New Thunderbolts* Trailer: Bucky, Yelena, ‘Dime Store Captain America’ and Others Assemble for Julia Louis-Dreyfus

After debuting it for D23 Brazil attendees, Marvel has released wide a new trailer for Thunderbolts*, the team-up movie that will continue the character arcs for Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes and John Walker, which were last visited in assorted Disney+ TV series.

(The asterisk seen in the film’s title was retroactively added earlier this year, and while no one has detailed its meaning, it will have one. Of note, Bucky in the trailer above suggests the “Thunderbolts” name won’t stick.)
