Get ready to cozy up for movie night because Thunderbolts, one of the top Marvel films of the year, is heading to Disney+! Set your calendars for August 27 to enjoy this blockbuster from the comfort of your home.
Marvel announced today that Thunderbolts will premiere on the streaming platform—a move many are eagerly anticipating. With an impressive 88 percent Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, this film has revived the excitement for superhero tales, dispelling notions of genre fatigue. Following the mixed reception of Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts seems to signal that Marvel is back on top of its game, especially with bigger titles like The Fantastic Four: First Steps and DC’s upcoming Superman on the horizon.
The film brings together a unique mix of characters from various Marvel projects, including Black Widow, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and The Falcon and Winter Soldier. Icons like Yelena Belova (played by Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), and Red Guardian (David Harbour) transition from being perceived as collateral damage to becoming humanity’s last hope against the arrival of Sentry/the Void, also known as Bob (Lewis Pullman). Unlike other MCU installments, which often rely on grandiose spectacle, Thunderbolts dives deep into a more personal narrative, addressing the mental health struggles and imposter syndrome faced by its heroes striving to become genuine protectors.
In a recent review from io9, they remarked on the film’s achievements after saying, “When Marvel brings characters from multiple projects together on the big screen, it has an earned reputation and expectation to deliver massive spectacle. Thunderbolts isn’t that. It’s a film that has action, excitement, and one of the best end credit scenes in recent years, all while never losing its smaller, indie soul.” This commitment to character development and storytelling allows the film to resonate deeply with viewers.
Thunderbolts arrives on Disney+ on August 27, and you won’t want to miss it.
