Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, conniving director of the CIA, sets a deadly trap for Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Alexei Shostakov aka Red Guardian, Ava Starr aka Ghost, Antonia Dreykov aka Taskmaster and super soldier John Walker. Individually, these misfits don’t stand a chance against the might of the political establishment and the criminal underworld. However, the tentatively christened Thunderbolts can stand tall as a single unit as they embark on a daredevil mission to confront the past.
