What to expect from Thunderbolts? Florence Pugh dishes out!
According to the English star, Thunderbolts leans into indie sensibilities. Recently speaking to Empire, Pugh described the film as having an A24 assassin movie vibe, emphasizing Marvel’s potential unconventional take on the superhero genre.
Director Jake Schreier reinforced the notion, stating the studio encouraged him to craft Thunderbolts with a fresh perspective. He hinted that the film carries an emotional darkness that blends with humor, bringing a different tone compared to past MCU entries.
