Thunderbolts*
{4.5/5} “We are the evidence and this is the shredder.”
Thunderbolts*, released in 2025
Yelena is doing jobs for Valentina, but she’s bored. Bucky is in Congress, but is not very good at talking to the press. Valentina is under investigation and could be impeached — of course, she did all the things that they think she did. Yelena goes to see her dad, Alexei, and says she’s thinking about quitting. Valentina asks Yelena to do one last job — prevent OXE Group’s vault from being robbed.
This is a sequel to various things including Black Widow and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
It’s a fun story about people who don’t normally work with others working with others. It’s about revisiting dark moments from your past.
Unlike most superhero movies, the heroes defeat the villain in an interesting way.
Stars Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, David Harbour, and Olga Kurylenko. Directed by Jake Schreier (Robot & Frank).
