We are the cast of Thunderbolts,

and we are going to answer the most Googled questions ever.

[Cast Member] About what?

[group drumming hands on table]

Life! Okay, okay.

No, about the movie!

[group laughing]

About the movie!

[percussion music] [electronic sound effects]

Are the Thunderbolts good guys?

Are the Thunderbolts good guys?

Good intentioned guys. Guys.

Okay, next. Next.

Done that one. That's gone.

Guys, I got a question.

Can the Thunderbolts beat Sentry?

[group laughing]

Guess you'll have to watch the movie.

[buzzing sound]

Maybe they'll get him I'm assuming we-

to join up.

Why is Bucky Barnes referred to as 'The Winter Soldier'?

Hmm. Oh, God,

why is it quiet?

[group laughing]

It goes back to the Russians.

That's all I'm going to say.

Very mysterious. [buzzing sound]

It means he doesn't know the answer.

[group laughing]

Somebody hasn't done someone's character work recently.

How many Thunderbolts are there?

Five or six!

Five or six. [group laughing]

A half dozen.

Who is the leader in Thunderbolts?

Me! [buzzing sound]

[Hannah laughing]

Who are Yelena's real parents?

We have no idea. I don't know.

She was abducted to become a child assassin,

but her parents that she grew up with,

David Harbor and Rachel Weisz. [bell dings]

But her real parents, we don't know, do we?

That's the subject of Thunderbolts 2.

Oh, my God!

Searching for Yelena's real parents.

Is Red Guardian Black Widow's dad?

Yeah, baby! [buzzing sound]

Hell, yeah! Yeah.

How did U.S. Agent get his powers?

I took a shot that was on the floor.

A tequila? Yeah. [laughing]

But wait, before you-

Got wasted and woke up strong.

But before you even took the shot,

you were pretty bad-ass, right?

[hesitantly] Yeah, yeah.

[group laughing]

Do you know?

I found some shit on the floor and I took it.

[buzzing sound]

And it made your life better.

Yeah. Interesting.

Explains a lot.

What is Ghost's real name?

Ava Starr, Ava Starr. Ava Starr.

She's a star, baby! Because she's a star, baby!

Ohh. She's a star.

Two r's, is it a double r in Starr?

Yeah, double R, Starr.

Does Valentina Allegra de Fontaine have powers?

Yes, mental powers. [buzzing sound]

She's pretty fucking boss bitch.

Yeah. That's a good power.

Who was the first superhero in the MCU?

In, like, chronological order?

Ironman? No, no, no.

Tony Stark. No, no, no, no.

In the, oh, in the MCU.

Wasn't it The Hulk? Yeah.

Was it the Ang Lee...

As far as I'm concerned,

Ironman was the beginning of everything.

[Florence] The superheros.

[Producer] I have Captain America.

[all gasping] [buzzer sounds]

What?

That's chronological.

And that's who we meant, Captain America,

when we said Hulk.

Can Sentry beat Thanos?

Sure. I hope so.

[buzzer sound]

[group laughing]

Why not?

Who did U.S. Agent kill?

A bad guy. [buzzer sound]

[group laughing]

He was an innocent civilian!

[Wyatt] He wasn't a civilian.

We've talked about this!

Walker!

[group laughing]

What to watch before Thunderbolts?

Kramer vs. Kramer. Kramer vs. Kramer.

[all exclaiming and laughing]

[Julia applauding]

Oh, my God, the mind meld of the Thunderbolts!

We didn't even plan that!

[Julia applauding]

That's how in tune we are!

What?! [buzzer sound]

With the Oscar campaign incoming for Thunderbolt.

How strong are the Thunderbolts?

What the hell is this question?

[group laughing]

Not very.

They're not that strong.

Internally, though.

Yeah, internally, and also,

I think between them they could probably

do quite a fair few squats.

How old is Yelena Belova in 'Thunderbolts'?

[Florence flutters lips]

Oh, you should never ask, come on!

Never ask. This is rude.

23. So rude.

I just assumed she's like Captain America,

so she's like 900 years old.

[women laughing]

She's trapped in ice in the paleolithic era.

And then thawed out, wait until you see the movie,

you're gonna love this.

Is Isaiah stronger than Winter Soldier?

Oh, I, look. Could you

beat up my dad?

[group laughing]

[buzzer sound]

I don't know.

[Cast Member] I don't think that I would want to.

Who is the villain in 'Thunderbolts'?

Mmm. Ahhh.

Valentina. I'm not sure about that.

Oh, I bet you're not sure about that.

That's right, I'm not sure about that.

[group laughing]

Aspects of ourselves.

Is Yelena a villain?

In general. [laughing]

In general.

Um, you know what, she has been,

so I think that's something that she's constantly

wrestling with in herself.

So I think her past, yes, she's trying to figure out

how she feels now. [bell dings]

But I do think she wants to be a better person.

Is Yelena a superhero?

She doesn't have any like, super juice in her

or anything like that.

