Marvel¡¯s Thunderbolts full cast: Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan returning with other newbies

Marvel is officially done with squeaky-clean superheroes. In Thunderbolts, it is unleashing a crew of emotionally unstable, questionably loyal, and dangerously powerful misfits. The film, directed by Jake Schreier, drops worldwide on May 2, and the character lineup is everything fans of dark Marvel chaos could hope for.

Who all are returning for Marvel Thunderbolts

Florence Pugh returns as Yelena Belova, the sassier, snarkier, and trauma-packed sister of Black Widow. Still grieving Natasha Romanoff¡¯s death and nursing a solid distrust of authority, she somehow ends up leading this squad of unhinged antiheroes. Good luck to her.

Sebastian Stan¡¯s Bucky Barnes, yes, our long-suffering Winter Soldier, is also back, brooding as ever. He is the team¡¯s battle-scarred conscience, but his inner guilt is almost as heavy as his vibranium arm.

Wyatt Russell¡¯s John Walker, aka U.S. Agent wants redemption

Wyatt Russell¡¯s John Walker, aka U.S. Agent, is basically a ticking time bomb with a Super Soldier serum addiction. He wants redemption, but his anger issues might just torch that dream before it begins.

David Harbour is Red Guardian, Yelena¡¯s dad and Russia¡¯s Captain America knock-off. He brings biceps, dad jokes, and more emotional baggage than an international airport.

Ghost is back too! Played by Hannah John-Kamen, Ava Starr has learned to somewhat control her phasing powers after going full villain mode in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Still, nobody¡¯s betting on her playing nice.

Olga Kurylenko¡¯s Taskmaster (Antonia Dreykov), once under mind control, is now doing her own thing. She can copy anyone¡¯s fighting style¡ªwhich is cool¡ªbut her motives? Still very sus.

Lewis Pullman joins the cast as Sentry, a last-minute switch-up after Steven Yeun exited the project. His character Bob may look innocent, but his alter ego Void? Yeah, let¡¯s just say we could be dealing with god-tier destruction.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus coming back as the mysterious Valentina Allegra de Fontaine

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is back as the mysterious Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, the shadowy string-puller pulling this whole circus together for what can only be described as deep state drama.

And yes, there are wildcards too, Geraldine Viswanathan as Valentina¡¯s assistant Mel, Chris Bauer and Wendell Pierce in top-secret roles, and rumours still swirl around Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross.

The film is releasing on May 2 in theatres.
