Thunderbolts Will Be Absolutely Wild Says Julia Louis-Dreyfus
79Julia Louis-Dreyfus has had a long and illustrious career filled with memorable characters, most of which have allowed her to showcase her keen comedic timing and quick, sharp wit, including her iconic roles as Elaine Benes in Seinfeld and Selina Meyer in Veep. More recently, the actress made her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the cunning Valentina Allegra de Fontaine—which is a role that her kids were the most excited to see her in.
During the press junket for Netflix's upcoming comedy You People, Collider's own Steve Weintraub spoke with Louis-Dreyfus about a wide variety of topics, including the MCU and her upcoming return as Valentina in the highly anticipated Thunderbolts film, which will cap off Phase 5 in 2024. She joked with her You People co-star, David Duchovny, that while her sons are excited about all of her work, it was Marvel that really stirred up their excitement, saying:
"They're interested in this, of course. But the point is that, for years, both of my boys have been saying, "Mom, why don't you do a Marvel movie? Do a Marvel movie. Do a Marvel movie." And I'm like, "Oh, they’re not going to pick me for a Marvel movie." And then they did. And I was like, "Oh yeah. Now my boys are going to be psyched."
While she didn't say much about the film, she did express her excitement by saying, "I'm really excited to shoot Thunderbolts, which we're going to do this year. It's going to be absolutely wild." Pre-production is currently underway ahead of the film's June start date, with filming taking place in Atlanta, Georgia—a location that will allow David Harbour to pull double duty as Red Guardian and Hopper in the final season of Stranger Things.
