Thunderbolts*: Yelena Thinks There Might Be Something Wrong With Her
Yelena Belova contemplates whether something is wrong with her in a clip from Thunderbolts*, which will be released in theaters on May 2nd.
Article Summary
- Yelena Belova questions herself in a newly released Thunderbolts* clip, hinting at her deep-seated trauma.
- The clip may reveal the film's opening, showing a stunt performed by Florence Pugh herself.
- More footage will surface as Thunderbolts* nears its May 2nd, 2025 release date.
- The film assembles Marvel's unconventional team of antiheroes facing a mission to redeem themselves.
We're coming into the final weeks before Thunderbolts* is released to the world and that means more and more footage is going to start making its way online. So, if you're one of those people who wants to try and stay spoiler-free, this is probably the time to step away from the internet. However, from what we learned from a behind-the-scenes featurette the other day, the clip that Marvel released seems to be one from the very beginning of the film, if not the first scene in the film. So, you might be good for this one. Yelena is standing on the edge of a building and contemplating if there is something wrong with her. That can't possibly be the case; it's not like this woman isn't massively traumatized or anything. The jump looks pretty sweet within the context of the film, and it is pretty neat knowing that star Florence Pugh really did step off that building, even if she didn't complete a base jump.
