Marvel Unveils Thunderbolts Trailer Featuring Iconic Malaysian Landmark

In a thrilling new trailer for Marvel's upcoming film Thunderbolts, fans have caught a glimpse of a stunning scene set in Malaysia. At the one-minute and four-second mark, the trailer showcases Florence Pugh's character, Yelena Belova, standing in front of the famous Lebuh Ampang in Kuala Lumpur, with the former Menara HSBC South Tower spectacularly imploding in the backdrop. To the right of Yelena, the sign for 'Kedai Kopi Kong Hoe' is clearly visible, capturing a slice of Malaysian culture.

This isn't the first time the production raised eyebrows with its Malaysian shoot. There were earlier reports of Pugh filming scenes in Malaysia, building anticipation for the film. Adding fuel to the fire, Pugh's sister, Arabella Gibbins, shared an Instagram post near the iconic Petronas Towers while tagging the actress, hinting at their time in the vibrant city.

Further confirming the location's role, Pugh addressed her filming experience in an interview with Variety on July 28. When questioned about the most significant stunt in Thunderbolts, Pugh excitedly revealed, “Jumping off the second tallest building in the world,” referring to Merdeka 118, which stands at an impressive 678.9 meters in height.

The Thunderbolts movie promises to expand on Marvel's rich tapestry of stories, following the events of previous entries like 2021’s Black Widow and the Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. The narrative centers on a team of mercenaries embarking on a mission that quickly unravels into something much deeper and more complex.

Moreover, speculation abounds surrounding the film, particularly concerning the mysterious asterisk in its title. Some fans theorize that 'Thunderbolts' may serve as a working title, sparking curiosity and debate among the community.

As the release date approaches, excitement for Thunderbolts continues to build, especially for those eager to see Korea's enchanting landscapes featured in a major Hollywood production.
