This film marks the inaugural gathering of a roster of Marvel anti-heroes, igniting enthusiasm among comic book aficionados. Here’s a comprehensive rundown of what to expect from this upcoming cinematic adventure:
Thunderbolts storms into UK cinemas on Friday, July 25, 2025. Initially slated for release on July 26, 2024, the date was postponed due to Hollywood strikes. Filming commenced in March 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia, signaling the start of this exciting project.

What is the plot of Thunderbolts?
Details about the plot of Thunderbolts remain scarce, but it centers around a group of antiheroes undertaking government missions. The film is anticipated to diverge from the typical Marvel movie formula, delving into fresh character dynamics and story elements.
In an interview with IGN back in August 2023, director Jake Schreier hinted at the film’s unique approach, stating, “I can’t say what it is, but I can say that there is something different… There’s a specificity of character that then makes the whole thing feel more universal because it comes from something so personal.” He further emphasized Thunderbolts as a fresh narrative with characters that audiences may have encountered briefly in the MCU, yet offering a novel perspective on their identities and motivations.
Wyatt Russell echoed this sentiment in a conversation with Yahoo Entertainment in November 2023, remarking, “It’s not a straightforward Marvel movie as you’ve seen in the past… I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun but I think it will be something that hopefully Marvel fans will look at and go, ‘Oh OK, this is a little different, let’s go hard at it’.”
Is there a trailer for Thunderbolts?
While no trailer has been unveiled thus far, fans received their initial glimpse of the lineup through a promotional image released in June 2022.
Thunderbolts pledges to offer a refreshing perspective within the MCU, assembling beloved characters in unforeseen alliances.
As the release date draws nearer, fans can anticipate further updates on the horizon.
