The top-secret Thunderbolts movie has tapped Jake Schreier as director according to reports.
Deadline revealed the director and says the upcoming Marvel movie will see Eric Pearson write the script and of course Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president, to produce.
Schreier has previously directed the science-fiction comedy-drama Robot & Frank and the film adaptation of the John Green novel, Paper Towns. He’s also directed a number of music videos for artists like Kanye West and Haim.
Thunderbolts has widely been rumored as coming, but today's news further adds to the speculation. Not much is known about the film’s plot besides it featuring a group of supervillains who go on missions for the government - think Suicide Squad but Marvel.
There have been plenty of comics featuring the Thunderbolts. They follow a group of antiheroes in the Marvel Universe. According to Deadline, Marvel has been ”in touch with certain individuals who already are part of the MCU to make sure to keep an opening in their schedules for next summer when it shoots.”
Over the course of the comic’s history, there have been dozens of members in the Thunderbolts. This includes notable Marvel heroes like Black Widow, Ant-Man, Venom, and Deadpool on its roster.
Only time will tell who exactly will star in the film adaptation of the comic, but in the meantime, there’s plenty of Marvel goodness coming up. Thor: Love and Thunder releases early next month. Then, just today, a release date was revealed for the upcoming Marvel’s Midnight Suns game which will feature Spider-Man.
