Plot: Marvel’s Anti-Heroes Assemble
In “Thunderbolts,” the reformed villains are assigned to carry out covert operations on behalf of the U.S. government.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina, the director of the CIA and the team’s handler, offers a cynical view on morality, saying, “We’re brought up with this belief that there are good guys, and there are bad guys. But, eventually, you come to realize that there are bad guys, and there are worse guys. And nothing else.”
