Summary

• Thunderbolts* has finished filming, according to an MCU star.
• The character Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has been recruiting members for the Thunderbolts team across various movies and series.
• Valentina's government job and MCU setup position her as the Multiverse Saga's equivalent of Nick Fury.

Thunderbolts* has received a major filming update four months after production started. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had several new characters debut in the last couple of years. With so many MCU veterans and new stars, the shared universe could do with a couple of new teams. That is the movie's goal, with the star-studded cast of Marvel's Thunderbolts* including the return of both fan-favorite and obscure MCU characters.
On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Julia Louis-Dreyfus revealed that Thunderbolts* has finished filming. The movie was previously expected to shoot until July after its February production start.
Louis-Dreyfus plays Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in Thunderbolts*. After being asked about joining the MCU and her character's role in multiple projects before the 2025 movie, Louis-Dreyfus revealed that Thunderbolts* "just wrapped last week." The actress kept Thunderbolts* story details a secret.

What Valentina Allegra De Fontaine's MCU Setup Teases About Her Thunderbolts* Role She Has Appeared In Multiple Projects Close Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has left her mark in the MCU by slowly recruiting members for her Thunderbolts team across movies and series. While Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed that Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes is the field leader of the MCU's new team, Valentina is the one behind assembling the squad. Louis-Dreyfuss is a fan of that approach, saying, "I like the idea of her maybe being a little bit of a puppet master."
The character has appeared in Black Widow, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier so far. Across her appearances, Valentina has interacted with key Thunderbolts* characters like Yelena Belova and John Walker, as well as had her true power revealed. Besides being the founder of the Thunderbolts, Valentina is none other than the Director of the CIA in the MCU — and the ex-wife of Martin Freeman's Everett Ross.
Valentina was after Vibranium in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The Thunderbolts serve as the perfect covert team for her to be able to do just that. She could either send the Thunderbolts on a secret mission to get as much Vibranium as possible from Wakanda, or the MCU could introduce Marvel Comics' Savage Land, an exotic location that possesses a specific type of Vibranium and is also the home of dinosaurs. Valentina's government job, MCU setup, and creation of the Thunderbolts effectively make her the Multiverse Saga's Nick Fury, a role that could be expanded on after Thunderbolts*.
Thunderbolts (2025) Marvel's Thunderbolts is a superhero movie based on the comic team of the same name. The movie acts as a part of the MCU's fifth phase of films. The film sees the likes of Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell, the Red Guardian, and more as an unlikely group of heroes and villains brought together to fight for good.
