Cast members lightning, one of the upcoming films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is a project that, according to the information we have from the comics, was supposed to show a darker and more philosophically questionable side of a group of characters. Among the performers who will take part in the production are Stephen Younremembered for his time in the walking Dead And Nope!.
According to Deadline, Steven Yeun will be part of lightning in a role not yet revealed. However, it is known that it will be “significant” within the production. As with almost any Marvel Cinematic Universe project, these are key aspects that are being kept under wraps from the public. Therefore, it is not yet known what role the actor will play.
lightning will represent the addition of several characters featured in various Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. Curiously, in the case of Steven Yeun, he was not part of any other series or film in the franchise. Uncertainty and curiosity about his possible role is even wider. In this regard, some issues need to be considered.
Who are the Thunderbolts?
While there are no details about this film yet, the lineup does provide a few clues. Before delving into it, it is necessary to clarify that The Thunderbolts in the comics are a group of villains and anti-heroes.. In some cases, they seek some sort of redemption. In others, they use this label to try to achieve other goals. Come on, Marvel version Suicide Squad.
These are profiles that are theoretically not suitable for teamwork. However, they do so for general interests or specific needs. Its purpose in many cases is to deal with missions or situations that Avengers or the other heroes on the front line won’t board. This is because, politically and philosophically, they may bring conflict with the “good guys” because they are figures of ethical and moral compass.
But the latter does not occur in the case of the Thunderbolts. These characters are governed by their own codes that go beyond the leadership structure. This issue brings a shifting undertone to the group, but also serves as an opposition to the most classic Marvel stories.
An adaptation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Until now, lightning confirmed the following characters and actors:
- Countess Valentine Allegra de la Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus)
- US agent (Wyatt Russell)
- Red Guardian (David Harbour)
- Elena Belova (Florence Pugh)
- task master (Olga Kurilenko)
- Ghost (Hannah John Kamen)
- winter soldier (Sebastian Stan)
What stands out within this spread is that these characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are neither heroes nor anti-heroes. At the same time, they cannot be recognized as villains in the most direct sense. His role in the franchise allows for several readings.
Some of these characters They were presented as villains, but in the development of their respective productions, they underwent a transformation.. Others act as double agents, able to get along with different sectors as long as it suits them. So does this contradict comic book mythology? Given that the Thunderbolts are essentially a group of villains, yes.
However, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it can be argued that his job is to adapt the stories presented in the comics. So this opens the door to a lot of reading about the inclusion of Steven Yeun, maybe he will have a role that goes beyond the scope of this production?
Premiere lightning scheduled for July 26, 2024.
