David Harbour Loves the Mercenary Element in the MCU
Talking about his next MCU film, Harbour shared that he loves the mercenary element in the MCU. TheHellboystar mentioned that he likes it now that MCU is starting to focus on these characters.
“MCU has always been sort of elevated in a certain way. Captain America, even Iron Man, although he has egos, are always in it for the right reasons or ultimately does the right thing,”David Harbour said. Talking about his fellow team members he shared that he loves these guys, who are a bunch of losers.
Following the release ofBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever, there have been multiple theories about how its ending sets up a storyline forThunderbolts.
And now that theBlack Widowstar has said that Julia Louis Dreyfus’ character will be explored in a bigger way, it can lead to some connection with the fan theory. InWakanda Forever, Valentina Allegra makes her intention clear about waging a war against Wakanda.
Fans believe that the villainous team could be used to invade Wakanda in the upcoming film. However, the studio has not confirmed anything yet.
Thunderboltswill release on July 17, 2025.
