Marvel's THUNDERBOLTS Director Teases Film is a "Very Different Perspective That Maybe People Aren't Expecting"
Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts is going to be delivering a crazy team-up of characters, but what the fans are all wondering, is if the story and script will actually be good because, in regard to that, Marvel has been dropping the ball recently.
The film is being helmed by Jake Schreier (The Beef) and during a recent interview with Collider, he teased his approach to the movie and he explained that he’s looking to come at the project from a different perspective and deliver something unexpected. He said:
"It was just a really different approach and a new kind of story to tell amidst that, which I know they've made so many things, but it's not a sequel. Yes, these characters have appeared before, but it is a new story being told and a story, I think, with a very different perspective that maybe people aren't expecting, and I think that that felt exciting and felt like a real challenge worth taking on."
I really hope that this movie ends up being great. I think fans would like to see another win for Marvel, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
The movie has a great ensemble cast that includes Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Julie Louis-Dreyfus as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Wyatt Russell as US Agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, and of course, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova. Then there’s Harrison Ford, who is taking on the role of General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who is going to be President of the United States in Captain America: New World Order. Ayo Edebiri also joined the cast in an undisclosed role.
We don’t know much about what the story for Thunderbolts will entail, but we recently learned a new detail about the Thunderbolts team from Kevin Feige, and he shared that Bucky Barnes is set to lead the team in the movie.
Thunderbolts is set to premiere on July 26th, 2023. The production of Thunderbolts has been stalled due to the strikes.
