Marvel’s Thunderbolts*
The fifth phase of the MCU may be over, but one of the phase’s biggest films has finally made its digital debut. Thunderbolts* is now streaming almost exactly two months after premiering in theaters. Here’s how to watch the action-packed Marvel film from home before it lands on Disney+.
Directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts assembles an unlikely team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker — who find themselves caught in a death trap set by the villainous triple agent Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Now, the dysfunctional group must embark on a mission that forces them to confront “the darkest corners” of their past, according to the official synopsis.
The star-studded cast includes Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, Wendell Pierce, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and more.
While Thunderbolts* had a disappointing run at the box office, those who watched the movie rated the Marvel action film highly. It holds an impressive 88% critics’ score (from 351 reviews) and a 93% audience score (from over 10,000 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Thunderbolts critics’ score is actually the highest of Marvel’s blockbuster releases in the past two years, surpassing Captain America: Brave New World (48%), Deadpool & Wolverine (78%), The Marvels (62%), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (82%) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (46%).

Thunderbolts* will eventually be streaming on Disney+. While the release date has not been announced, the film will likely arrive on the platform about three months after its theatrical debut – or sometime around August 2025.
The most comparable MCU film to Thunderbolts* is Captain America: Brave New World, which was released two months earlier. Both titles boasted similar box office numbers: Brave New World grossed $415 million worldwide, while Thunderbolts* made slightly less at $381 million. Brave New World became available on Disney+ on May 28, 2025, just over three months after its theatrical release.
Last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine landed on Disney+ on November 12, 2024, which was also more than three months after its premiere. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 both had 60-day exclusive theatrical windows and arrived on Disney+ exactly three months later.
