Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts* | Giga Trailer

Thunderbolts*' "Absolute Cinema" trailer is great, but it reminds me of one excellent actor who left the project that I still want to see in the MCU. In a recent interview with Empire, Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova, described Thunderbolts* as a "quite badass indie, A24-feeling assassin movie with Marvel superheroes." Marvel embraced her comments, releasing a new Thunderbolts* trailer highlighting the project's filmmakers and the indie darlings they're associated with. It's a unique teaser from Marvel, which normally keeps the trailers focused on the characters and plot.

The trailer doesn't share the specific names of these figures, but instead mentions their title and a previous film they worked on. A few notable credits are the cinematographer of The Green Knight (Andrew Droz Palermo) and the composers of Everything Everywhere All At Once (Son Lux). It also shares some critically praised films featuring actors in Thunderbolts*, including A Different Man and Midsommar. Some of the mentioned films include an award-winning actor whose casting fell through due to scheduling difficulties, and I'm frustrated that he and Marvel couldn't work it out.
