Julia Louis-Dreyfus is ready to kick ass and take names in Marvel's upcoming Thunderbolts movie.
"I actually pitched it," Louis-Dreyfus told Variety. "I told them I really, really want to fight. We’ll see if that happens. I haven’t seen the script yet. Ugh. I’d better get in shape."
We saw Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Louis-Dreyfus) recruit the disgraced John Walker (Wyatt Russell) for an unknown project at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, before doing the same with Yelena (Florence Pugh) in the post-credits scene after Black Widow. The project was, in fact, the Thunderbolts.
"There’s so much secrecy around it," Louis-Dreyfus continued."When I first started shooting [Black Widow] I had to go set wearing a black cloak with a hood and keep my head down so nobody could see it was me walking onto the soundstage."
Added Louis-Dreyfus: "In the original comic she has sort of a white streak in her hair, but I thought purple would make it a little more of this world today. And I didn’t want her to look too much like Cruella, or anything like that."
