David Harbour explains why Thunderbolts doesn’t include everything from the trailers

Actor David Harbour, who plays a key role in the movie “Thunderbolts”, has shared insights on why certain scenes shown in the trailer were not included in the final version of the film.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s 36th superhero movie focuses on the group of antiheroes portrayed in the title, who are compelled to embark on a risky, life-changing mission that might pave the way for redemption.

Prior to the UK cinema premiere on May 1st, Timothy Olyphant and his co-star Wyatt Russell sat down for an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, discussing the filmmaking journey. Olyphant revealed that certain elements showcased in promotional materials may not feature in the movie’s final version.

Harbour mentioned, “It’s been fascinating to observe the marketing process as well, given the abundance of content that didn’t make it to the final cut – small scenes not included in the film – which the marketing team seems to be incorporating.

The actor portraying Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian commented: “We have so many playful moments on camera that would create an entertaining trailer montage, yet they don’t quite fit for the actual movie. There was a lot of quality content.

Russell, the actor playing John Walker/US Agent, commented that it was genuinely enjoyable and not your typical situation where one would expect to have fun. Unlike lounging in a Hawaiian shirt sipping Mai Tais on a beach, it was something more unexpected.

Harbour, playing the same character from “Black Widow”, stated that despite wearing heavy suits in scorching Mojave heat without air conditioning, we were still finding reasons to laugh.

As Harbour and Russell reminisced about the joy they experienced during filming, director Jake Schreier has just disclosed one of the key sources of inspiration for his superhero movie. He revealed that Pixar’s “Toy Story 3” played a significant role in shaping the movie.

He mentioned that he had brought along “Toy Story 3,” and it wasn’t primarily genre-driven, but rather focused on character dynamics. Each character has a dynamic of being part of a team that has been assembled. The furnace sequence is particularly effective because by this point in the movie, you’ve grown to care so deeply about these characters.

Thundebolts* is in cinemas on 1 May in the UK before releasing a day later in the US.
