Ahead of its release, Marvel's "Thunderbolts*" has dropped a new piece of viral marketing: a hilarious faux commercial. The short film centers on David Harbour's Red Guardian, revealing that he has recently launched a limousine service company and filmed a TV spot to promote his new venture. At the end of the clip, Marvel even provides a real, working phone number for the service, allowing fans to call and hear a pre-recorded interactive message from the Red Guardian himself.
