After a long wait, “Thunderbolts” is finally approaching, and Marvel has released the first teaser for what will be one of its most beloved movies for fans of characters like Bucky Barnes and Yelena Belova.
The story will bring together a team of superheroes from the MCU who must unite now that the Avengers are not present to save the world from their enemies. The chemistry is there, but none of them are willing to take orders.
Florence Pugh (Oppenheimer), Sebastian Stan (Fresh) and David Harbour (Hellboy) are just three of the many stars who have agreed to star in the project directed by Jake Schreier, which will hit the big screen on May 2, 2025.
Thunderbolts rumored cast salary: The stars’ earnings
Thunderbolts is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated movies of the new phase of the MCU, not only because it will bring together great stars on screen but also because it will feature the return of beloved characters like Bucky Barnes.
Showbiz Galore reported that the budget for the action-packed drama is $80 million, which is quite reasonable as it covers all production costs, visual effects, and even the high salaries of the actors.
Despite many believing that Florence Pugh would be the highest-paid member of the cast, this is not the case, as the title goes to David Harbour, who reportedly received a payment of $4 million for playing Alexei Shostakov.
The media specializing in celebrity earnings reported the amounts that the lead actors would have received for their respective roles, but it should be noted that this has not been confirmed by the actors themselves.
