Marvel Studios may have been trying to be as secretive as they could with their big reveals for upcoming films, but leaks have been coming out online frequently. It’s happening for Deadpool and Wolverine, it happed for Fantastic Four, and now it’s happening again with Thunderbolts*.
Just in, the teaser for the villain team-up has leaked online, and everyone is poring over the new costumes for Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, Taskmaster, and Ghost. Check this out:

Though every new Marvel film is expected to have different costumes (because toys), probably the biggest display overhauls have been for Taskmaster and Ghost.
For Ghost, they kept her powers, but she now sports a faceless mask which gives the character a more mysterious vibe. As for Taskmaster, she’s been given a mask that further defines the skull shape that’s reminiscent of the comics. Albeit, it does kind of look like an edgy hockey mask, if you ask me.
One character that doesn’t get their superhero costume revealed is Sentry a.k.a. Bob played by Lewis Pullman. Rumor has it that the team was supposed to recover the Sentry somehow, and this meet-up with the team is likely the Sentry’s prison where the government keeps him.
We don’t know his role exactly, but he’s expected to be a really powerful character who is also mentally unstable. In the comics, he has the power of a ‘million exploding suns’, and Bob is able to transform thanks to a special serum that he drinks. It’s unclear how Thunderbolts* will change him, but he does look to be the most powerful character in the movie.
Thunderbolts* is set to release in theatres on May 2, 2025.
