Who are the Thunderbolts, the MCU's new all-villain team set to debut in 2024? We run down everywhere in the MCu you've seen Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, ...

Valentina de Fontaine has already been shown in regular contact with US Agent and Yelena Belova (in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Black Widow), and it seems likely she’ll be spearheading whatever the Thunderbolts’ initiatives are. In the comics, Taskmaster is a mercenary who can memorize and replicate the physical skills of anyone he observes, a trick he used often to take on the Avengers in their own fighting styles. The most venerable Marvel Cinematic Universe of the bunch is Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier. So he made his own, new shield, and set out to kill the guys’ allies, until the last minute he decided to save some hostages instead. In the MCU, Taskmaster is all that, but also a brainwashed little girl raised to be an unstoppable assassin with the help of a computer chip in her brain. He is something of a flawed father figure to Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova, after they time they spent in deep cover as an American family. There have been many, many different incarnations of the Thunderbolts in Marvel Comics canon — but the team started as a bait and switch. Hannah John-Kamen played a woman who was accidentally given the power to phase through solid matter in a childhood science accident, she worked as a covert SHIELD operative in hopes of getting help finding a cure to her body’s slow dematerialization. Sometimes, the Thunderbolts are working to redeem themselves, and sometimes they’re just working for corrupt government leaders. There’s no traditional Thunderbolts lineup, and no tradition of characters dying more frequently than other series’, as with the Suicide Squad. Marvel Studios revealed the full character line up in its panel at D23 2022. So let’s dig into who the Thunderbolts are, and what fans can expect from Marvel’s take on a Suicide Squad.

Marvel officially announced it was making a Thunderbolts movie back at San Diego Comic-Con. But the Thunderbolts team has been around for decades, ...

In Marvel Comics, Zemo was the first person to assemble a team of Thunderbolts, and he’s been either affiliated with or opposed the team many times through the years. And plenty of the characters have history together; Black Widow and Red Guardian are (sort of) father and daughter, while Taskmaster was one of their enemies in the Black Widow movie, which should be... Sometimes the Thunderbolts are vigilantes, and other times they work for the government.

Ghost, Taskmaster, US Agent, and Winter Soldier have previously been a part of the team in the comics, but White Widow and Red Guardian are new additions for the MCU.
