The Marvel Cinematic Universe is ready to serve its fans with darker content as the Thunderbolts is soon going to unleash a new world. Turning MCU’s iconic baddies into a team to show rouges and villains reformed for the public perception, the anticipated project continues to catch fans’ attention. While Marvel remains tight-lipped about its details, film executive, Brian Chapek gives an exciting update about the 2024 film.
Chapek has quite a history with MCU projects. He served as an associate producer on Thor: Ragnarok, a co-producer on Black Widow, and an executive producer on Thor: Love and Thunder and the upcoming Thunderbolts.
Thunderbolts to be a Grounded Project!
Following its announcement at San Diego Comic-Con, D23 Expo revealed the cast of the upcoming film. Since then, minor updates have been arousing fans’ attention but film executive producer, Brian Chapek throws light on the nature of Thunderbolts. As per him, the film will have a more grounded and realistic approach, unlike the other existent recent MCU entries.
In an interview with Salt Lake Tribune, he shared,
“In creating a more grounded, globe-trotting film, it was important that we place our characters in as many practical locations as possible.”
Along with that, it is clear that the film is ready for production which will be filmed in Utah this Summer. As to why the studio decided to film in Utah, the executive explained,
“We looked at many options and found that Utah featured such a unique and impressive geography that we hadn’t seen before in a movie. The Utah locations we scouted felt untouched by the larger world, which made us very excited to shoot there.”
Given that Captain America: The Winter Soldier has already been dealt with practicality with a sense of the real world, it would be a delight for fans to see the iconic anti-heroes team who will be the new team apart from Avengers to be a part of the upcoming adventures.
What We Know About Marvel’s Thunderbolts?
Marvel’s Thunderbolts being filled with morally grey characters is the reason why the film is going for a “grounded” tone. They are often regarded as ‘Dark Avengers’ who consist mostly of reformed supervillains. The team’s history in the canon is quite complex which simply means that their live adaptation has options to explore their adventures.
Till now, the cast consists of Julia Louis Dreyfus’s Countess Valentina, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Taskmaster played by Olga Kurylenko, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier and Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent.
It is among the four MCU movies released in 2024 alongside Captain America: New World Order, Blade, and Deadpool 3. Jake Schrier is set to direct the film which is currently slated to release on July 26th, 2024.
