Thunderbolts Cast Compete In Cast Trivia
Thunderbolts* follows Yelena, who suddenly finds herself stuck in a rut and feeling alone and isolated after working for Valentina Allegra de Fontaine for several years. When she ends up fighting alongside Bucky Barnes, John Walker, Ava Starr, Alexei, and a mysterious new guy named Bob, Yelena suddenly finds herself on an unlikely team of heroes.
So, to celebrate this new entry into the MCU, BuzzFeed had the cast — Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lewis Pullman, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, and Geraldine Viswanathan — compete in a game of Cast Wars, aka a trivia game all about each other.
And literally nothing about each other was off limits. Like, we started with the cast guessing what Meryl Streep told Florence she desperately wanted while filming a scene for Little Women.
The cast had to guess who David's biggest celebrity crush was, and spoiler, he got to work with her every single day on the set of Stranger Things. *cough* Winona Ryder *cough*
And we tested their knowledge on one of Julia Louis-Dreyfus's iconic Veep quotes about a croissant because, let's be honest, we all need more Selina Meyer in our lives.
And they even learned new things about each other, like the fact that Sebastian starred in Gossip Girl or that Geraldine was gifted a purse by Taylor Swift.
Basically, they are my new favorite cast, and I cannot wait to go watch Thunderbolts* again.

Open Channel: What'd You Think ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps'?
Nearly five full years after Marvel Studios first planted its flag and announced it was coming, the Fantastic Four finally made their MCU debut this weekend. Given the last tries at bringing these heroes to the big screen, and how Marvel treated those characters back when it didn't own them, it seemed there wasn't really anywhere for the Four to go but up. But things have changed in the past five years, and now there's more pressure than ever for them to stick the landing, particularly since this is our first Phase Six movie and a key building block of the soon-to-end Multiverse Saga. Early reactions to the film were pretty glowing, with plenty of praise heaped onto the cast, director Matt Shakman, and the film's retrofuturist look. That praise has cooled off just a little in more official reviews, but the general vibe is still fairly high for the movie, which is just as well since we're going to be getting more of these characters in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, and the larger MCU down the line. As with previous major superhero movies, we want to know what you, the audience, thought of First Steps now that you've seen it. Was it the Fantastic Four movie of your dreams, was Galactus better here than as a cloud, how good was Sue—share your opinions down in the comments below. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

Marvel's 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' opens to $118 million domestically
What superhero fatigue? Twice in one month, a comic book film has rocketed to the top of the box office, debuting with more than $100 million in ticket sales. Two weeks ago, it was "Superman," the first theatrical release from James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-heads of DC Studios at Warner Bros. Discovery. This weekend, Disney and Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" fueled an estimated $118 million in ticket sales during its first three days in theaters. "The lesson is that if you build great movies, audiences will head to the multiplex," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. Internationally, "Fantastic Four: First Steps" snared an estimated $100 million, bringing its global weekend haul to $218 million. "Marvel bet big releasing their long-awaited introduction of the Fantastic Four as the last MCU film to hit theaters for at least another year, and it's paying off," said Shawn Robbins, director of analytics at Fandango and founder of Box Office Theory. "The franchise has had its share of hiccups in recent years, but Marvel's First Family is winning over fans and spurring the kind of enthusiasm that could bring back casual viewers who sat out some post-'Endgame' chapters." Marvel has struggled in the wake of the record-breaking "Avengers: Endgame," the culmination of more than a decade of interconnected storytelling. While films like "Deadpool & Wolverine" and "Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3" enticed moviegoers to theaters, others like "Captain America: Brave New World," "The Marvels" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" failed to drum up the same enthusiasm. Box office hauls haven't been the only hit-or-miss for the studio. Marvel films have experienced significant fluctuations since the release of 2019's "Endgame." Previously, no MCU film had a Rotten Tomatoes score below 67%, meaning each had earned the title of "Fresh," indicating that critics had a generally positive view of the film. Since then, five films from the franchise have been below that metric and three of those were considered "Rotten," earning less than 50% positive reviews. This year, "Captain America: Brave New World" tallied $413 million globally and earned a 48% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But "Thunderbolts*" generated just $382 million globally — one of only five titles under the Marvel Cinematic Universe banner to tally less than $400 million worldwide — it secured an 88% "Fresh" rating. Its newest theatrical entry, "Fantastic Four: First Steps," also has an 88% "Fresh" rating from the site. "For Disney, this has truly been a magical summer and for Marvel a reaffirmation that their strategy to revamp the brand is certainly working," Dergarabedian said. "With 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' following in the footsteps of 'Thunderbolts*' Marvel is showing that a focus on quality rather than quantity is a recipe for success."
