The bad guys take center stage in the first teaser trailer for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*.
“Everyone here has done bad things,” Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova/Black Widow says as she comes to blows with several of Marvel’s antiheroes. This includes John Walker/U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Ava Starr/Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and a mysterious character named Bob (Lewis Pullman), who is believed to be Sentry. These five, along with Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian (David Harbour) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), are forced to team up by the American government and work on a dangerous mission.

Warfare trailer: Alex Garland explores horrors of the Iraq War in A24 thriller
A24 released the tense first trailer for Warfare, an upcoming war film written and directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland.
Set in 2006, Warfare follows a group of American Navy SEALs inside the home of an Iraqi family. The platoon is observing enemy forces from afar when an explosion rocks the house and forces the soldiers into action.

Warfare boasts an impressive ensemble of young male actors, including D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga, Joseph Quinn, and Charles Melton.
