Jake Schreier, celebrated for his work on Netflix’s successful series “Beef,” is set to direct his first Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) production, “Thunderbolts,” slated for release in 2024. Prior to his MCU debut, Schreier joined other prolific filmmakers in a roundtable discussion on storytelling organised by The Hollywood Reporter.
The esteemed roundtable featured Mark Mylod (“Succession”), Paris Barclay (Netflix’s “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”), Liz Garbus (“Yellowjackets”), Peter Hoar (“The Last of Us”), Karyn Kusama (“Dead Ringers”), and Jake Schreier, and provided viewers with unique insights into their varied storytelling perspectives.
“Jon Watts, who directed the latest Spider-Man movies, and I were roommates in college, and I did second unit on the L.A. portion of the first one (“Spider-Man: Homecoming”). So, I know those guys a little bit and had talked to them about a few movies in the past. Where I’m at, it’s the experience of getting to work on something that large.”
While the prospect of directing a superhero movie for Marvel may seem exciting, it also requires navigating a challenging scale in terms of production and storytelling. For Schreier, however, it was the opportunity to work with the people at Marvel that ultimately convinced him to say yes.
“Obviously, it happened to be a very good idea for a film that I was drawn to. But the experience of getting to work on something at that scale and trying different things becomes attractive at some point. It’s less about ‘This is the narrative that I’m writing of my career,’ and more about what experiences I’d like to have. What would be interesting to work on? Who would I like to work with? That’s what did it.”
“Thunderbolts” follows a team of anti-heroes in the Marvel Universe as they combat evil in their own gritty and dark manner. With characters like Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine, Ghost, Red Guardian, Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier), US Agent, and Taskmaster, audiences can expect a thrilling experience with Schreier at the helm.
