Thunderbolts*
The newThunderboltstrailer boosted the chances that multiple players from theMarvel Cinematic Universemovie could go bad in 2025 . The most appealing facial expression ofThunderboltsis related to its roster of characters . Thecast of Marvel’sThunderbolts*includes many player from previous entries in the franchise , with MCU fan favorites likeSebastian Stan ’s Bucky Barnes and Florence Pugh ’s Yelena Belova playing key rolesin the film . There are also a mates of newcomers , including Lewis Pullman ’s Bob .
While Marvel Studios has not outright said it , footage from the secondment of theMCU ’s 2025 moviesmakes it clear that Bob will plow out to be Sentry . The character is known for his immense power and dour side . Both of those were foreground inThunderbolts * ’s Super Bowl dawdler .
The footage showed the Void , Sentry ’s dark side , kill New York citizen and fighting the relaxation of the Thunderbolts . With such a major threat to fight and more covert operation throughout the film , not all members will hold out when all is said and done . AThunderbolts*report also rally thatthe MCU squad was originally meant to give out in early drafts of the script . Based on all of that , here areThunderbolts * ’s main characters , ranked by least to most potential to die .
8Yelena Belova
Played By Florence Pugh (Joined The MCU In 2021)
First up is Florence Pugh ’s Yelena Belova . WhileThunderbolts * ’s storyis set up to be quite dark and trigger-happy , potential spelling doom for multiple characters , Yelena should not be one of them . Pugh is one of the most prolific stars of her propagation , and the MCU must desire to bind on to her for as long as it can . There is also the fact that Yelena occupy an important view in the dealership , as she serves asthe successor to Scarlet Johansson ’s Black Widow .
TheThunderboltstrailers and interviews with the casting have made it clear thatPugh ’s Yelena Belova will be front and pore when the fresh team debuts . While Marvel could sham that she dies , only to root for a surprise turn of events and reveal Yelena is okay — similar to Iron Man ’s story in 2012’sThe Avengers — downright killing the fictitious character is unconvincing . WithThunderboltsstars confirmed as part of the hurl of next year’sAvengers : Doomsday , Yelena should populate to see another day and perhaps officially become the new Black Widow in the Avengers movie .
7U.S. Agent
Played By Wyatt Russell (Joined The MCU In 2021)
U.S. Agent has a big fortune of dying when compared to Yelena Belova . After all , The Falcon and the Winter Soldieralready established that he is not Steve Rogers ' successor as Captain America . That role is destined for Anthony Mackie ’s Sam Wilson , whostars inCaptain America : Brave New World . However , Wyatt Russell ’s sour twist on one of the most beloved MCU heroes is still one of the characters who are most likely to rest alive by the close of the film . John Walker is a complex reference with potential .
Marvel has released a raw lagger for Thunderbolts * , and besides the first spirit at Sentry , it boosts the hypothesis about the Dark Avengers ' MCU debut .
If the possibility that the Thunderbolts will become the MCU ’s Dark Avengers is true , then Walker act as the team ’s Captain America would be the perfect fit . TheThunderbolts*trailers , particularly the in style one , have register howU.S. Agent and Yelena Belova seem to have a fun dynamicin the film , with lots of back and forth . That could attend to as the fundament of a strong friendship if a franchise blooms . Walker will also be a father , and he is relatively safe in the trailers , so there is more to research with him .

ground on all that apparatus , it would make footling mother wit to kill Valentina just as the Thunderbolts derive together . After all , Nick Fury is still run around in the MCU several long time after the Avengers first got together . Louis - Dreyfus promised thatThunderbolts*would make Valentina ’s plans clearso future MCU motion-picture show could see how she follows up on them after the outcome ofThunderbolts * . That said , after the Thunderbolts come together , Valentina ’s job with the team might be done , and either Sentry or another character could kill her after being raging at Valentina ’s games and manipulation .
5Sentry/The Void
Played By Lewis Pullman (Joins The MCU In 2025)
Sentry is a more complicated event . On the one manus , the grapheme seems unkillable as thing stand . The grounds for that is due to how much more powerful scout is in comparing to the MCU ’s Thunderbolts team . Lewis Pullman ’s character is fundamentally Marvel ’s Superman in terms of ability . Fighting against him will be a few superintendent - soldiers , a couple of excellent hired man - to - hand fighters , and a character who can phase through objects . There simply does not appear to be enough firepower in the MCU ’s Thunderbolts team to vote out Sentry when he becomes the Void .
