About Thunderbolts* Movie:
Thunderbolts* is an American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics team Thunderbolts. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The film is directed by Jake Schreier and written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo. It stars an ensemble cast featuring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, Wendell Edward Pierce, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Marvel Studios began teasing the formation of a Thunderbolts team within the MCU in 2021. The film was revealed to be in development in June 2022, when Schreier and Pearson were attached. The film’s main cast members were revealed that September, followed by additional casting through early 2023. Lee joined to rewrite the film’s script by March 2023, one of several creatives who returned to work with Schreier from the Netflix series Beef (2023).
Production was delayed due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, causing some actors to leave the project and be replaced in early 2024, when Calo joined.
Principal photography began by February 26, 2024,[68] at Trilith Studios and Atlanta Metro Studios in Atlanta,[69][70] under the working title Oops All Berries, which is a reference to a variation of the cereal Cap’n Crunch that only featured the berry-flavored pieces.
In March, Pugh revealed a new logo for the film which styled the title as “Thunderbolts“. Several commentators questioned why there was an asterisk in the logo. The next month, Feige confirmed that Thunderbolts was the official title and said the use of the asterisk would be explained following the film’s release, which was adjusted to May 5, 2025, though this was eventually moved back to May 2, 2025. This led to continued speculation as to the purpose of the asterisk in the title.
Filming occurred in Emery County and Grand County, Utah, from May 29 to June 12, 2024, and was also expected to occur in New York. Louis-Dreyfus, who finished filming her scenes by early June, believed Marvel Studios was trying to “go back to their roots” with the film, focusing on “the human story” with multiple stunt sequences and avoiding CGI when possible. Filming concluded in mid-June, with Harbour wrapping his scenes at the end of the month.
Thunderbolts* Release Date:
Thunderbolts* is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 2, 2025, in IMAX. It was previously scheduled for July 26, 2024, December 20, 2024, July 25, 2025, and May 5, 2025. It will be the final film of Phase Five of the MCU.
