Thunderbolts Stars Reveal Shocking Avengers: Doomsday Secrets!

by

The main stars of the Marvel film “Thunderbolts” have spoken out about their unexpected addition to the cast for the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday.” In a recent interview with Fandango, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus discussed their reactions to the five-hour Marvel Studios livestream that unveiled an extensive roster for the 2026 superhero blockbuster. The livestream, which presented actor names through embroidered chairs, confirmed that most of the “Thunderbolts” team will reappear in the next Avengers installment, establishing substantial narrative links between the upcoming anti-hero team-up and the penultimate chapter of the Multiverse Saga. This announcement also leaves room for speculation about how morally complex heroes will align with traditional ones as they face off against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom in the battle against evil.

Florence Pugh found it hard to believe how prolonged the livestream announcement turned out to be, chuckling as she commented on it. “I stepped away for a moment to brew some tea,” she said, “and when I returned, it was still going strong! Incredible lineup of stars. David Harbour also confessed his nerves during the broadcast. He shared, ‘It kept going and pausing, and I was thinking, ‘Paul Rudd is in this movie… am I in this movie?’ I was thrilled to see my name appear eventually. It was towards the end that it popped up, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious,” Harbour explained, causing Pugh to laugh.

Hannah John-Kamen excitedly expressed her feelings about being included in the project, saying “When they mentioned my name, I let out a scream! It feels like an unbelievable, pinch-me moment. I’m truly honored to be involved.” In contrast, Wyatt Russell shared a more laidback reaction: “I don’t use social media, so when I see requests to share on these platforms, I usually ignore them. But this time, I was sent a link afterwards and found it pretty neat. It was great to see familiar faces from previous work. Whether we collaborate again or not, I’m thrilled to be part of it, and I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.

When questioned about her conspicuous absence during the Doomsday announcement in the interview, Louis-Dreyfus first pretended not to know, saying, “Hold on, what are you referring to?” Later, referencing her MCU character Valentina Allegra de Fontaine and her role as the mastermind behind the Thunderbolts initiative, she joked, “I don’t know why I wasn’t there, but someone is getting let go.” Humorously adopting Val’s intimidating persona by stating, “I’m going to fire everyone working for me. They’re all out.

How Thunderbolts Sets the Stage for Avengers: Doomsday

As “Thunderbolts*” is set to debut on May 2nd, well ahead of “Avengers: Doomsday” hitting theaters, this movie assumes increased significance as it offers crucial insights into how these characters will be woven into the broader narrative of the Multiverse Saga. The fact that Pugh, Harbour, Russell, and John-Kamen are confirmed to appear in “Doomsday” implies that the storylines developed in “Thunderbolts*” could directly impact their roles in the Avengers film, linking these apparently unrelated projects through narrative threads.

The fact that Louis-Dreyfus wasn’t mentioned in the announcement for “Avengers: Doomsday” leaves people wondering what might happen to her character (Val) in “Thunderbolts”. Another notable absence from the cast of “Doomsday” was Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, who is the only member of the “Thunderbolts” team not yet confirmed for the Avengers movie. This missing presence has sparked discussions about the future of these characters in the upcoming “Thunderbolts”, suggesting that Taskmaster and Val could meet a fate in the events of “Thunderbolts”.

It’s quite intriguing to see Lewis Pullman’s character, Sentry, appearing in both Thunderbolts* and Avengers: Doomsday. This is significant because Sentry, as portrayed in Marvel Comics, possesses a remarkable level of power. From the previews for Thunderbolts*, it seems that Sentry will be depicted as a formidable adversary that the team must face. His presence in Doomsday hints at two possibilities: either Sentry experiences a profound change of heart and becomes an ally in Thunderbolts*, or his power is crucial in countering the menace posed by Doctor Doom.

The movie titled “Avengers: Doomsday” has commenced filming and is set to hit the big screens on May 1, 2026. Prior to that date, the film known as “Thunderbolts” will premiere in cinemas on May 2nd.

As a cinephile eagerly anticipating the cinematic spectacle that is ‘Thunderbolts’, I can’t help but ponder how this upcoming blockbuster will intertwine with the epic finale of the Avengers saga, ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.

While Marvel Studios has been tight-lipped about the specifics, my speculative mind wanders towards the possibility that ‘Thunderbolts’ could serve as a bridge between the two films. Perhaps, some of the anti-heroes or reformed villains featured in ‘Thunderbolts’ might play pivotal roles in helping the Avengers to overcome their formidable foe in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.

However, it could also be that ‘Thunderbolts’ will provide an intriguing postscript to the events of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, showcasing the aftermath and the repercussions on our beloved heroes. Either way, I can hardly wait to see how these two titans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe connect! What are your thoughts? Share your theories in the comments below!
