Marvel's "Thunderbolts" features a misfit villain team

Marvel's upcoming movie "Thunderbolts" features a team of villains and anti-heroes, including Yelena Belova and Bucky Barnes, assembled by a government figure. This contrasts with DC's "Suicide Squad," which also had a misfit team but was formed after Superman's death. Director Jake Schreier emphasizes that "Thunderbolts" offers a different story, likening it to "The Breakfast Club." The film aims to stand apart from previous superhero team-ups, focusing on character development and unique dynamics. Returning cast members include Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan, alongside newcomers like Lewis Pullman. "Thunderbolts" is set to release in theaters on May 2, 2025.
