One of the biggest upcoming Marvel films, which has been in turmoil lately, is well underway! And to prove it, we have the right to exclusive visuals of one of the key characters.
It's becoming more and more complicated to navigate Marvel projects as the changes are so frequent. Some feature films like Blade still seem to have significant issues. Even if according to Mahershala Ali, it's going in the right direction, even though he almost left the project. Fortunately, everything is not completely dark and the house of superheroes manages to find solutions. This is what happened with this Phase 6 film which brought forward its release and is currently filming.

Thunderbolts is one of the next MCU films to be released. After studying the schedule, Marvel Studios chose to bring forward the release to May 2, 2025, although it was initially expected for July 25, 2025 in the United States. This date is not lost however since it was recovered by the new Fantastic 4 feature film. And after all the problems Thunderbolts encountered, this is excellent news. Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), aka Sentry, was forced to abandon this Marvel project due to a schedule incompatibility. The strike in Hollywood forced him, like others, to make choices.
A few weeks later, Marvel had to deal with the departure of Ayo Edebiri (The Bear). Unlike Steven Yeun, his role had not been revealed. Since then, a replacement has been found in the person of Geraldine Viswanathan (Parental Control). The young actress thus joined Harrison Ford (Thunderbolt Ross), David Harbor (Alexei Shostakov), Sebastian Stan (James Barnes) and even Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova)… the new Black Widow. And it’s this one that gets noticed with the publication of an Instagram reel.
“Hey guys, how are you?” I know I've been away for a bit. But part of it is because I was sent to Atlanta to shoot a movie that I'm not really allowed to talk about. But I can show you some things on the sly” she declares. Throughout the video, she is seen wandering around the Marvel Thunderbolts filming area… in a Yelena Belova outfit. A black & gray suit that does not differ greatly from the one worn before. As a reminder, the Thunderbolts team is often compared to DC's Suicide Squad.
