After many problems, the MCU and Marvel in general are not yet at the end of their problems. A new blow has just struck a highly anticipated project.
Regardless of whether it is an arthouse film or a large-scale production worth millions, distribution plays a crucial role in the success of a cinematic work. This is undoubtedly why Marvel made a good choice with its highly anticipated superhero project Thunderbolts. Unfortunately, nothing goes as planned in Hollywood and it’s a major setback for the American giant.
This star is saying goodbye to Marvel
As the renowned medium Deadline reports, actress Ayo Edebiri is leaving the film project “Thunderbolts” and will be replaced by the equally talented Geraldine Viswanathan. For those who don’t know her, Ayo Edebiri is an American actress, comedian, screenwriter and producer known for her versatility in the entertainment industry. She is known for her role as Sydney Adamu in the series The Bear, which began airing in 2022. She has also lent her voice to Missy Foreman-Greenwald in Big Mouth since 2020 and has appeared in series such as Dickinson, The Premise and Abbott Elementary.
She has also written for shows such as What We Do in the Shadows and The Eric Andre Show. She was notably nominated for the Gotham Independent Film Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards for her performance in The Bear. Recently she even won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series for the same work…
After all, the young woman is particularly valued for her sense of humor. Marvel therefore has to do without a talented artist. For her part, Geraldine Viswanathan is famous for her starring role in the film “Parental Control”, in which she shared the screen with none other than John Cena, an actor who excels in both the lines and the wrestling holds. The reason for this replacement appears to be related to a scheduling issue, with no apparent controversy. Who knows, maybe we’ll have a chance to see Ayo Edebiri again in a future Marvel project?
Thunderbolts: a big upcoming film
The Thunderbolts film is a new entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that is generating a lot of interest. This film introduces the Thunderbolts team, known in Marvel Comics as a ragtag group of repentant antiheroes and supervillains. These characters work together to carry out missions, often under the direction or approval of the government. Although the concept shares some similarities with the DC Comics universe’s Suicide Squad, the two universes have different tones and narratives. What is certain is that Marvel is betting big on it with the notable presence of a certain Harrison Ford.
This isn’t the first time an actor has left the project, as Steven Yeun (known for The Walking Dead and Nope), who was set to play Sentry, is also no longer with it.
