Marvel debuts new clip from “Thunderbolts*” at D23, Brazil

Marvel Studios unveiled a new special look trailer for “Thunderbolts*” at the first Brazilian D23 event on Saturday. David Harbour, who plays the role of Red Guardian in the film after his debut in Black Widow, was at the event and introduced the trailer.

The nearly four-minute trailer begins with a scene in which Harbour, Florence Pugh, Wyatt Russell and Olga Kurylenko drive in a Red Guardian car, apparently to avoid SHIELD troops. The four soon notice that Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, is following on the motorcycle and are thrilled – “That guy is so cool,” says Harbor’s Alexei Shostakov admiringly – before Bucky shoots at their own vehicle.

As Pugh’s Yelena Belova puts it, “This is not good.”

The group then meets at Stark Tower, now owned by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), who notes, “The place wasn’t cheap, but it has a good look.”

“Look at you,” she continues. “You’re all so adorable.”

Marvel first revealed footage from the film at San Diego Comic-Con in July. Much like DC’s Suicide Squad, Marvel’s band of villains have banded together to complete a series of missions for the government. Harbour, Pugh, Russell, Stan and Louis-Dreyfus all attended the event, with Harbor wearing full Red Guardian attire. Addressing the audience, Pugh described the film as “so wonderful and bizarre and very brave.”

The first official trailer was released in September and featured the footage shown at Comic-Con. Jake Schreier is directing “Thunderbolts*” (the asterisk is intentional, but the secret behind it has yet to be revealed), and Kevin Feige is producing. Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek, Jason Tamez and Scarlett Johansson serve as executive producers.

“Thunderbolts*” is scheduled to hit theaters on May 2, 2025.
