Thunderbolts' Stars Pugh & Harbour Spill Secrets: Missing Black Widow Co-Stars & A Hilarious Tom Cruise Impersonation!
Marvel's upcoming anti-hero team-up movie, Thunderbolts, is generating serious buzz, and stars Florence Pugh and David Harbour are fueling the excitement with some candid revelations. In a recent interview, the dynamic duo discussed missing familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly those who starred alongside them in Black Widow, and shared a hilarious anecdote about pretending to be Tom Cruise on set.
The conversation started with a wistful acknowledgement of the absence of Rachel Weisz, who played Yelena Belova's adoptive mother in Black Widow. Harbour, known for his role as Red Guardian, playfully admitted he's been actively campaigning for Weisz's return to the MCU. "I think there's still very much potential," he stated, hinting at the untapped possibilities of exploring her character's storyline further. This comment has sent fans into a frenzy, speculating about potential appearances and storylines for Weisz’s Yelena.
Beyond the missing co-stars, Pugh and Harbour also provided a glimpse into the lighter side of filming Thunderbolts. Pugh, who plays the formidable Kate Bishop, recounted a moment of playful impersonation involving none other than Tom Cruise. While details remain intentionally vague, the story involved Harbour attempting to emulate Cruise's famously intense and dedicated work ethic, resulting in a scene that Pugh described as both amusing and impressive.
Thunderbolts promises to be a significant departure from the traditional MCU superhero formula, focusing on a team of morally ambiguous characters tasked with carrying out covert missions. The film's premise allows for a darker, grittier tone, and the cast's chemistry has already been praised as a major selling point. With a roster including Pugh, Harbour, Sebastian Stan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and more, the film is expected to deliver a compelling blend of action, humor, and intrigue.
The anticipation for Thunderbolts is reaching fever pitch, and these behind-the-scenes glimpses only serve to heighten the excitement. Whether it's the hope of seeing familiar faces return or the promise of unexpected comedic moments, the film is shaping up to be a must-see addition to the MCU.
The film is directed by Jake Schreier and is slated for release on December 25, 2024. Keep an eye out for more updates as the release date approaches!
