Geraldine Viswanathan Joins Marvel In ‘Thunderbolts’

LOS ANGELES, CA (IANS) – Actress Geraldine Viswanathan has joined the cast of ‘Thunderbolts’, replacing Ayo Edebiri in an undisclosed role after the Emmy-winning ‘The Bear’ star dropped out of the project due to scheduling.

Geraldine Viswanathan joins an ensemble cast of actors playing some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s best-known anti-heroes, including Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Florence Pugh, David Harbor, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, Olga Kurylenko and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, reports ‘Variety’.

Although specific plot details remain top secret, the movie will effectively serve as Marvel’s version of DC’s anti-hero team the ‘Suicide Squad’, with the characters brought together to do the dirty jobs the Avengers can’t do.

Since Geraldine Viswanathan’s career launched in the 2018 teen-comedy ‘Blockers’, she’s appeared opposite Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney in ‘Bad Education’, opposite Dacre Montgomery in the 2020 romcom ‘The Broken Hearts Gallery’ and opposite Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks, and Sarah Snook in ‘The Beanie Bubble’.

She also starred in the comedy anthology series ‘Miracle Workers’ with Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi and Karan Soni.
