It was during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and in Black Widow‘s mid-credits scene that the first seeds were planted for a Thunderbolts (think: “Marvel’s Suicide Squad”) team-up, as Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra de Fontaine respectively scouted out Walker (a new, disgraced Captain America whom she rechristened U.S. Agent) and sicced Yelena on her sister Natasha Romanoff’s “killer,” Clint Barton.

Louis-Dreyfus, as well as Black Widow‘s Olga Kurylenko (as Taskmaster) and Ant-Man 2‘s Hannah John-Kamen (as Ghost), are also in the cast.

Jake Schreier (Lodge 49, Kidding) will direct Thunderbolts, off a script by Eric Pearson (Black Widow). Shooting starts next year with an eye on a July 26, 2024 release, where the movie will close out Phase 5 of the MCU.
