Marvel’s latest film Thunderbolts* is being hailed by many critics and fans as a “return to form” for the once-prolific hit-making studio.

If you’re waiting for the film’s Disney+ debut to check it out, we think we know roughly when the film might debut on the streamer.

The film, which features characters from previous Marvel films including including Yelena “Black Widow” Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker who find “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” has received a mostly positive reaction from both fans and critics since it’s May 2nd release.

Currently, the Jake Schreier-directed film – – which stars Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer and Wendell Edward Pierce – – features an 88% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with a general critical consensus reading “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.”

While we don’t exactly when Thunderbolts* will debut on Disney+, we can look at other recent Marvel projects to get an idea.

2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine was released in theaters on July 22nd (going on to become the second most successful film of the year at the box office), and was added to the streaming service on November 12th, a roughly 3.5-month window.

Captain America: Brave New World will make its Disney+ debut on May 28th, roughly 3.5 months after its February 14th theatrical premiere.

Given these timelines, it’s safe to assume that Thunderbolts* will premiere on the service 3.5 months after it appeared in theaters, which is roughly mid-August.

Honestly, our bigger question is this: Is the film called Thunderbolts* on Disney+, or does it go by it’s post-credits reveal name:
