EXCLUSIVE: Marvel’s top secret Thunderbolts movie looks to have gained momentum as Deadline has learned that Jake Schreier is set as director of the new Marvel tentpole. Black Widow scribe Eric Pearson is penning the script with Marvel Studio President Kevin Feige producing.

 

Not much is known about the plot of film other then it revolving around a group of supervillains (or at least characters who have played bad guys at one point in MCU) who go on missions for the government. The other element that is vague is which character will be part of this team since film it is technically still in development, though sources say Marvel has been in touch with certain individuals who are already part of the MCU to make sure to keep an opening in their schedules for next summer when it shoots. That said, some of the characters that could potentially be starring or making some sort of appearance include Baron Zemo, Yelena Belova, Ghost, Taskmaster, The Abomination, US Agent and Winter Soldier

 

While the town has been buzzing about The Fantastic Four directing search, which has only begun meeting potential candidates, the studio has been quietly focused on Thunderbolts ODA and according to insiders, Schreier presentation in recent weeks blew away execs and ultimately landing him the job.

This has been rumored for a long time and they've already set up a few of the pieces. Still, I feel like this should be a D+ series and not a theatrical release.

Who 

Thunderbolts are a team of villains/anti-heroes led by Baron Zemo. Not sure what the lineup will be but probably include Contessa Valentina, John Walker, Abomination, maybe Yelena and Sharon Carter.

Marvel Suicide Squad but without  the characters being full villains, more a bunch of antiheroes.

Cool they’re getting a movie but lol at choosing such a green director so Feige can ghost direct. 

Yeah this could be fun but a completely underwhelming director choice and a screenwriter who isn't much better (Black Widow, GVK, marvel one shots and Agent Carter)...

 

Not promising! Feels really in-house

Like this hasn't been the case with a lot of Marvel's stuff?  

 

The screenwriter was obviously attached to this because this project will have the most spiritual connections to BLACK WIDOW.

They can't do the big twist of the original run (mainly because that genie can't be out back in the bottle) so I'm guessing this is more like the modern versions which are more Suicide Squad-y in approach (though the Thunderbolts are reformed/reforming villains rather than supervillains forced at gunpoint to do good)

Also the Wrap says that Florence Pugh is in talks to star, so this is likely Vals team she's been putting together across stuff. Which also means Walker is going to be in it. Reportedly Vals also in Wakanda Forever so probably either Attuma or Namora from that one. Maybe Wkabi.

Seems destined to mix in Dark Avengers elements. 
USAgent

Yelena

Abomination 

Ghost?

Bucky?

(White) Vision?

Wonder Man?

Zemo?

Not sure what the expectations would be with that cast. Quality-wise should be fine, but I think I could barely stand the crap sites complaining about d-listers during the production.
