Marvel Studios first teased the formation of a Thunderbolts team within the MCU in 2021. The film was revealed to be in development in June 2022, when Schreier and Pearson were attached. The main cast was revealed in September, with additional casting through early 2023. Lee Sung Jin joined to rewrite the script by March 2023, one of several creatives who returned to work with Schreier from the Netflix series Beef (2023–present). Production was delayed due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, causing some cast changes in early 2024. Calo joined by then for further rewrites. Filming took place from February to June 2024 at Trilith Studios and Atlanta Metro Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, and also on location in Utah and Kuala Lumpur.
Thunderbolts* premiered on April 22, 2025, at the Empire Leicester Square in London, England, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 2, as the final film of Phase Five of the MCU. The film received positive reviews from critics.
Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov / Taskmaster:
A member of the Thunderbolts with photographic reflexes that allow her to mimic opponents’ fighting styles. She was formerly controlled by her father, Dreykov, to complete missions for the Red Room before being freed by Romanoff in the film Black Widow (2021).[4]
Lewis Pullman as Bob / Sentry / Void:
A superpowered individual who suffers from amnesia.[9] As the Void, a version of Sentry completely shrouded in shadows, he is invincible, spreads darkness, and can turn people into shadows.[10]
David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian:
A member of the Thunderbolts who is the Russian super soldier counterpart to Captain America and a father-figure to Belova.[4] Harbour said the film further explores the complex relationship between Shostakov and Belova that was introduced in Black Widow. He noted that Belova cannot stand Shostakov, but she needs someone to help her feel complete and Shostakov is able to fill that role.[13]
Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr / Ghost:
A member of the Thunderbolts who can phase through objects.[4] John-Kamen said the film shows a different side of the character following her introduction in the film Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), with Ghost no longer in a constant state of molecular disequilibrium and able to control her powers with calmness and decisiveness.[14]
The Surfer addresses the failures of perceived masculinity. The protagonist has lost everything he holds dear as a provider. His marriage, career, and authority as a father have crumbled into dust. He believes that reclaiming a source of childhood happiness will somehow fill that void. The Surfer will show his fractured family that he can still do the job and give them palpable security. The loathsome Scally preaches a similar message to the Bay Boys, but with a far more aggressive reach. Men have to be dominant, territorial, and unflinching when challenged. But you must first feel pain and worthlessness to claw your way back to an alpha position.
The Surfer had its world premiere in the Midnight Screenings section at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on 18 May 2024, before its theatrical release by Roadside Attractions on 2 May 2025.

