‘Thunderbolts*' Is Now Streaming—How To Watch Marvel's Latest Blockbuster At Home
The fifth phase of the MCU may be over, but one of the phase's biggest films has finally made its digital debut. Thunderbolts* is now streaming almost exactly two months after premiering in theaters. Here's how to watch the action-packed Marvel film from home before it lands on Disney+.
Directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts assembles an unlikely team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker — who find themselves caught in a death trap set by the villainous triple agent Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Now, the dysfunctional group must embark on a mission that forces them to confront 'the darkest corners' of their past, according to the official synopsis.
The star-studded cast includes Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Chris Bauer, Wendell Pierce, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and more.
While Thunderbolts* had a disappointing run at the box office, those who watched the movie rated the Marvel action film highly. It holds an impressive 88% critics' score (from 351 reviews) and a 93% audience score (from over 10,000 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Thunderbolts critics' score is actually the highest of Marvel's blockbuster releases in the past two years, surpassing Captain America: Brave New World (48%), Deadpool & Wolverine (78%), The Marvels (62%), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (82%) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (46%).

Thunderbolts* will eventually be streaming on Disney+. While the release date has not been announced, the film will likely arrive on the platform about three months after its theatrical debut – or sometime around August 2025.
The most comparable MCU film to Thunderbolts* is Captain America: Brave New World, which was released two months earlier. Both titles boasted similar box office numbers: Brave New World grossed $415 million worldwide, while Thunderbolts* made slightly less at $381 million. Brave New World became available on Disney+ on May 28, 2025, just over three months after its theatrical release.
Last year's Deadpool & Wolverine landed on Disney+ on November 12, 2024, which was also more than three months after its premiere. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 both had 60-day exclusive theatrical windows and arrived on Disney+ exactly three months later.
Stay tuned to discover when Thunderbolts* will make its streaming debut on Disney+. Watch the official trailer below.

AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ‘25-30 minutes' of ads and trailers
AMC Theatres is making it easier for moviegoers to know the actual start time of their film screening and avoid sitting through lengthy ads. A new notice has started appearing when people purchase tickets via the AMC website, warning that 'movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime.' This already mirrors the estimated runtime of AMC's preshow content, which includes ads and trailers, but now customers will be better informed if they want to arrive a little later without missing the start of their movie. This small change also tracks with a report made by The Hollywood Reporter last week that said AMC will soon start 'addressing the preshow on its ticketing platforms.' Starting today, AMC will also show more ads than before, meaning its preshow lineup may have to be reconfigured to avoid exceeding the 30-minute mark. The company made an agreement with the National CineMedia ad network that includes as much as five minutes of commercials shown 'after a movie's official start time,' according to The Hollywood Reporter, and an additional 30-to-60-second 'Platinum Spot' that plays before the last one or two trailers. AMC was the only major theater chain to reject the National CineMedia ad spot when it was pitched in 2019, telling Bloomberg at the time that it believed 'US moviegoers would react quite negatively.' Now struggling financially amid an overall decline in movie theater attendance and box-office grosses, AMC has reversed course, telling The Hollywood Reporter that its competitors 'have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance.'

David R. Slavitt, Poet and Critic With a Side Gig in Pulp Fiction, Dies at 90
One day in 1966, not long after he wrote a scathingly funny review of Anya Seton's novel 'Avalon' in The New York Herald Tribune, David R. Slavitt arrived for lunch in Manhattan with the publisher Bernard Geis. Mr. Slavitt was an up-and-coming poet and novelist with a preference for the classics. Mr. Geis specialized in the opposite: He had just hit it big with 'Valley of the Dolls,' a salacious novel of sex and secrets by Jacqueline Susann. Having thrilled at Mr. Slavitt's work tearing down 'Avalon,' Mr. Geis asked him to write his own 'Valley of the Dolls.' Mr. Slavitt protested. He said he had a 'serious' novel, 'Rochelle, or, Virtue Rewarded,' coming out later that year, and didn't want to undermine it with something much lighter. Plus, he said, he was a highbrow author and translator of classical poetry, not a paperback hack. But the chance to try a new genre was too tempting. He hit on a solution: writing under a pseudonym, Henry Sutton. The result, 'The Exhibitionist,' about an actress and her rich father, appeared in 1967. Tame by today's standards, it was decried as near pornography. And it sold four million copies. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

NBC's Savannah Guthrie shrugs off bias accusations against journalists in conversation with Monica Lewinsky
NBC "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie addressed questions of media bias in a new podcast interview with Monica Lewinsky, dismissing the criticism as mainly in the "eye of the beholder." Lewinsky, who hosts the weekly podcast "Reclaiming" and is friends with the longtime morning show host, praised Guthrie for doing her job with integrity and wondered how she works to keep her personal and political views to herself. "It's interesting in our world now that there will be people, probably people listening right now, who might say 'Oh well she isn't dispassionate at all,'" Guthrie said. "You know, bias is really in the eye of the beholder. All I can tell you is what I try to do, which is to be straightforward, to be accurate, to be fair, to be precise. We used to say it's 'down the middle,' but it's not really, it's more nuanced than that." "There is no 'down the middle,'" Lewinsky said. "It's not down the middle," Guthrie said. "It's not like you do a story, and you say, 'Some say the sun came up this morning, others say it didn't.' That would be wrong, that would be factually incorrect." Guthrie joked it was "adorable" how there used to be normal policy disagreements in politics, but now things had become "so personal." While Guthrie and Lewinsky didn't specifically discuss accusations of liberal bias against the industry, her rhetoric about not simply covering both sides evenly all the time was reminiscent of recent arguments from other mainstream journalists. In 2021, Guthrie's NBC colleague Lester Holt was praised in liberal media circles for saying, "I think it's become clear that fairness is overrated ... the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in." His remarks were widely interpreted as not giving equal shrift to conservatives and Trump supporters for the sake of fairness. Outside the media, Guthrie also questioned whether there is an inherent bias from news viewers who may be looking for their beliefs to be confirmed by those reporting the news. "What I would just challenge people to think about when they are analyzing — whether you're again, consider yourself of the left or the right or whatever you are — is when you're identifying bias in the people that you are receiving your news from, just to ponder and ask yourself whether it is your bias that is determining that the person you're receiving the news from is biased," she proposed. Guthrie continued, saying that the bias some viewers claim to see may actually be their own and that everyone is now a "couch media critic." "Maybe the bias that you're feeling is that you wish that you were watching someone who agreed with your view of the world and that's okay," she contended. "But you're hearing something different, and you know … we live in a time, where everyone's kind of a couch media critic and I think there's good things about that because it challenges everyone to be better — and then there's some parts about it that just really aren't on the level, and it's not an honest critique," Guthrie added.
