John-Kamen’s Ghost debuted back in “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” and the last time we saw Stan’s Bucky was in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”

The entire cast was on stage at D23, except for Pugh, who has been on set filming “Dune: Part 2” recently. “It’s good to be back as the most boring Avenge,” Russell said on stage, while Stan joked “Listen, these are my kinds of people.” Feige revealed that the movie will start filming early next year.

“Thunderbolts” was officially announced in July during Marvel’s Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, along with its 2024 release date.
