A new “Thunrderbolts*” trailer dropped Friday, and it this time, the Marvel Studios blockbuster took a surprising approach to its own material: It wants more indie cred.
In the trailer exclusive to Letterboxd, the 65-second spot highlights the behind-the-scenes creative team’s credentials across some of the decades most successful indie films, from “Minari” to “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” In other words, the Marvel film began marketing itself as an A24 movie.
Title cards include:
- From the stars of “Midsommar,” “A Different Man” and “You Hurt My Feelings” (referring to Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan and Julia Louis-Dreyfus)
- … the writers and director of “Beef” (referring to director Jake Schreier and writers Joanna Calo and Joanna Calo)
- … the cinematographer of “The Green Knight” (Andrew Droz Palermo)
- … the production designer of “Hereditary” (Grace Yun)
- … the editor of “Minari” (Harry Yoon)
- And the composer of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (Son Lux)
