Welcome to today’s episode! Marvel is pulling back the curtain on its upcoming film, Thunderbolts, showcasing that it’s not your typical entry in the MCU. The buzz centers around a jaw-dropping stunt involving Yelena, played by Florence Pugh, who takes a thrilling fall off the Merdeka 118, the second-tallest building in the world. Director Jake Schreier said they needed “something that had a little more weight and surprise,” and Pugh’s excitement to perform the stunt really sold the idea to Disney. She reportedly “loooooves heights,” and her enthusiasm helped push the project forward.

But the impressive moments don’t stop there. Schreier revealed that another real stunt in the film features Yelena walking away after an explosion. This was filmed just hours after wrapping the Merdeka setup, proving that Thunderbolts is packed with serious stunt work. With the industry soon recognizing stunt performers with Oscar nominations, Marvel may be aiming for accolades in technical categories alongside its usual acting and best picture hopes.

Get ready for the adrenaline rush when Thunderbolts hits theaters on May 2!
