‘Thunderbolts’ Disney+ Release Date, How to Watch

Nearly four months after hitting theaters, Thunderbolts* is coming to Disney+.

In Thunderbolts*, five of the MCU’s misfits — both heroes and villains — find themselves stuck in a death trap designed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. After working together to escape, they’re forced into a dangerous mission that’ll require them all to confront the darkest parts of their pasts if there’s any hope of finding a way forward.

In her review of the film, DECIDER Senior Critic Meghan O’Keefe, wrote, “Thunderbolts* is ultimately a win for the MCU because it remembers that the characters come first before the lore.

“Florence Pugh’s magnetic presence is the energy that pulls this ragtag team together and yanks you in. Sebastian Stan’s Bucky finally takes his place as a real leader among the MCU’s massive cast of characters and Wyatt Russell brings depth and pathos to his dirtbag copycat Cap. David Harbour is in pure hilarious, bananas, embarrassing dad mode and Geradline Viswanathan is back on her scene-stealing bullshit.”

How to Watch Thunderbolts on Disney+:

You’ll need a Disney+ subscription to watch Thunderbolts.

There are also Disney+ bundles with Hulu, Max, and ESPN+, so you can subscribe to up to three services at once and save over 40% every month. The bundles are available in a few different configurations, starting at $10.99/month for Disney+ and Hulu with ads, and going up to $29.99/month for Disney+, Hulu, and Max ad-free.

Does Thunderbolts Have A Post-Credit Scene?

Yes, Thunderbolts* has two post-credit scenes, so don’t close out the Disney+ app early! One is mid-credits and another comes after the credits have finished.

The first of the two scenes is more of a funny inclusion, while the second has major implications for the MCU moving forward.
