A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that Marvel Studios would move forward with the production of films such as Lama, Deadpool 3AND Lightning during the writers’ strike. Well, production on one of those projects is now on pause.
Thunderbolts was scheduled to begin filming in three weeks in Atlanta, but this is no longer the cast as the crew were recently notified that production will not be moving forward. But the plan is to resume production after the strike ends.
We recently learned that while Deadpool 3 is shooting, Ryan Reynolds improvising dialogue during filming is not allowed due to the strike.
Lightning is directed by Jake Schreier with a script he’s working on Lee Sung JinNetflix creator and showrunner Beef.
Lee previously said about writing the script: “I’m rewriting it. It’s the whole team again. Jake asked if I’d come on board. I probably should have taken a break, but there are a lot of exciting themes and things in the film that I couldn’t help but sign on to.
He added, “It’s really an honor to be a part of a Marvel thing, but it’s very different. One, it’s not my project, it’s Jake’s. It is such a large scope and scale that the writing is very different. At the same time, the process feels the same, I still talk to Jake every day. … I think once you find the team of people that you love and trust and are so talented, you do whatever it takes to keep working with them.
The film has a great ensemble cast which includes Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Port as Red Guardian, Julie Louis-Dreyfus as Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Wyatt Russell as an agent of the United States, Hannah John Kamen like ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster and of course Florence Pug as Yelena Belova. Then, there is Harrison Fordwho is taking on the role of General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross who will become president of the United States in Captain America: New World Order. Ayo Edebiri he also joined the cast in an undisclosed role.
We don’t know much about what the Thunderbolts story will entail, but we recently learned a new detail about the Thunderbolts team from Kevin Feigeand shared that Bucky Barnes is set to lead the team in the film.
Lightning will premiere on July 26, 2023.
