“Everyone here has done bad things,” Pugh says in the trailer, facing the rest of the team. “Shadow operations, stealing from government labs, assassinations. … Someone wants us gone.”
Louis-Dreyfus, whose character is the cunning head of the CIA, says, “We’re raised with this idea that there are good guys, and there are bad guys. But, ultimately, you come to realize that there are bad guys, and there are even worse guys. And that’s all there is.”
Based on Kurt Busiek’s comic book series of the same name, “Thunderbolts*” is directed by Jake Schreier, with Kevin Feige as producer. Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek, Jason Tamez and Scarlett Johansson are credited as executive producers. Eric Pearson (“Black Widow,” “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Transformers One,” “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”), “Beef” creator Lee Sung Jin and co-showrunner of “The Bear” Joanna Calo penned the screenplay.
