Julia Louis-Dreyfus says role in ‘Thunderbolts’ is shrouded in ‘secrecy’

• In “Thunderbolts,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus claims that her role is veiled in “secrecy.”
• She will play Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the forthcoming MCU blockbuster.
• She revealed that she lobbied for Valentine to have a purple streak in her hair in the movie.

The 62-year-old actress, who will play Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the forthcoming MCU blockbuster, claimed that production executives went to great efforts to conceal her identity while she was filming.

Julia told Variety: “There’s so much secrecy around it. When I first started shooting, I had to go to set wearing a black cloak with a hood and keep my head down so nobody could see it was me walking into the soundstage.”

The ‘Veep’ star revealed that she lobbied for Valentine to have a purple streak in her hair in the movie, which is slated for release in July 2024.

Julia explained: “I did this to see if I can get some respect from these people in my family.

“I thought purple would make it a little more of this world today. And I didn’t want her to look too much like Cruella.”

Louis-Dreyfus has also demanded that her character gets the chance to “kick some ass” in the film.

She said: “I pitched it; I told them I really want to fight. I haven’t seen the script yet – we’ll see if that happens.”

However, Julia admits that the physical demands of a Marvel part are off-putting.

She said: “Ugh. I guess I’d better get in shape.”

Since she didn’t want to be pushed into the big screen after appearing in “Seinfeld” and having children Henry, 30, and Charlie, 25, with her husband Brad Hall, Julia is pleased to have the opportunity to be a movie star at this point in her career.
