David Harbour says he's already seen an early cut of new MCU movie Thunderbolts* - and his verdict sounds extremely promising.

"Marvel is excited by its expansion, to a certain degree. And also, I think they're doing a bit of a course correction around getting too big, in a way, with the Disney Plus stuff," the actor told CinemaBlend. "I'm very excited for you guys to see Thunderbolts*. Because I'm impressed with the direction they took that. And it's surprising. It's a real movie. I mean, whether you like it or not, who knows? But... I saw a cut of it, and it's very impressive."

The cast also includes Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, and the movie will see Harbour reunite with his Black Widow co-star Florence Pugh, who returns as Yelena Belova.

"They're paying attention to chemistry," he added. "And I think there's something about this group that's special. That to me felt like when you watch Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans. When you watch these chemistries of people that - not to say that there's romantic ties, but just the chemistry of human beings interrelated. I think that's what we need in these movies."

Before Thunderbolts*, though, is Captain America: Brave New World, which hits theaters this February. The movie will see Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson take on the mantle of Captain America - and go up against Harrison Ford's Red Hulk, a role he'll reprise in Thunderbolts*.
