About this listen
Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been making headlines on multiple fronts just this week. Most recently, she confirmed in an interview with Josh Horowitz that Marvels Thunderbolts*, in which she returns as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, finally wrapped filming last week. She called the experience pretty dreamy and highlighted working alongside Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Sebastian Stan, and more. While she declined to reveal any plot details or clarify the mysterious asterisk in the title, this marks a major milestone after last years industry strikes delayed the production, making completion a significant step for both her career and the broader Marvel franchise, as reported by ComicBookMovie. Last week also saw coverage of her appearance at the Thunderbolts* film premiere in London, where she joined a star-studded cast on the red carpet, confirming the films status as a centerpiece in upcoming Marvel plans according to Good Morning America.
On the personal side, Julia celebrated her 38th wedding anniversary with husband Brad Hall on June 25. She posted a humorous and affectionate tribute on Instagram referencing her son Henry’s new song, 'Home Screen,' once again using her signature wit to connect her public and private lives, according to PEOPLE. This long, stable marriage is still capturing public imagination, especially with both of their sons succeeding—Henry as a musician, Charlie as an actor—in the entertainment industry.
Julia’s activism also made news as Rolling Stone detailed her recent fiery appearance at a Santa Barbara town hall where she fiercely opposed the restart of a controversial oil pipeline—a cause close to her heart as a longtime environmental advocate. Her outspoken approach reportedly drew both cheers and jeers, but she later told reporters that she felt emboldened by the opposition, stating, “I was speaking truth to power pretty forcefully... and so they got pissed off. I felt emboldened by it, to be honest. It was fuel, the good kind of fuel.”
Her podcast, Wiser Than Me, continues its successful run, earning shoutouts from business leaders and consistently making must-listen lists, including recent praise in D Magazine. As an influential TV legend, Julia also spoke this week about taking creative risks—she told AOL about the leap of faith in working with a first-time director, reinforcing her ongoing role as a mentor and advocate for bold choices in Hollywood. No major unverified rumors have surfaced, but her every public move remains a source of celebration on social media, confirming her enduring place as an American cultural icon.
