The newly unveiled Thunderbolts trailer at the D23 Brazil event thrilled fans with an action-packed look at Marvel’s upcoming anti-hero team-up film.

Check out the official D23 trailer for Thunderbolts below:

This trailer showcases a team of unlikely heroes on a risky mission, spotlighting characters like Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), and Red Guardian (David Harbour). In an intense opening, viewers see a chaotic desert car chase where the team tries to outrun hostile forces.

Just as they think they’re safe, Bucky unexpectedly intervenes—not to assist, but to hand them over to the formidable Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), hinting at complex alliances and rivalries.

One of the trailer’s standout moments is the revelation that Val has purchased the former Avengers Tower. This teases her influence and the broader implications for Marvel’s cinematic universe. Additionally, the trailer humorously addresses the contentious team name, “Thunderbolts.” Red Guardian wholeheartedly embraces it while his teammates express reluctance.

Marvel’s choice to emphasize this disagreement hints at possible changes or evolutions in the team’s identity over the movie’s course, with fans speculating the team could adopt a new moniker by the film’s end​.

The trailer doesn’t give us any additional glimpses of the film’s assumed villain, The Sentry.
