Julia Louis-Dreyfus had a “pretty dreamy” experience shooting the upcoming Marvel movie Thunderbolts*.

The Seinfeld actress revealed on this week’s Happy Sad Confused podcast that she wrapped shooting her part as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the movie last week.

“Loved it. I got to work with really cool people, who we already know are in the film. Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Lewis Pullman, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell. It was pretty dreamy,” she gushed.

However, the Veep star remained tight-lipped when host Josh Horowitz asked her to explain why there is an asterisk in the title.

Addressing her reluctance to speak about the project, Julia said, “If I say one more thing, someone from Marvel is gonna come out here and shoot me in the head. When you work with these people, you guys, you have to sign an NDA every three-and-a-half seconds… I fear I may have said too much already.”

Julia made her MCU debut in the Disney+ miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and has since popped up in 2021’s Black Widow and 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

She confirmed that she was shooting Thunderbolts* for “quite a while” because it is her most significant appearance as Val yet.

The comedian also divulged what drew her to the character in the first place, saying, “I like who she is, as a character, which is mysterious. Is she good, is she bad? It’s a little bit unclear. I like the idea of her maybe being a little bit of a puppet master. I liked that they were kind of just dropping her into different projects, just a little bit here, a little bit there.”

Thunderbolts* is due to be released in May 2025.
