Thunderbolts* brings together a team of MCU antiheroes and reluctant allies, played by Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell and others. The “multiple Oscar nominees” claim needs a qualification: the Academy record cited here confirms one cast member’s acting nomination—Sebastian Stan, for The Apprentice, not Thunderbolts*.
Who is in the cast of Thunderbolts*?
Marvel Studios’ film is directed by Jake Schreier. The official cast listing names the following actors; Marvel’s official Japan film page identifies the principal actor-character pairings.

Which Thunderbolts* cast member is an Oscar nominee?
Sebastian Stan was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for The Apprentice. The Academy’s 97th Academy Awards nominee record lists Stan in the leading-actor category for that film. The ceremony took place on March 2, 2025, honoring films released in 2024.
#1 Best Overall
- After being ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes assembles and embarks on a dangerous mission. Forced to confront the darkest corners of their pasts, will the group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and prevail?
That nomination is for The Apprentice, not Thunderbolts*. The official Academy record cited here verifies Stan’s nomination; it does not establish that multiple members of the film’s cast are Oscar nominees. So the plural claim in the original headline should not be treated as confirmed on this evidence.
