During a touching reunion with her father, Alexei, played by David Harbour, Yelena reflects on her unfulfilled life.
As the action unfolds, Yelena quickly finds herself amidst a group of some of Marvel's most notorious antiheroes.
"Everyone here has done bad things... So, someone wants us gone," she states ominously to her companions, including John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko).
The tension builds as they realize they are targets of an unseen villain.
"This could get messy," Yelena warns, encapsulating the film's tagline, "Careful Who You Assemble."
The trailer also features Lewis Pullman's Bob and Julia Louis-Dreyfus's Val, who introduces the team of unlikely allies facing perilous challenges.
'Thunderbolts' experienced delays due to the writers' and actors' strikes last year, resulting in a revised release date.
Production saw changes as Geraldine Viswanathan stepped in for Ayo Edebiri and Lewis Pullman took over from Steven Yeun due to scheduling conflicts.
Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, leads the production team, with Louis D'Esposito, Brian Chapek, Jason Tamez, and Scarlett Johansson serving as executive producers.
With its blend of action, dark humour, and complex characters, 'Thunderbolts' promises to be an exciting addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
