The Thunderbolts movie tells the story of a group of anti-hero characters forced to work together on a secret operation controlled by the United States government. Unlike the Avengers team, which consists of heroes with strong morals, the Thunderbolts are made up of former villains and troubled individuals who must compromise to complete their mission.

Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), will lead this team, with other members including Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), US Agent (Wyatt Russell), and Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen). They must face a significant threat posed by a powerful character, Sentry or Void, who has extraordinary powers and can endanger the world.

In the latest trailer, Yelena is seen expressing that she feels lost and chooses to distract herself with work. Meanwhile, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), as the manipulative CIA leader, explains that in this world, there are no true heroes, only people with varying degrees of villainy.