More often than should take place , the franchise has killed promise villains in their debut projects .
However , Sentry ’s expose dark act in the latestThunderboltstrailer is a double - abut blade . While it evince his immense power by kill multitude as he turned them into shadows on the pavement , Marvel is known for a filthy habit with the MCU ’s villain . More often than should happen , the franchise has killed promising villains in their debut projects . AsThunderboltsfeatures a squad of red characters , perhaps the Void could be down when he return to Bob so that he does not turn unfit again .
4Bucky Barnes
Played By Sebastian Stan (Joined The MCU In 2011)
The first of the top four characters fromThunderboltswith the most chances of dying is Bucky Barnes . Having start his MCU journey alongside Chris Evans ' Captain America in 2011,Sebastian Stan ’s former Winter Soldier is one of the longest - running characters in the MCU . That has led to Bucky playing a prominent role inThunderbolts * . The character will be the loss leader of the team , with the latestThunderboltstrailer revealing that he basically kidnaps the rest of the team and tell them they have to help him take down a major threat , which is the Void .
As one of the most beloved character in the MCU , Bucky ’s demise would make for one of the enfranchisement ’s most impactful moments . Since he is the drawing card of the Thunderbolts , his death could be used to rally the team together and correct up how much of a threat Sentry is as the Void . In theThunderbolts*trailer , Sentry can be seen stopping Bucky ’s metal arm and tearing it right off . As such , Bucky is no match for him in a direct engagement .
3Red Guardian
Played By David Harbour (Joined The MCU In 2021)
David Harbour ’s purpose as Hopper inStranger Thingsquickly take to the histrion becoming part of many exciting task . As Red Guardian inBlack Widow , he delivered one of the most gumptious and magnetic performances in the MCU as a whole . bolt * ’s trailers have done a majuscule job of showing howRed Guardian will be the glue that take the team together , with the character being shiver to be back in action mechanism and now doing what he loves as part of a team that include one of his daughters .
At 49 , Harbour is the oldest star of the bunch — Sebastian Stan ’s Bucky Barnes is technically the oldest character — and that makes him a potential selection for a sacrifice throughout the picture show . As the most magnetic member of the squad , Red Guardian ’s dying could be the net stair for the Thunderbolts to feel like a phratry and vote out Sentry . The Void is also seen throwing Red Guardian through a windowpane at the former Avengers Tower , which is quite the fall .
2Ghost
Played By Hannah John-Kamen (Joined The MCU In 2018)
Thunderbolts*has to feature a duo of deaths to pay off the darker tone of the cinema and the mind that Valentina assembles a team of expendables to do her bidding . Ghost has been in the MCU for quite some clock time , but Marvel did not seem to have architectural plan for her beforeThunderbolts * ’s cast was foretell . Without many declamatory MCU connection , Ghost appear asone of the well-fixed characters to kill off in the coming MCU movieto build up stake and show that nobody is dependable .
Hannah John - Kamen ’s Ghost is also one of the members of the Thunderbolts with the least screen meter in the film ’s trailers so far . While Ghost is present in multiple team shots , the fiber never really get a moment to shine like others , such as Bucky and Red Guardian , have had . Withthe Ant - Man dealership in all probability over afterAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniaunderperformed , Ghost ’s days might be counted , with her returning to die inThunderbolts * .
1Taskmaster
Played By Olga Kurylenko (Joined The MCU In 2021)
Finally , Taskmaster is already as good as dead inThunderbolts * . There is only no elbow room that the movie will end without at least one expiry in the team . The Thunderbolts are being sent on a risky foreign mission against Marvel ’s interpretation of Superman , which the squad own no percipient style of how to break off . tot up to that is the fact that Taskmaster is plainly missing from many scene from theThunderbolts*trailers , with team moment notably not including the fiber . Taskmaster is only really present for one chronological succession .
TheThunderboltstrailers revealed that the team comes together after each extremity is sent on a separate mission , andthey all get interlock in a room . Most , if not all , of the scenes featuring Taskmaster in the trailer for the MCU film are from that chronological sequence . There have not been any moments where Taskmaster is not in an action succession fighting the squad . As such , it seems like she will die early in the movie , setting up the stakes forThunderboltsfrom the start .
