Most notably shes again front and center with Thunderbolts now retitled Thunderbolts The New Avengers according to Marvel Studios just as the movie finishes its transition from multiplexes to living rooms The Hollywood Reporter covers the digital drop on July 1 and the BluRayDVD hitting stores on July 29 accompanied by a wave of new interviews and a tightlycut trailer. Julia has openly discussed in Entertainment Weekly how she knew the movie’s big team twist for years thanks to original MCU meetings with Kevin Feige She described the secrecy as a major career challenge and marveled at finally being able to talk about “Val,” her character’s relentless MCU puppet master. Even though Thunderbolts was wellliked by critics and fans and just scored a set of Critics’ Choice Super Awards nominations with Julia herself nominated for Best Actress the movie underperformed at the box office bringing in 380 million worldwide on a 180 million budget. Industry analysts speculate in Variety that sluggish international numbers and a saturated superhero market are the culprits but Julia’s performance and her press conference scene as Val naming the New Avengers have become the talk of MCU Twitter and countless meme threads.

While this collaboration has been numerously liked and commented on in Hollywood circles, its clear Julia intends to keep climate advocacy a core part of her offscreen identity.
