Writer Eric Pearson reacts to the announcement that the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thunderbolts movie is officially happening. Marvel Studios is working on a massive slate of projects for Phase 4 and beyond. While audiences have long known about plans for movies like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Marvels, as well as Disney+ shows like Armor Wars and Secret Invasion, there are a variety of other projects in development. A Thunderbolts movie that brings together the MCU's biggest villains and anti-heroes has long been rumored to be in development as part of Marvel's secret plans.

Movement on a real Thunderbolts movie appeared to pick up in 2021 when reports surfaced that Marvel Studios was moving forward with plans to make it. This included a tentative plan for the film to begin production sometime in 2023, even though no writer or director was yet attached. The MCU Thunderbolts movie took a big step forward recently with the announcement that Jake Schreier will direct. It was also revealed that Black Widow's Eric Pearson is working on the script.
