Special Preview

At the D23 Expo in Brazil, Disney and Marvel Studios premiered a special look at Thunderbolts. The footage begins with a dramatic desert chase. The group of antiheroes is seen riding along a deserted highway in a red limo owned by Alexei Shostakov, also known as Red Guardian. A military convoy follows closely, initiating fire on the team.

The military humvees soon get destroyed, suggesting the team has brought serious firepower. In a key moment, Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), appears on a motorcycle, navigating through the wreckage with a large weapon.
