Sebastian Stan Praises Thunderbolts Cast, Returns To Set Next Month

Thunderbolts star Sebastian Stan praises the cast of the film and seems unbothered by the consistent year that Marvel just had.

It's January, so most of Hollywood has flocked to Park City, Utah [my old stomping grounds] for the Sundance Film Festival to screen and promote what films could be frontrunners in the next awards season. However, it's also clear how fast things can change in under a year if the fate of Magazine Dreams is anything to go by. Even though they are there promoting shorts and independent features, actors are still asked about their upcoming big studio productions as well. Variety got the chance to speak to Sebastian Stan about Thunderbolts, where his character of Bucky Barnes will be taking on a more leadership role and a film that was impacted by the strikes. "I'm excited. I'm going to go back basically in a month or so. I've missed it. It's a great cast," Stan said. Variety went on to say that, while speaking to Stan, he did allude to the inconsistent year that Marvel is coming out of. "The batting average is so high that it's difficult to always land everything right away," he said. "It's always been a great experience. With this one in particular, I think there's a lot of good things."

Thunderbolts: Summary, Cast List, Release Date

In June of 2022, we learned that a Thunderbolts project was in the works, and the news was confirmed at the conventions later in the year. At the D23 Expo, we learned the lineup for the movie would include Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko). The cast also reportedly includes Harrison Ford as Thaddeus' Thunderbolt' Boss and The Bear breakout star Ayo Edebiri. Jake Schreier is directing the movie from a script by Eric Pearson. Thunderbolts was initially set to start production this year but had to stop due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes because studios like Disney refuse to give writers and actors livable wages. Due to the production halt, Thunderbolts also had its release date delayed from July 26, 2024, to December 20, 2024, and again to July 25, 2025.
