Marvel Studios is kicking 2025 into high gear, and the Super Bowl LIX broadcast just gave fans their biggest look yet at one of the MCU’s most anticipated team-ups. With Captain America: Brave New World set to launch the year for Marvel, the studio is already fueling the hype for its second major release—Thunderbolts. The new trailer, unveiled during the big game, brings together a crew of morally complex anti-heroes, setting the stage for one of the MCU’s most interesting casted films yet.
A Team Like No Other
For years, Marvel has focused on heroes who fight for justice, but Thunderbolts flips the script. This time, we’re getting a team of misfits and ex-assassins who are forced to work together for a greater cause. Whether they like it or not.
Returning MCU veterans include Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, stepping up as the leader with Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Natasha Romanoff’s sister. Additionally, David Harbour plays Red Guardian with Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent, still determined to carve out his legacy.
Nonetheless, with a mix of super soldiers, spies, and outcasts, Thunderbolts promises to deliver explosive action, high-stakes spying, and unexpected dynamics that will set it apart from the traditional Avengers-style team-ups.
It’s Looking Like A Massive Year For Marvel
2025 is shaping up to be one of Marvel’s most ambitious years yet. With almost ten projects spanning film, television, and animation on the way — Marvel doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Take a look at what’s coming after Thunderbolts.
On July 25th, 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives as one of the MCU’s most anticipated films since Infinity War and Endgame is finally bringing Marvel’s First Family into the fold.
