About Thunderbolts*
Trapped in a deadly setup, seven weary misfits find themselves forced into a high risk mission where survival hinges on cooperation rather than individual heroics. Each member carries a shadow from the past, and the assignment becomes a pressure cooker that tests loyalties, accountability, and the lines they’re willing to cross. As the clock ticks and danger closes in, they must navigate shifting allegiances while old mistakes threaten to derail the plan. Secrets start to spill, and trust frays at the edges even as they improvise makeshift solutions. The group learns that teamwork in a crisis is as much about restraint as firepower, and redemption might demand a greater sacrifice than anyone anticipated, and the consequences echo beyond the mission.
Directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts 2025 adapts Marvel Comics' team of anti heroes into a tight pitched action adventure with a star making ensemble including Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lewis Pullman and David Harbour for a global rollout.
