Wonder how they'll address the passing of William Hurt (the actor who's played Thunderbolt Ross in the MCU so far).

Replace him with Sam Elliott (who played Thunderbolt in the Bana Hulk movie) and hope no one notices.

I am also waiting to see what they do, I mean the original Thunderbolts were led by Zemo faking to be other characters yada yada but the more well known group these days are likely the Red Hulk led Thunderbolts with General Ross at the helm

 

[Adam Warlock]

Im really curious who the line up will be.

Val
Zemo
US Agent
Punisher
Bucky
Jessica Jones
Abomination
Yelena
Ghost
Echo
Moon Knight

I guess they could all be options if theyre going for the MCU version of suicide squad. All of them were villains at some point...well not JJ but shes a ver atypical hero and would be cool.

Exclusive: Thunderbolts Removes Hannah John-Kamen As Ghost

Fingers crossed this is BS. I hope the Thunderbolts is more than a spy and 4 super-soldiers

I never take what that site says all that seriously.

I love Marvel movies but this one does not excite me. Julia Louis Dreyfuss leading a team is complete Meh to me.

Maybe if they add the right cast it will get my interest up a bit. Love the suggestion of Sam Elliot but I am not sure they want to add someone his age to something I am guessing they hope will go on several years

Harrison Ford has already been (re)cast as General Ross? I can't remember if that's a rumour, an official casting, or something in between from reputable sources.

I really like the idea of Julia Louis Dreyfuss leading a team like the Thunderbolts. She plays such a great douchebag. And the Thunderbolts are traditionally kind-of douches. I'm not sure what to make of the MCU Thunderbolts though, John Walker and La Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine being the only true douches so far. We shall see.

Something about this is leaving me very whelmed. I think I've just been a bit let down by the more down to Earth side of the MCU this seems to occupy (Cap and Winter Soldier+Black Widow were just very meh to me) and this feels, to me, like it'll be another tonally whatever kind of project. Yelena was the best part of Black Widow and one of the better parts of Hawkeye (even if her Russian accent is pretty laughable) but it seems like they're going to mellow her out in the interest of having her be the lead of this movie. Past Bucky I'm not really sure I care about a mishmash of characters from two mediocre MCU entries so making Yelena more of a jaded and exhausted seeming character makes me less interested. I could be reading the trailer wrong though.

 

[beowulf]

I liked that trailer. And Bucky washing his arm in the dishwasher is just great lol

Edit: will also be interesting to see how Sentry is developed.
