Julia Louis-Dreyfus breaks the silence on the Countess and the Thunderbolts

Attention to the bombings that Julia Louis-Dreyfus dropped on her character in Marvel, Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, and on Thunderbolts.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to grow and another cycle is closing. Phase 5 is already on the verge of its grand entrance with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, so great stories will begin to gain ground in the franchise that has made the most money in Hollywood history. It’s not just The Avengers or The Marvels, but another group will emerge at this stage. The thunderbolts they ask for clue

Although no, it is not about The Fantastic 4 or the X-Men either, but about the Thunderbolts, the name promises. Villains and anti-heroes who haven’t had the space they deserve will now have their own team. Red Guardian, The Ghost, US Agent, Yelena Belova, Taskmaster and Red Hulk will be reunited with others thanks to the Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

The mysterious woman has already appeared in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Interpreted by Julia Louis-Dreyfusher cameos have been reduced to her role as a recruiter and powerful leader.

Now, for the first time, the actress has referred to her character, as well as the projects that await her. “There’s so much secret around you”, he half whispers with joy in an interview with Variety. “When I started filming, I had to go on set in a black hooded cloak and keep my head down so no one could see that I was the one walking into the soundstage.” While the character has been given secondary roles in multiple Marvel projects, he’ll get his biggest performance to date in Thunderbolts, which begins filming in June. Louis-Dreyfus’ vertigo is understandable, given the curve Marvel represents at this point in his career, the magazine says.

Louis-Dreyfus was recruited to the MCU in the same way as most great MCU talents: in an informal meeting with Marvel’s creative director, Kevin Feigeand the co-chair Louis D’Esposito.

“I said, ‘If anything comes up, let me know,’” recalls Louis-Dreyfus. Just a few days later, she took on the role of Contessa, a mysterious woman with a knack for amassing power and recruiting superheroes to do her bidding. The Countess will form a team of anti-heroes under her command, comic book watchers have speculated. The movie will pair Louis-Dreyfus with MCU mainstays, Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan, as well as Marvel newbies like Wyatt Russell.

“I did this to see if I can earn the respect of these people in my family,” says Louis-Dreyfus, again invoking the Santa Barbara team. He loves to find ways to make the comic book character, such as successfully lobbying to change the Condessa’s lock of white hair to purple. “I thought purple would make it a bit more out of this world today. And I didn’t want her to be too much like Cruella,” she says.

In another unexpected move, Louis-Dreyfus encourages his character to go more in the direction of action. He’s ready to kick ass. “I threw it; I’ve told them that i really want to fight. I haven’t seen the script yet, we’ll see if that happens,” she added. But she changes her tune when she thinks about the possible physical demands of a Marvel role: “Ugh. I guess I better get in shape,” she finished.
