00:00 Wyatt Russell is teasing what Marvel fans can expect from Thunderbolts.
00:04 The actor and his father, Kurt Russell, sat down for a conversation at 92NY on Wednesday
00:09 to talk about their Apple TV+ series, Monarch Legacy of Monsters.
00:13 But first, Wyatt broke some news when moderator Josh Horwitz asked about his role in the upcoming
00:17 Marvel movie Thunderbolts.
00:19 He told the crowd that "due to the Hollywood strikes, we have almost started shooting that
00:22 about 14 times."
00:24 The actor also revealed that he has not read a finished script yet.
00:27 Despite that, he said, "I have confidence it's going to be good.
00:30 I know everybody is sort of on this Marvel train right now of things not going so well."
00:34 He went on to commend the film's director, saying, "I know Jake so well and I know how
00:38 smart Jake is and how much he cares about making something interesting and different
00:42 and utilizing everyone's talents to the best of their ability.
00:45 And the story that I think they've come up with is really interesting.
00:48 I know parts of the story and how the story works.
00:51 I can't talk about it.
00:52 But it's not a straightforward Marvel movie as you've seen in the past."
00:55 He continued, "I think that it's going to be a lot of fun.
00:58 But I think it will be something that hopefully Marvel fans will look at and go, 'Oh, OK,
01:02 this is a little different.
01:03 Let's go hard at it.'
01:04 And as far as how we are approaching it, it's time to go to work a little bit.
01:08 It's time to make a good Marvel movie.
01:09 So let's do that and work hard at it and don't take things for granted."
