Marvel Studios is gearing up to bring back the excitement of its golden era, and with Thunderbolts on the horizon, fans just got a major treat—a second trailer dropped during the Super Bowl, and it’s packed with surprises.
If you missed the key details, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest Thunderbolts footage.
Marvel is once again playing with the idea of a superhero who doubles as a terrifying villain. Comic book fans already know that Sentry has a dark alter ego, The Void, and this trailer makes it clear that he’s going to be a major threat.
Unlike the softer voice we heard from Lewis Pullman in the first trailer, this time, his tone is deep and menacing. He’s seen taking down enemies effortlessly, overpowering Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier, and even turning people into shadows. To top it off, the trailer hints at New York City being consumed by darkness, teasing just how destructive The Void can be.
A Team of Anti-Heroes
If one thing is clear, it’s that this isn’t the Avengers—it’s a squad of misfits, former villains, and morally gray characters. We’ve got:
- Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier)—once an assassin, now trying to do the right thing.
- Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent—Captain America’s flawed replacement.
- Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova—a Black Widow in her own right, but not exactly a hero.
- Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster—a formidable fighter with a villainous past.
- Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost—a fugitive with unpredictable abilities.
With a lineup like this, expect plenty of internal conflicts and questionable decisions.
At one point, Val (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) makes a big statement—there are no Avengers anymore. That could mean she’s trying to assemble her own version of the team. Could this be the MCU’s way of introducing the Dark Avengers, a team made up of villains posing as heroes?
The old Avengers Tower has been a mystery for years, and this trailer suggests that it’s now under Val’s control. There are no signs of its heroic past, and instead, it could be a secret lab or facility where Sentry was created or experimented on.
One of the most intriguing moments in the trailer shows Bucky Barnes attending a courtroom hearing, looking furious. He’s also the one putting together this new team, but the real question is—does he know more than he’s letting on?
Could Bucky have cut another deal with a villain? And more importantly, who exactly is Val, and what’s her real endgame?
With all these revelations, Thunderbolts is shaping up to be a dark and unpredictable chapter in the MCU. And with The Void lurking, this team might not be ready for the kind of power they’re up against.
