Announced by Marvel at SDCC 2022, theThunderboltscast of charactersassembles a team of anti-heroes from around the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, David Harbour’s Red Guardian and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes. Since theThunderbolts* release dateisn’t set until May 2025, it’s a bit early for Marvel to release a trailer, but the one screened at SDCC this year has made its way online.

Neither Marvel nor Disney have commented on the leak.

Marvel Studios is officially working on a Thunderbolts movie, with production to begin in 2023. Here’s all you need to know about the Thunderbolts!
The MCU Has Been Plagued By Leaks Lately
Thunderbolts* Is Just One Marvel Project Affected
Marvel’s latest release,Deadpool & Wolverine, has quickly become the biggest movie of the year, but in the weeks since the film hit theaters, there has been a massive spread of pirated footage and images online. These have largely consisted of thecameos inDeadpool & Wolverine, which have been one of the biggest talking points among audiences, and are undeniably a contributing factor in the movie’s success. As of last week, official stills and footage fromDeadpool & Wolverinebegan to be released, which has stemmed the tide of unofficial bootlegs.
BeyondDeadpool & Wolverine, there have been leaks from Marvel’s panels at both SDCC and this past weekend’s D23. TheThunderbolts*trailer is just one of a few that Marvel screened at these events, but it isn’t the only thing to have made its way online from the panels. A first look atMarvel’s Fantastic Four costumeswas revealed at D23, and circulated widely online - as did a better look at Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk inCaptain America: Brave New Worldfootage.
Though theDeadpool & Wolverineleaks seemingly haven’t affected the movie’s theatrical release, and certainly haven’t stopped it from earning $1 billion at the box office, it’s unclear how the other leaks will affect their respective projects. Unlike theDeadpool & Wolverinecameos, the other leaks aren’t major spoilers for theupcoming MCU movies, they’re part of promotional material that will eventually be released officially by Marvel. For those eager to see theThunderbolts*trailer, hopefully Marvel debuts it soon, but with the release date still more than nine months out, the studio may wait a little while.
