I assume Zemo, Jablonski and Agent (whatever) from Falcon/Winter Soldier will be in it. Probably the “other” Captain America as well?

Madame Hydra?

The Hollywood Reporter: Thunderbolts will be directed by Jake Schreier (previously known for directing Paper Towns)

Wow. That’s a pretty massive coup. Biggest name to join the MCU since Redford in Civil War.

Redford showed up in Winter Soldier, not Civil War.

Tilda Swinton
Glenn Close
Robert Redford
Tim Roth
Michelle Yeoh
Forest Whitaker
Michael Keaton

Michelle Pfifer

I’m sure I’m missing some

You also have Sylvester Stallone and Matt Damon.

Tiny roles, but still…

Kevin Feige announces the official title is now Thunderbolts*, with an asterisk. He won't explain the meaning of the asterisk, but online fan speculation is that the film is really Dark Avengers. The release date of May 5, 2025 in the logo below may be an error, as that is a Monday, which is usually not used as a release date.