What if you're super cool and have a super big heart?

Yeah, she's super cool and has a super heart

and she knows how to do super assassin cool stuff.

Yeah, and you've got the-

[both imitating electricity]

What is Yelena Belova's superhero name?

Well, she's technically a Black Widow.

She's baby Black Widow.

She's Little Widow. Little Widow.

[all exclaiming and talking at once]

Is Red Guardian's shield vibranium?

Yes.

I don't have, spoiler alert, I don't have a shield.

[Florence gasping]

I had one, years ago, that got lost, I guess.

Yeah.

Somewhere, it wasn't in the farmhouse with Black Widow.

Did you lose it? Shhhhh, no!

[group laughing]

I know exactly where it is!

How did Ghost get her powers?

Born in a lab. Trapped in a room.

Got caught in a quantum force

when I was trying to save my dad,

who's lab was stolen by Hank Pim.

Who does U.S. Agent work for?

Nobody, bitch.

[group exclaiming and laughing]

Look out!

Does John Walker have super powers?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yes, I mean-

He can jump really high.

[laughing] Really high.

Not high enough.

Makes me strong, it doesn't give you big muscles.

Oh, bummer.

Get a trainer!

[group laughing]

Does the Red Guardian have Super Soldier Serum?

Hell, yeah.

I got that solid Russian stuff.

From the '80's, the good old days.

Where are the Avengers in 'Thunderbolts'?

Having a cocktail.

[group laughing]

Clearly.

They're not coming through that door.

They're not coming through that door.

How to watch the Marvel movies in chronological order?

Google it! Google.

Yeah, Google it.

I mean, I do know it starts with Captain America.

There you go, there's your answer.

[buzzer sound]

Yeah, I'll name all 32, in order, here we go.

No, we don't have time.

Is Red Hulk a member of the Thunderbolts?

No. Red Hulk?

No. I wish, though.

Harrison Ford, baby.

Thaddeus Ross. No, I know.

Is Bucky Barnes getting a new code name

in Marvel's 'Thunderbolts'?

No. [bell dings]

David, how was Red Guardian created?

He had parents and one night, they had a baby.

The idea more though, was that he was chosen

by the Soviet Union to be the counterpart

to Captain America, and he was given this

Super Soldier Serum, [bell dings]

and he was going to be the great hope of Russia

and then he messed it all up by getting in his own way.

No!

You? Never! There you go!

Is Marvel's Ghost a hero or a villain.

Ohh! Ohh!

She is a hero. Hero.

She's trying, man. She comes back.

Why, why is, why the hell

is Bucky Barnes on the Thunderbolts?

[group laughing]

The most asked question on the internet.

Why? Why?

Clearly they need a little pick-me-up.

[group laughing uproariously]

But other than that, you know.

Because he can [buzzer sound]

give them something from his own experience.

Piggybacking off of that,

What happened to Bucky between

Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Thunderbolts?

He just looked in the mirror and was like,

I'm gonna grow that hair out.

[group laughing]

Yeah, that's right.

Well, I think he was, you know,

hoping to find a family and he found a family.

[buzzer sound]

[All] Awwww!

Stop. You're going to make me cry.

Sorry. [laughing]

Why is Bucky's nickname Bucky?

[all giggling]

I don't know, for 106 years! [buzzer sound]

Bucky! I have wondered.

[group laughing]

Well, I couldn't be James.

Is Sentry too powerful for the MCU?

No, he's just powerful, perfect amount of power.

[group laughing]

Perfect amount of power. Likes his job.

What is Bucky's arm made of?

Vibranium. Vibramiun.

[bell dings]

[group laughing]

Madam learn to pronounce 'vibranium'.

Shit, that's how it's actually pronounced.

Does U.S. Agent have a shield?

It's not a shield. [bell dings]

It's a great shield.

It's a good shield, and when it's a full shield

and when it's a half shield.

How strong is U.S. Agent?

Oh, so strong. [bell dings]

Who would win in a fight between me and you?

Obviously him.

[David gasping incredulously]

Sorry. [laughing]

What? Sorry, Dad.

Who is Valentina Allegra de Fontaine recruiting?

Well, really, she's recruiting Bob, ultimately.

Mmm. She's right.

She's recruiting vulnerable souls to try and...

Yes, she's looking for people with problems.

Is Valentina Allegra de Fontaine a villain?

No. Yes!

No! [group laughing]

She's an anti-villain.

Is Sentry good or bad in Thunderbolts?

Is anyone good or bad?

He's trying and traumatized.

No one wants to know.

He looks glorious, though.

What is Robert Reynolds' power in Marvel?

I mean, when he's Robert Reynolds,

it's just being kind of a-

Being cute and sad.

[buzzer sound]

Yeah. Yeah.

Trying to stay out of the way,

but really good at staying out of the way.

Yeah.

Being depressed.

Oh, that was fabulous. Thinking he's no good.

Okay, those are the questions,

thank you for watching.
