Marvel's Newest Thunderbolts Team Includes Wolverine, Hulk, and Carnage

With the Thunderbolts making their live-action debut soon, Marvel Comics is unleashing ambitious plans for the team in print. The current Thunderbolts are already heavily involved in the One World Under Doom crossover, but a brand-new team will electrify the scene shortly after the film's release.

Marvel unveiled New Thunderbolts—a series written by Sam Humphries (Uncanny X-Force) and illustrated by Ton Lima (West Coast Avengers), with cover art by Stephen Segovia. Check out the striking cover for issue #1 below:

The series kicks off with Bucky and Black Widow confronting a terrifying threat: Illuminati doppelgangers menacing the Marvel Universe. They'll assemble a formidable team to tackle this crisis, but managing such a volatile mix of heroes and villains will be a monumental challenge.

"I adore every Thunderbolts iteration," Humphries shared in Marvel's press release. "I'm thrilled to uphold the franchise's legacy of intense action, explosive personalities, and shocking twists. This is a gathering of seven of the Marvel Universe's most formidable and unpredictable forces. Building a super-team is like curating the perfect dinner party guest list. I envisioned a dangerous, chaotic, and utterly wild Marvel dinner party, and that's what we've created."

"I'm having a blast collaborating with Mr. Humphries and the team," Lima added. "This lineup is insane! They're not here for pleasantries; they dive straight into the action! That's the most exhilarating part to draw. None of them are known for taking it easy, so neither am I!"

New Thunderbolts #1 hits shelves June 11, 2025.
