Marvel Developing Thunderbolts Pic
Deadline has confirmed rumors that Marvel Studios is developing a Thunderbolts movie. Jake Schreier (Robot & Frank, Dave) is attached to direct the project. Eric Pearson (Black Widow) is writing the script. Kevin Feige is producing.
The team was introduced into the Marvel Comics universe at a time when most of the world's heroes had disappeared. A new team rose to prominence to fill the absence, but the first-issue twist was that all the new heroes were actually old villains with an identity-makeover. What started as a scam eventually became a path to redemption for many of the villains-turned-hero.
While the big-screen roster is unknown, it's not hard to imagine Val (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) assembling a black-ops sort of team of redemption-seekers featuring the likes of USAgent (Wyatt Russell), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) - who was the mastermind behind the team in the comics.
