‘Thunderbolts*’ Actor Confirms MCU to Cut Back on CGI

If there’s been one complaint we’ve been hearing for years regarding Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, it’s the overreliance on CGI. OK, the lack of direction is also a common annoyance, but we will focus on abundant bluescreens. Luckily, it appears that Thunderbolts* may break Marvel’s addiction to computer-generated imagery.

While speaking with The Daily, one of the stars of the upcoming semi-grounded superhero movie said we should expect a more human story focused on people rather than spectacle.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who previously played Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, delivered the good news. In the interview, she said, “They are trying to stay away from [CGI] as much…”

The former Seinfeld star also commented on how the story will be a more character-driven outing, something we’ve only seen done well in the Guardians trilogy:

“They are very much focused on … the humans’ story. Believe it or not. I think they are trying to sort of go back to their roots, as it were, for real. So there is a lot of focus on that.“

Check out the full interview below.

In other Thunderbolts* news, it was recently revealed that Florence Pugh was making a lot of dough for the film. Eight figures is the rumored amount. That’s not bad, considering the movie is a continuation of mediocre MCU TV shows and a lackluster Black Widow movie.

Thunderbolts* should arrive in theatres in May 2025 unless a delay happens. Other returning stars include Sebastian Stan, Harrison Ford (who we should see as General Ross in Cap 4), and David Harbour.

If you’ve been to a McDonald’s recently, you’ll probably notice the Captain America: Brave New World Happy Meal toys. Don’t look too close, or the packaging will ruin some plot details. These spoilers may also apply to a specific character in Thunderbolts*.
