Black Widow star David Harbour confirmed on his social media account that he has officially wrapped production on Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* movie. It is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 5, 2025, as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s Phase Five.
Harbour shared the news with a picture of a Red Guardian propaganda poster, which bears the words, “We Are Indomitable As The Red Guardian” in Russian. Besides being part of the titular team, further details about Red Guardian’s role in the upcoming movie remained under wraps. However, Thunderbolts* will once again reunite Harbour’s character Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian with his estranged daughter Yelena Belova, played by Florence Pugh. They were last seen together by fans at the end of the Black Widow movie.
Who’s involved in Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*?
Thunderbolts* is directed by Jake Schreier from a screenplay written by Lee Sung Jin, based on the first draft by Eric Pearson. Schreier and Jin previously worked together in Netflix’s Beef series. The film also stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep) as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Florence Pugh (Dune: Part Two) as Yelena Belova/Black Widow, Sebastian Stan (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier, Wyatt Russell (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters) as John Walker/ US Agent, Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man & The Wasp) as Ava Starr/Ghost, Olga Kurylenko (Hitman) as Taskmaster, Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick) as Sentry, Geraldine Viswanathan (Miracle Workers) and more.
The film will center around a team of mostly supervillains and antiheroes. In a previous interview, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige assured fans that the asterisk at the end of the project title has a purpose, which will be revealed after the movie comes out.
