Wyatt, the son of Hollywood legends Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, will join Marvel’s Thunderbolts which will follow Florence's Yelena Belova, first seen in Black Widow and most recently Hawkeye, and Sebastian and Wyytt's Bucky Barnes and John Walker who were last seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

The film was announced on Saturday at D23 and Stranger Things' David Harbour was also confirmed, reprising his own Black Widow role as Alexei aka Red Guardian, and AntMan's Hannah John-Kamen.

Thunderbolts had previously been teased during the mid-credits scenes for Disney+'s Black Widow and Falcon, when Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (played by Julia Louis Dreyfuss) was first seen telling Yelena that her sister Natasha Romanoff’s “killer” was Clint Barton, and later appearing on the hunt for John.

Jake Schreier will direct Thunderbolts; the script has been written by Black Widow scribe Eric Pearson and production will begin early 2023 for a summer release.

Goldie has been dating long-term partner and fellow actor Kurt since 1983. The couple share son Wyatt, and Goldie is also mother to Oliver Hudson and Kate Hudson.

"My beautiful mama changing the world. Yes she’s an iconic actor but the work she’s done for the last 20 years to shine a light on what’s happening to these kids who feel like there’s no way out is her true legacy. Love you Ma! @mindup @goldiehawn," he shared alongside a video of Goldie speaking on behalf of her non-profit, MindUp, which focuses on providing mental health help for children.

Goldie responded and commented: "Oh my son. I love you so much! What a gift you are."
