The MCU movies just keep coming, this time with Thunderbolts, the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the first MCU film in a minute that critics are saying is actually kinda good.

Directed by Jake Schreier, with a screenplay written by Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo, Thunderbolts is basically the Suicide Squad of the MCU. Florence Pugh stars as Yelena Belova, aka the adopted sister of Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow. Yelena, a black widow assassin herself, was first introduced in 2021’s Black Widow movie. Now she’s charged with leading a team of antiheroes—Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and Red Guardian (David Harbour)—on a dangerous mission that could redeem their less-than-favorable reputations.

Also starring Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Thunderbolts will be the last of the “Phase Five” Marvel films. Next up, Phase Six, with the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. If you’re planning to come along for that ride, you probably want to see the Thunderbolts movie. Here’s what to know about where to watch the Thunderbolts movie online, and when we expect the Thunderbolts streaming release date on Disney+.

Right now, the only place to watch Thunderbolts is in a movie theater, when the movie opens in theaters on Friday, May 2. You can find a showing at a movie theater near you via Fandango.

Thunderbolts is not streaming on Netflix, and most likely will never be streaming on Netflix. This is due to the fact that Thunderbolts is a Marvel movie. Marvel is owned by Disney, and Disney movies have a streaming home on the Disney-owned streamer, Disney+.

Thunderbolts is not yet streaming on Disney+. Right now, the movie is only playing in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Thunderbolts streaming on Disney+ eventually. While a Thunderbolts Disney+ release date has not yet been announced, we can make an educated guess as to when the movie will be streaming based on previous Disney releases.

Another recent Disney Marvel movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, was released on premium video-on-demand about two months after opening in theaters, and began streaming on Disney+ about three-and-a-half months after opening in theaters. If Thunderbolts follows a similar release strategy, you may see the Thunderbolts movie on digital platforms around early July 2025, and streaming on Disney+ around late August 2025.

But this is all speculation. If you want to see Thunderbolts ASAP, you can catch the movie in theaters.
