Who is in Marvel’s Thunderbolts? Fans exult as the cast of Marvel’s Thunderbolts is exposed, a collection of antiheroes and villains that are household names. From Yelena Belova to Bucky Barnes, this movie is going to be one hell of a ride, jampacked with action and mind-bending twists.

Confirmed Cast Members

  • Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh): The new Black Widow. First appeared in Black Widow and later in Hawkeye, as a big part of the Thunderbolts due to her great sense of humor and brutal fighting skills.
  • Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan): Having formerly been a Winter Soldier who was a brainwashed assassin, Bucky has had quite a journey to earn his redemption. His being included insinuates that this team will have both mental and physical strength.
  • John Walker / U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell): Returning after his contentious role as Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Walker is back, and he’s not quite finished proving a point.
  • Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko): As a character who can copy any fighting style, her incorporation into the MCU is certified to bring about very intense action scenes.

Marvel’s Thunderbolts Rumored Additions

  • Sentry: Perhaps the most important of all. What does Marvel’s most powerful hero bring to the table? What do you give a guy with the power of one million exploding suns if he turns into The Void, his darker side? At best, he’s the ultimate solution to your problem. And at worst, he’s the problem.
  • Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen): Making her first appearance in Ant-Man and The Wasp, the abilities of Ghost to produce shifts through phases offer special tactical advantages for the team.
