Julia Louis-Dreyfus Gets Physical in Thunderbolts, Proving She’s No Slouch

BBG News

As a passionate cinephile, I can’t help but get excited about the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its knack for consistently delivering fresh content, whether on the silver screen or through my Disney+ subscription. The next blockbuster Marvel film set to hit theaters is none other than Thunderbolts, a movie that boasts an impressive ensemble cast. In this thrilling adventure, Florence Pugh takes a daring leap off a skyscraper, but let’s not forget that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is also set to bring her A-game to the action!

As a follower, I can say that my knowledge about the upcoming movie, Thunderbolts, has been scarce before its debut, as the studio has kept a tight lid on the film’s details. However, fans are chomping at the bit to witness the interactions among the Thunderbolts cast, with Emmy-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, appearing to be the one bringing them together. During a recent interview on Radio Andy, this Seinfeld legend let it slip that she got physical during her latest MCU stint, hinting at an action-packed role for her in the upcoming movie.

Frankly speaking, I’m not keen on the whole leaping from skyscrapers scene – that seems more like Florence’s forte at the moment. However, let me clarify that there were certain physical feats in this film which brought a smile to my face. To be honest, I can’t reveal specifics, but suffice it to say, it was quite the thrill!

As a film enthusiast, I must admit, I’ve been hooked by Valentina ever since her brief appearances in “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and the credits scene of “Black Widow.” However, she hasn’t quite shown off her fighting skills yet. But that all changes in the upcoming “Thunderbolts” movie, and I can hardly wait to witness just how skilled this character proves to be in a battle!

With a Disney+ subscription, you can now stream Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Marvel Cinematic Universe adventures. This family-friendly platform offers an ad-supported plan starting at just $9.99 per month.

The security surrounding the shared universe is exceptionally strict, making this piece of information all the more exhilarating for fans who have been following the Marvel films sequentially over the years. In the same interview, Louis-Dreyfus expressed her enthusiasm for joining the Thunderbolts team.

One reason is that when I talked to them, I expressed my desire to dive deep into it rather than merely walking a corridor and chatting. In other words, I wanted to engage actively, not just observe. To put it metaphorically, I wished to play in the sandbox, and to some degree, I did so in this movie.

Earlier noted, actress Florence Pugh has been garnering attention due to an exhilarating stunt featured in the teaser for “Thunderbolts”. Initially hesitant about the dive, Marvel seems set to present a thrilling spectacle on the silver screen. Moreover, it appears this daring move will also evoke strong emotions from Yelena, as her expression here suggests.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve been yearning for some major crossover events in the MCU since the epic finale of Endgame. The upcoming Thunderbolts project sure looks promising on paper! What’s even more exciting is learning that this motley crew of antiheroes, who are part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast list, will be joining forces. However, it seems that Val aka Julia Louis-Dreyfus isn’t part of that ensemble… not for now, anyway.

Fortunately, the long wait for the upcoming movie, Thunderbolts, is almost at an end! It will be released in theaters on May 2nd, 2025, as part of the 2025 film lineup. We’ll find out which characters make it through, and experience the excitement of the action scenes for ourselves.