Rust is a 2024 American Western film written and directed by Joel Souza. It stars Alec Baldwin (who also produced and co-wrote the story with Souza), Patrick Scott McDermott, Josh Hopkins, Frances Fisher, and Travis Fimmel.[2] The film gained notoriety for a shooting incident in 2021, wherein cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was accidentally killed when a live round was discharged from a prop revolver that Baldwin was using. It premiered at the Polish film festival Camerimage on November 20, 2024, and is scheduled for a theatrical release on May 2, 2025.
Premise
In the 1880s, in Kansas, elderly outlaw Harland Rust comes out of hiding to rescue his 13-year-old nephew Lucas Hollister, after he is sentenced to hang for an accidental killing. Now fugitives, the pair must outrun the vicious bounty hunter Fenton “Preacher” Lang.[3][4]
Patrick Scott McDermott as Lucas Hollister, Rust’s nephew.[5]Brady Noon was initially cast as Lucas, but when production was delayed for over a year, his other commitments made him unable to re-commit to the role.[6]
Travis Fimmel as Fenton “Preacher” Lang, a bounty hunter after Rust
Josh Hopkins as Wood Helm, a sheriff. Jensen Ackles was originally cast as Helm before being replaced by Hopkins because the delayed production caused scheduling conflicts.[8][9]
In May 2020, it was announced that Alec Baldwin would produce and star in Rust, a Western based on a story he created with writer and director Joel Souza.[3] Baldwin told The Hollywood Reporter that he was elated to work with Souza after missing the opportunity to star in Crown Vic (2019). He compared the screenplay to the film Unforgiven (1992), and said a true story inspired it. When asked about his gun slinging and horse riding skills, he said: “They’re always at the ready. I’m an actor of the old school. So if you read my resume, my motorcycle riding, my French, juggling, my horseback riding, my gunplay—is all right at my fingertips.”[11]
In October 2021, production was suspended after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot when a gun being used as a prop was fired by Baldwin during the preparation for a scene; the same round injured Souza. Several lawsuits were filed, and eventually, manslaughter charges were filed against Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.[12][13][14] Filming finally restarted in April 2023 and was completed soon after. Gutierrez-Reed was ultimately found guilty, but Baldwin was acquitted.[15][16][17][18]
Rust was being produced on a $6–7 million budget and described as a “passion project” for Baldwin.[19][20][21] The film’s distribution rights were sold to The Avenue for $2 million during pre-production.[22]Travis Fimmel, Brady Noon, and Frances Fisher joined the cast in September 2021,[23] with Jensen Ackles being cast the following month.[24] The production involved approximately 150 crew members, half local, 22 principal, and 230 background actors from New Mexico.[25][26] The production had a filming schedule of 21 days.[22][27] Filming began in New Mexico on October 6, 2021.[28]
On the morning of October 21, 2021, which was to be the twelfth day of filming, seven unionized members of the film’s camera crew collected their belongings at approximately 6:30a.m. MT in a walkout.[29] They claim they were told to leave the set, with a producer threatening to call the police, and were replaced.[30][31] According to a statement given to TheWrap by an anonymous insider, several crew members took some prop guns off-set that day, including the firearm involved in the incident, to pass the time shooting at beer cans with live ammunition.[32] After a lunch break, the prop guns had been returned.[32] It is not clear if the firearms were checked again.[33] On October 26, the Santa Fe County district attorney said these claims were still unconfirmed.[34]
Later that day, the cast and crew rehearsed a gunfight inside a Bonanza Creek Ranch church. Firearms and ammunition were retrieved from a locked safe, and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed placed three guns for filming on a cart.[29] Among them were a plastic gun that could not shoot live ammunition, a modified weapon that could not fire any ammunition, and a solid-frame .45 Coltrevolver replica made by Pietta.[29][35][36][37]
According to a search warrant, Gutierrez-Reed briefly checked the guns before assistant director David Halls took the Pietta revolver from the prop cart and handed it to Baldwin.[38][39] In a subsequent affidavit, Halls said the safety protocol regarding this firearm was such that he would open the loading gate of the revolver and rotate the cylinder to expose the chambers so he could inspect them himself. According to the affidavit, Halls said he did not check all cylinder chambers but recalled seeing three rounds in the cylinder at the time. After the shooting, Halls said in the affidavit, Gutierrez-Reed retrieved the weapon and opened it, and Halls said that he saw four rounds, which were blanks, and one which could have been the remaining shell of a discharged live round.[40] In the warrant, it is further stated that Halls announced the term “cold gun”, meaning that it did not contain live rounds.[38] Halls’s lawyer, Lisa Torraco, later sought to assert that he did not take the gun off the cart and hand it to Baldwin as reported, but when pressed by a reporter to be clear, she refused to repeat that assertion.[41]
B-camera operator Reid Russell was situated on a camera dolly, looking at a monitor with Hutchins and Souza both nearby. The scene involved Baldwin’s character removing a gun from its holster and pointing it toward the camera.[29][33] The trio behind the monitor was two feet (0.6 m) from the firearm’s muzzle, and none of them wore protective gear such as noise-canceling headphones or safety goggles.[29]
The trio behind the monitor began repositioning the camera to remove a shadow, and Baldwin explained to the crew how he planned to draw the firearm.[33] He said, “So, I guess I’m gonna take this out, pull it, and go, ‘Bang!'”[29] He removed it from the holster, and the revolver discharged a single time. Baldwin denied pulling the trigger of the gun, while ABC News described a later FBI report stating that the gun could only fire if the trigger were pulled.[42][43] Halls was quoted by his attorney Lisa Torraco as saying that Baldwin did not pull the trigger, and that Baldwin’s finger was never within the trigger guard during the incident.[44] When the gun fired, the projectile approached the three behind the monitor. It struck Hutchins in the chest, traveled through her body, and then hit Souza in the shoulder.[30][38][45] Script supervisor Mamie Mitchell called 9-1-1 at 1:46p.m. MT, and emergency crews appeared three minutes later.[29] Footage of the incident was not recorded.[35]
As a result of the incident, production on Rust was suspended indefinitely,[46] though co-producer Anjul Nigam was confident the film would resume production once the investigation ended. However, Nigam later clarified that he meant to express optimism and hope, rather than confidence, as he stated that many involved in the production hope to honor Hutchins by completing her final work.[48][49]
Spider bite incident
In November 2021, weeks after the shooting incident, lamp operator and pipe rigger Jason Miller was bitten in the arm by a brown recluse spider while closing the set. Miller suffered necrosis and sepsis. He was hospitalized and underwent multiple surgeries to avoid amputation of his arm.[50][51][52]
Resumed production
In October 2022, the Hutchins family settled the lawsuit,[53] with filming set to resume in January 2023 in California, with Matthew Hutchins, Halyna’s husband, as an executive producer.[54][55] Many of the film’s crew gave mixed reactions towards the news, with some supporting it and planning on resuming their work on it, but others condemning the decision and deciding not to return.[56] On January 18, filming was delayed again after New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies decided to charge Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter.[57] In February 2023, it was reported that filming would resume in spring 2023 with Souza directing and Bianca Cline as cinematographer. Grant Hill was added as producer.[58] The new shooting location was reported to be Yellowstone Film Ranch in Livingston, Montana.[59] Producers stated that the use of working weapons or ammunition would be prohibited.[58]
Production of the film resumed on April 20, 2023.[5][12] The same day, it was reported that prosecutors had informed Baldwin that the charges against him were being dropped, and the new, updated cast was released.[13] Meanwhile, Patrick Scott McDermott was confirmed to have replaced Noon.[6] By May 2023, Jensen Ackles left because of scheduling conflicts; Josh Hopkins plays a new character.[9] On April 24, 2023, Baldwin returned to the set to finish filming his scenes,[60] with the production concluding on May 22, 2023.[14]

