The Thunderbolts team lineup has been revealed by Marvel. The MCU collaboration film will be directed by Jake Schreier (Robot & Frank) and written by Black Widow's Eric Pearson. Throughout the comics, the Thunderbolts have had a diverse cast of characters, often led by General Thunderbolt Ross aka Red Hulk. While the roster is constantly changing, the name remains consistent, serving as a temporary team for reformed villains and anti-heroes to take on missions that require their unique combination of skills.

The Thunderbolts film was first announced at Comic-Con, with a release date of July 26, 2024. At the time, no casting or team members were announced, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige promising that more information would be released soon. The team's full roster has now been revealed, and it includes members from all corners of the MCU, including Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Black Widow.

At D23, Feige revealed the Thunderbolts team's full lineup, which includes Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), US Agent (Wyatt Russell), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and Taskmaster, all led by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss). All members appear in a piece of concept art shown to promote the team, dressed similarly to previous appearances, with Red Guardian having the most updated look of them all.

The actors in attendance commented on the upcoming film, which begins filming in 2023, with Stan saying, "These look like a good, troubled bunch and Bucky knows a thing or two about that." Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier was last seen in the Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, which left him seeking redemption for his past life as an assassin, while The Falcon moved on to the role of Captain America.

US Agent/John Walker also made his debut in that series, while Yelena was most recently seen in the Disney+ series Hawkeye. Both Red Guardian and Taskmaster have previously only appeared in the Black Widow solo film, so Thunderbolts is their first appearance since.

The Thunderbolts have always had a similar vibe to DC's Suicide Squad, though fans shouldn't expect an R-rated take on these characters in the MCU. Thunderbolts, on the other hand, are meant to be more edgy than the heroic Avengers teams, taking on missions that are a little outside the realm of the standard superhero world. While General Ross isn't shown (William Hurt, who played him in the MCU, died earlier this year), it's still possible that Red Hulk will appear in some capacity, whether through recasting or otherwise. Fans can now get excited about seeing some of their favourite characters unite under the Thunderbolts banner, even though no villain or threat was announced.
