The article analyzes the final trailer for Marvel's Thunderbolts, focusing heavily on the potential redemption arc teased for Yelena Belova. While the trailer showcases the full team – including Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Taskmaster, Ghost, and US Agent – assembled by the manipulative Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Yelena is positioned almost as the reluctant protagonist or moral center.

Nerdist interprets the trailer's focus on Yelena's skepticism and apparent desire for genuine purpose as setting her up for a journey towards becoming a true hero, possibly in defiance of Val's intentions. The article notes her dynamic with Bucky Barnes, who also seems to be searching for his place post-Winter Soldier.

The piece emphasizes that the trailer portrays the Thunderbolts not as a polished superhero team like the Avengers, but as a dysfunctional, messy group of anti-heroes and former antagonists forced to work together. Val is clearly pulling the strings for her own agenda.

Ultimately, the article concludes that the trailer strongly suggests Yelena's internal conflict and potential push towards heroism will be a central theme of the movie, framing her story as a key redemption narrative within this team of flawed individuals.
