Is the Thunderbolts movie still happening?

Yes, the Thunderbolts movie is set for a global release on July 25, 2025, and it will feature an ensemble of Marvel anti-heroes.

In recent news, Wyatt Russell expresses confidence in the upcoming MCU film Thunderbolts, amidst some ongoing challenges for Marvel Studios. Russell, known for his role as John Walker (US Agent) from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, shared his thoughts on the film and the current state of Marvel during a conversation at 92NY. Despite a dip in interest and some perceived failures with certain titles, Russell seems excited and determined to work hard on Thunderbolts, which is aiming to differentiate itself from previous Marvel offerings.

The Thunderbolts film is anticipated to be Marvel's answer to The Suicide Squad, boasting an impressive cast including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and others. Rumors also suggest that Steve Yeun might play Sentry, one of Marvel's most powerful superheroes. Under the direction of Jake Schreier with a screenplay by Lee Sung Jin, the production has both talent and a fresh mindset that recognizes the MCU's vulnerability.

Fans are curious to see how this movie turns out given its divergence from the traditional Marvel formula and considering the recent performance of the studio's releases. With a well-rounded cast and a new approach, Thunderbolts could help reinvigorate the franchise and restore fan excitement.
