The new unused promotional posters for Marvel’s Thunderbolts* (The New Avengers) have been revealed by concept artist Joshua Ecton.
On Joshua Ecton’s official website, the unused promotional artwork showcases several early teaser designs developed during the film’s promotional stage.
The taglines featured in the promotional concepts include: “They’re Not Known for Their Teamwork,” “Teamwork Is Overrated,” “This Team Fights in the Shadows,” and “They’re Their Own Worst Enemies.”
The posters feature several main characters from the movie, with Florence Pugh‘s Yelena Belova placed at the center of many designs. Other characters shown include Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, U.S. Agent, Sentry, Ghost, Taskmaster, and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. The artwork uses fire, shadows, and desert backgrounds to give the posters a darker look and show the team’s unstable relationship.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Wyatt Russell opened up about returning as John Walker in Avengers: Doomsday.
Russell said, “The John Walker I played in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in 2020 is a completely different version from the guy in Thunderbolts, and I think he’ll be completely different again in Avengers: Doomsday.”
Director Jake Schreier on how Thunderbolts* connects to Avengers: Doomsday:
“There might be some stones, or pebbles. I don’t know how you want to rate your rocks. Look, you know the character that we’re talking about, and you know that there’s a level of power involved there that could have an impact going forward.”
In Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap — set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine — these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart — or find redemption and unite as something much more — before it’s too late?
Directed by Schreier and stars Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, and Geraldine Viswanathan as Mel.
Thunderbolts* was released in the United States on May 2, 2025, as the final film in Phase Five of the MCU. The film has grossed $382.4 million worldwide and is now available on Digital, 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and Disney+.
