He also reflected on his experience filming the first movie, praising the cast and crew:
“The cast and crew were not only a great group of people but also very funny individuals.”
Stan added more about his co-stars:
“David Harbour [and] Wyatt Russell [are very funny] and Florence Pugh [is] really very talented. It was just a good time.”
Fans have taken Stan’s comments to heart, with many sharing their excitement for a potential sequel on social media. The actor’s call to action highlights how much Marvel Studios values audience feedback, especially for ensemble films like Thunderbolts.
The Future of Thunderbolts in the MCU
While Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed Thunderbolts 2, fans don’t have to wait long to see the team again. Now rebranded as the New Avengers, the group is set to appear in next year’s highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday.
In the upcoming MCU film, the New Avengers will join forces with the main Avengers team, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men to confront Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. Additionally, the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts teased a subplot where the team clashes with Captain America’s Avengers after Sam Wilson sues them for trademark infringement. The scene also hints at the Fantastic Four’s MCU debut.
This development suggests that Marvel is building a larger interconnected universe, where even lesser-known teams like the Thunderbolts play a crucial role in major crossover events. It also hints that future Marvel projects may continue to explore fan-favorite characters who didn’t get solo films.
Thunderbolts is currently available for streaming on Disney+. The film holds an impressive 88% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 93% audience score on Popcornmeter.
Directed by Jake Schreier and written by Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo, the film stars Sebastian Stan, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lewis Pullman, and Hannah John-Kamen. Fans have praised not only the action sequences but also the dynamic between characters, which sets up potential for a strong sequel.
