In "Thunderbolts*," Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes -- Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it's too late?

Critics Consensus

Assembling a ragtag band of underdogs with Florence Pugh as their magnetic standout, Thunderbolts* refreshingly returns to the tried-and-true blueprint of the MCU's best adventures.

Examining grubby, battered, disappointed lives lived in the shadow of thunder gods and patriotic avengers is a fresh, engaging premise for the MCU, giving a kick to an end-credits reveal about the asterisk.

Pugh is so impressive that you don't at first notice how much else there is to admire in the film.

4.5/5

Thunderbolts* has revived the MCU’s well-worn formula with fresh energy. If the Avengers were the A-Team, this is the B-Team of rejects and losers, taking on the world one punch and shot at a time. Addictively entertaining, hilarious and heartwarming.

Thunderbolts* is a more human superhero story than we’ve seen in recent times from this franchise, and it’s all the better for it.
