Wyatt Russell reckons Marvel's Thunderbolts movie will be like nothing we have seen before in the MCU.
The Phase Five MCU feature will star David Harbour as Red Guardian, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.
Similar to DC's Suicide Squad, Thunderbolts focuses on a group of anti-heroes.
Russell, who played John Walker/U.S. agent in Falcon and The Winter Soldier, has promised something different to fans.
“I have confidence it’s gonna be good,” Wyatt told the crowd at 92NY.
“I know everybody is sort of on this Marvel train right now of things not going so well.
“I know Jake (Schreier, director) so well and I know how smart Jake is and how much he cares about making something interesting and different and utilizing everyone’s talents to the best of their ability. And the story that I think they’ve come up with is really interesting — I know parts of the story and how the story works, I can’t talk about it.
"But it’s not a straightforward Marvel movie as you’ve seen in the past,” he continued. “I think that it’s gonna be a lot of fun but I think it will be something that hopefully Marvel fans will look at and go, ‘Oh OK, this is a little different, let’s go hard at it.’ And as far as how we are approaching it, it’s time to go to work a little bit, it’s time to make a good Marvel movie so let’s do that and work hard at it and don’t take things for granted.”
Thunderbolts will be a wild ride
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, who plays Valentina Allegra de Fontaine., has promised a "wild ride".
She says it was pressure from her sons that ultimately made her take a Marvel role.
"For years, both of my boys have been saying, 'Mom, why don't you do a Marvel movie? Do a Marvel movie. Do a Marvel movie.'" she told Collider.
"And I'm like, Oh, they’re not going to pick me for a Marvel movie.' And then they did. And I was like, 'Oh yeah. Now my boys are going to be psyched.'
It was previously revealed in the MCU that her character is now head of the CIA. That position will ultimately lead her to put together The Thunderbolts, the team of anti-heroes.
