In Thunderbolts* zien we vooral veel bekende gezichten uit eerdere films, met Florence Pugh al Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan als Bucky Barnes, David Harbour als Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell als U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko als Taskmaster, Hannah John-Kamen als Ghost en Julia Louis-Dreyfus Valentina als Allegra de Fontaine.
Sentry
Duidelijk is ook dat Sentry (Lewis Pullman) zijn debuut maakt in het Marvel Cinematic Universe. Toch lijkt de ster van de film Florence Pughs Yelena Belova te gaan worden. De eerste reacties zijn vooral over haar erg te spreken. Ook is men erg te spreken over de nieuwe aanpak van Marvel Studios.
"Thunderbolts* is in veel opzichten anders dan andere MCU-films die eraan voorafgingen, en die frisheid had niet op een beter moment kunnen komen," valt te lezen. En het verhaal maakt ook indruk: "het is gedurfd, belangrijk en zo goed geschreven".
Emotioneel

THUNDERBOLTS* is, in many ways, different from other MCU films that have come before it, and that freshness couldn't have arrived at a more opportune time, when the franchise is in need of new blood and direction. It's some of Marvel's darkest material to date, dealing with the... pic.twitter.com/CxxejPPx77

And you're gonna wanna stay in your seat for the second post-credit scene. It's a biggie. #Thunderbolts*

THUNDERBOLTS: Marvel have finally done it... they've made a movie about how you need to talk to your friends if you're suffering from bad mental health. The villain's main superpower is giving people bad mental health. The NHS is too underfunded for this right now guys

#Thunderbolts is raw, hilarious, and deeply human. It's a bold dive into trauma, healing, and redemption.
