Wyatt Russell claims Thunderbolts is “not a straightforward Marvel movie as you’ve seen in the past”

November 30, 2023 by Matt Rodgers

Wyatt Russell has reassured fans that despite the general consensus being “everybody is sort of on this Marvel train right now of things not going so well”, his forthcoming Thunderbolts film is “not going to be a straightforward Marvel movie as you’ve seen in the past.”

Marvel currently has an Endgame-level fight on its hands to try and wrestle back audience confidence following a disappointing 2023, a year which has culminated in the box-office capitulation of The Marvels.

Russell, who will reprise his role of John Walker/U.S. Agent from The Falcon and The Winter Soldier in 2025’s Thunderbolts, took time out from promoting Apple TV+’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters to address the forthcoming Marvel movie, saying “I have confidence it’s gonna be good. I know everybody is sort of on this Marvel train right now of things not going so well.”

He continued “I know Jake [Schreier – director] so well and I know how smart Jake is and how much he cares about making something interesting and different and utilizing everyone’s talents to the best of their ability. And the story that I think they’ve come up with is really interesting. I know parts of the story and how the story works, I can’t talk about it. But it’s not a straightforward Marvel movie as you’ve seen in the past. I think that it’s gonna be a lot of fun but I think it will be something that hopefully Marvel fans will look at and go, ‘Oh OK, this is a little different, let’s go hard at it.’ And as far as how we are approaching it, it’s time to go to work a little bit, it’s time to make a good Marvel movie so let’s do that and work hard at it and don’t take things for granted.”
