Similar to DC’s Suicide Squad, the group of bad guys is comprised of members that work for the government.
