Thunderbolts*

Rent & Buy
After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, seven disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.
What critics thought
Thunderbolts* lands as a genuine MCU course-correction — character-driven, emotionally grounded, and anchored by Florence Pugh's widely praised lead performance. Critics broadly warmed to its focus on mental health and its ragtag ensemble, though a dissenting strand found it relentlessly dour and narratively convoluted rather than the fresh start it promises.
“All the assembled parts here, including an especially high-quality cast (even Wendell Pierce!) work together seamlessly in a way that Marvel hasn't in some time. Most of all, Pugh commands every bit of the movie.”
Jake Coyle·Associated Press
“a decently effective blend of misfit mercenaries and pop psychology”
Bob Mondello·NPR
“It's just dollop upon dollop of dourness, all the way to an end-credits scene that has the nerve to tease brighter, less narratively convoluted times ahead. Talk about creating a market.”
