Sebastian Stan binds a rogue crew in Jake Schreier’s 130-minute (projected) May 2025 Marvel tale. Bucky Barnes (Stan), the Winter Soldier, leads Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), and Taskmaster (Hannah John-Kamen) to stop a plot by Red Guardian (David Harbour). Lee Sung Jin’s script tracks their heist through bunkers and cities, trust cracking under a hidden traitor (TBD).

Stan’s Bucky is grim—his armory raid pops, guilt over Hydra lingering. Pugh’s Yelena snipes with wit, her sister’s shadow heavy, while Russell’s Walker bristles, his shield toss clashing with Bucky’s. John-Kamen’s mimic fights for freedom, Harbour’s bravado hides pain. Key scenes include a train sabotage, Yelena saving a trapped Ghost (Olga Kurylenko), a plaza brawl where Bucky faces his clone, and a fortress siege revealing Harbour’s betrayal. The plot twists loyalty and redemption, aiming for MCU grit, with stakes sharp.

Thunderbolts* is Bucky’s fight, Stan’s chain broken.
