The superhero film Thunderbolts, which hit cinemas on 2 May, has now surprised fans by quietly arriving on OTT streaming platforms just two months after its release. Directed by Jake Schreier, this Marvel film stars Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, David Harbour, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus in key roles.
Though it was originally titled Thunderbolts, producers gave fans a surprise just before its release by renaming it New Avengers. With a production budget of around $180 million, the film earned nearly $400 million worldwide, making it one of the top ten highest-grossing Hollywood films of the year.
The story takes place in a world without the Avengers. Valentina forms a new team called the Thunderbolts, bringing together Yelena, Walker, Ghost, and others to take on a new dark threat. The villain, Bob, has the power to turn people into shadows and aims to take over America. The team must come together to stop him, leading to a series of action-packed and visually striking scenes.
Interestingly, many of the characters were seen in past Marvel films as villains or side characters, but in Thunderbolts, they are turned into heroes. The movie also stands out for its impressive visuals and thrilling action.
Currently, Thunderbolts is available for rent on Amazon Prime Video in the United States. It is expected to be available in India within a week. For those eager to watch it sooner, the film is being shared unofficially on free websites, though viewers are advised to wait for the legal release.
This unexpected digital release has caught many fans off guard, adding to the buzz around this Marvel project.
