Red Guardian actor David Harbour explains the fun way that Thunderbolts is different from other MCU movies, praising its unique cast of characters: 'I think audiences have some complicated feelings about a lot of us.'
David Harbour explains the fun way Thunderbolts is different from other MCU movies. Officially announced earlier this year at Marvel's SDCC panel after various reports indicating its development, Thunderbolts is an upcoming entry in the MCU's Phase 5, releasing in the summer of 2024 just after Captain America: New World Order. The film features an array of characters that have already been introduced in other MCU movies, often as villains or anti-heroes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY At Disney's recent D23 Expo, the full line-up for the Thunderbolts was announced, revealing that the central team will feature Red Guardian , Yelena Belova , Bucky Barnes , John Walker , Ghost , Taskmaster , and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine . Harbour's Red Guardian was first introduced in 2021's Black Widow, serving as Natasha Romanoff and Yelena's adoptive father.
"There's a lot of really exciting work happening on this movie. I also think it's a unique MCU movie in the sense that you've got a bunch of misfits and outcasts and losers and people who don't really live up to the super in superhero. And also all of us are such cool, interesting performers -- I think audiences have some complicated feelings about a lot of us -- and I think that's a terrific thing going in.
While the MCU doesn't usually shy away from depicting complex and shady characters, rarely do these figures get their very own movies. It remains to be seen how Thunderbolts will make a hero out of Harbour's Red Guardian and other characters who have done some questionable things throughout their time in the MCU, though Loki has already proven it's possible.
Acting very much as an answer to DC's The Suicide Squad, Marvel's Thunderbolts team could be a major shake-up to the MCU. While the Guardians of the Galaxy could also be described as a quirky group of misfits, Harbour's recent comment suggests Yelena's team of Thunderbolts will take this concept to a whole new level.
