‘Thunderbolts*’
Is the MCU so back? Your mileage may vary, but one thing is certain no matter what: I had a great time watching Thunderbolts*. The Marvel movie, which hit theaters in May, is now available to stream on Disney+. In it, some of the MCU’s most notable misfits, including Florence Pugh as de facto team leader Yelena Belova, are lured into a death trap and forced to work together with mysterious stranger Bob (Lewis Pullman) to attempt an escape, but an even more dangerous mission awaits them once they’re free. The complicated group, which also includes MCU mainstay Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, are forced to confront and overcome the darkest parts of their pasts if they have any hope of moving forward. One of the MCU’s newest teams, the Thunderbolts are messy, chaotic, and a mix of incredibly strong personalities — it’s one of the elements that makes Thunderbolts* so much fun to watch.
