The critically lauded superhero flick Thunderbolts* has landed on home entertainment platforms, offering fans a fresh opportunity to delve into the MCU.
Despite its high praise, the Marvel Studios production didn’t make a significant impact at the box office, grossing a modest $382 million (£278m) against its $180 million (£131m) budget.
Nonetheless, it stands as one of the most positively received entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) recently, with many advocates urging for its reappraisal.
Thunderbolts*, featuring an ensemble cast including Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Sebastian Stan, is now up for grabs on digital platforms such as Prime Video, Apple TV, and Sky Store.
This electrifying adventure brings together an unlikely coalition of Marvel’s mercenaries and anti-heroes, who band together to confront an ominous new adversary, reports the Mirror US.
For those who missed the theatrical release, die-hard Marvel aficionados recommend giving Thunderbolts* a go – it’s tipped to be a thrilling watch.
The mysterious asterisk in the title teases a pivotal twist set to reshape the MCU landscape.
A Reddit user exclaimed: “Thunderbolts was A LOT better than expected.
“I recently watched it and all the characters had their moment to shine, fight scenes were awesome, Sentry (played by Lewis Pullman) was handled way better than I imagined, and the post credits was pure hype.
“Maybe I’m still too excited but it’s now part of my Top 5 MCU movies.”
Another fan exclaimed on X (formerly Twitter): “Thunderbolts* deserved better. A direct response to the criticisms of the MCU and a breath of fresh air.”
A third enthusiast penned: “#Thunderbolts* blew me away. It’s clever, funny and full of heart.
“The script is a masterclass in self awareness, but doesn’t sacrifice story to achieve that. Every character is expertly written and performed.
“The movie is lightning in a bottle, and exactly what the #MCU needs right now.”
A fourth expressed disappointment: “Thunderbolts deserves so much better noooo. I know there’s a lot of competition going on with Stitch, MI8 and Final destination but they should have at least let it stay for at least 2 months.
“It’s a shame because it’s one of the best MCU movies we’ve gotten in awhile. So sadd.”
And a final admirer posted: “The Thunderbolts was a masterpiece!
“It was an authentic Marvel movie! It deserves so much better than these numbers!”
