In 2021, Julia Louis Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra de Fontaine hit the Marvel Cinematic scene, first showing within the franchise second Disney+ subscription-exclusive collection, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, after which cameoing in Black Widow, the twenty fourth of the Marvel films so as, a couple of months later. Then the character returned in late 2022 for Black Panther: Wakanda Ceaselessly, and she or he’ll lastly return subsequent Might for Thunderbolts*. So by now, Louis-Dreyfus is aware of her manner round dealing with Marvel spoilers, so possibly Tom Holland, Mark Ruffalo, two of the franchise’s most notoriously loose-lipped actors (amongst others), ought to take a observe from her on the matter.
Whereas discussing what to anticipate from Valentina Allegra de Fontaine within the upcoming Marvel film, which included sharing how we’ll see “her complete plan unfold” and describing the character as an “anti-villain,” Louis-Dreyfus knowledgeable EW that she hasn’t shared any Thunderbolts* spoilers with anybody, together with her two sons, who she described as “Marvel fanatics.” As she defined:
Individuals have been attempting to tug [spoilers] out of me, and I simply stay in worry that I will say one thing that I should not. I’ve by no means been concerned with a venture like this the place a lot is stored beneath wraps. It is like working for the CIA of present enterprise. I’m so terrified that I will fuck up unwittingly. However up to now I have never.
That is positively how somebody who’s engaged on a Marvel manufacturing ought to deal with spoilers: assume you may by chance say one thing, after which put in additional effort to be sure you don’t try this. Whereas Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland clearly don’t go round deliberate spoiling key Marvel plot factors left and proper, there have actually been instances when the Hulk and Spider-Man actors may have benefited from exercising the identical form of restraint Julia Louis-Dreyfus is speaking about. As simply two examples, Ruffalo spoiled the tip of Avengers: Infinity Conflict almost a yr forward of its launch, and Holland spoiled that very same film to a packed theater earlier than it’d even began enjoying.
Tom Holland as soon as claimed that Mark Ruffalo was worse about spoilers than he was, and admittedly, I’ll give him. In any case, together with the usual number of spoilers, Ruffalo additionally by chance live-streamed the start of Thor: Ragnarok throughout the world premiere. Regardless, Julia Louis-Dreyfus clearly has the artwork of Marvel secret-keeping right down to a superb artwork and science. Now she simply has to maintain her streak going for roughly half a yr till Thunderbolts* is launched… although that’s to not say that would be the final we see of her within the MCU.
Thunderbolts* hits theaters on Might 2, 2025, and Louis-Dreyfus’ costars embrace Sebastian Stan, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko and Lewis Pullman. Jake Schreier directed the characteristic, and Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo all labored on the script.