When his parents hire a dating service, Wai-Tung and Simon stall for time by inventing numerous impossible demands. They demand an opera singer while requesting that she be 5’9″, have two PhDs, and speak five languages. To their shock, the service locates a 5’8″ Chinese woman who meets all but one of their qualifications, having only a single PhD instead of two.

At Simon’s insistence, Wai-Tung decides to marry one of his tenants, Wei-Wei, a penniless artist from mainland China needing a green card. Besides helping Wei-Wei, the couple hopes this will placate Wai-Tung’s parents. To complicate matters, Mr. and Mrs. Gao announce they will visit.

For nearly 15 years, he and his fellow artists turned down “north of 30 directors” who wanted to make a documentary on the story. [10]Finally, in 2019, after meeting director Jeremy Workman in Greece, Townsend felt he had finally found a director who could tell the story properly, depicting how the group’s outside public artwork intersected with the larger ideas of the secret apartment. [11]In interviews, Workman has talked about seeing the secret apartment as “the Trojan Horse” to explore deeper ideas about passion and purpose.[6]

Its story centers on Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as they try to save Earth from an alien scheme while trying not to drive each other crazy.

Mickey Barnes and his friend Timo are financially destitute after a failed business venture and on the run from a loan shark. Unable to pay their debts, the pair sign up as crew for a spaceship that leaves Earth to colonize the planet Nilfheim—Timo as a pilot and Mickey as an “Expendable.” As an expendable, Mickey is treated as disposable and given lethal assignments since every time he dies, he is “reprinted” using cloning technology that has been banned on Earth. During the voyage, Mickey develops a romantic relationship with Nasha Barridge, a security agent.
Upon landing on the snow planet Nilfheim, native lifeforms dubbed “creepers” prevent full colonization. Mickey 17, the seventeenth iteration of Mickey, tries to capture a creeper for analysis but falls into a fissure in the ice. Timo sees Mickey 17 being swarmed by creepers before leaving and reports him dead. However, the creepers collectively push Mickey 17 out of the fissure, enabling him to return to the ship.
Mickey 17 goes to his quarters and finds his replacement, Mickey 18, already there. Multiples are forbidden; Kenneth Marshall, the politician who runs the colony, can only use the cloning technology with the proviso that if multiples occur, all clones will be killed immediately. Knowing this, the more aggressive Mickey 18 tries to kill Mickey 17, who resists and suggests an arrangement where both of them live by rotating duties, meals, and deaths. Mickey 18 is interrupted and leaves with Nasha, while Mickey 17 is taken away for dinner with Kenneth Marshall, Marshall’s wife Ylfa, and security agent Kai. At the dinner, Mickey, 17, reacts badly to a meal of experimental meat and subsequent treatment with experimental painkillers.
When Mickey 17 returns to his quarters, Nasha knows the situation and wants to help them.

Night of the Zoopocalypse (originally titled as Night of the Zoombies) is a 2024 animated comedy horror film directed by storyboard artists Ricardo Curtis and Rodrigo Perez-Castro, written by James Kee and producer Steven Hoban, inspired by a concept by Clive Barker loosely based on his short story “ZOOmibes”. The film follows a group of animal survivors in a zoo trying to survive a zombie outbreak when an extraterrestrial virus carried on a meteor turns various zoo creatures into slobbering mutant zombies.
A mysterious space virus meteor crashes into Colepepper Zoo, turning the animals into vicious gummi-like zombie mutants. A young wolf named Gracie teams up with a gruff mountain lion named Dan to find a cure while leading a ragtag group of survivors to stop the leader of the zombies, Bunny Zero, from taking over the world.
The film chronicles the life of revolutionary female wrestler Mildred Burke.
In a time when pro wrestling for women was illegal all over the country, a small-town single mother embraced the danger of changing culture as she dominated America’s most masculine sport to become the first million-dollar female athlete in history.
In a nation where educating girls is seen as rebellion, a visionary woman dares to teach young minds to dream. When their innovation draws global attention, their success sparks hope—and opposition. As threats loom and sacrifices are made, their courage and unity ignite a movement that could forever transform the world.
