Thunderbolts* Really Is Marvel’s Answer to an A24 Movie
The MCU’s anti-hero team-up is less Suicide Squad than Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Agent John Walker (Wyatt Russell), a Temu version of Captain America who was introduced in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, doesn’t immediately ring a bell, or you’re struggling to recall Ava Starr (Hannah John-Kamen), an antagonist from Ant-Man and the Wasp who can phase through walls — well, that’s the joke. Eating takeout off his kitchen counter while his soiled cybernetic arm is being run through the dishwasher, he doesn’t look like a hero being forced to play a normie, but like someone relatably bewildered about what it means to take regular action toward doing the right thing. But Pugh sells her character’s unhappiness with a rawness that’s improbably poignant, whether Yelena is dryly joking with Bob about how the best way to handle dark feelings is to shove them down, or bickering with her surrogate father Alexei Shostakov (a wonderful David Harbour), who’s declined from homegrown Soviet legend the Red Guardian to bored limo driver.
