“Even by the series’ own now well-established standards, this widely presumed last entry in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible franchise is an awe-inspiringly bananas piece of work.”  (Robbie Collin, The Telegraph)

“A tense, knotty opening act yields to some of Tom Cruise’s most impressive stunts yet, ending the film — and perhaps the series — on a high.”  (John Nugent, Empire)

“A thrilling jolt of pure summer fun.”  (Rafer Guzman, Newsday)

Opens Friday, June 6. 

In Thunderbolts, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes — Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) and John Walker (Wyatt Russell).  After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late?

Starring:  Florence Pugh: Sebastian Stan; Julia Louis-Dreyfus; Lewis Pullman; David Harbour; Wyatt Russell; Hannah John-Kamen; Olga Kurylenko; Geraldine Viswanathan; Wendell Pierce; Chris Bauer; Violet McGraw; Alexa Swinton; Eric Lange; Chiara Stella; Stefano Carannante; Gianfranco Terrin; Georgui Kasaev; Charlotte Ann Tucker; Gabrielle Byndloss; Regina Ting Chen; Mallory Hoff; Jennifer Chung; Julia Aku; Clayton Cooper; Joshua Mikel; Molly Carden; Harrison Russell; Robert Germar; Matt Einhorn; Kelvin Witherspoon; Anny Jules; Chad Gall; Danielle DeBrock; Phong Giang; Mackensi Emory; Alexander Roberts; Chris Heeder

“In many ways, Thunderbolts* feels like a breath of fresh air and a notable step forward for the MCU as a whole, which is pretty remarkable given that this is a cast of characters where the literal point is that they’re the scraps left over from past Marvel adventures — loose ends left adrift.”  (Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence)

Thunderbolts* isn’t an MCU game-changer, by any stretch, but it’s not aspiring to be either.  Is it a two-hour therapy session about self-compassion, being kind to ourselves, and giving ourselves a break from all the transgressions we have tortured ourselves about, wrapped up in a comic book movie?  Maybe, but it’s got a big heart, a strong emotional point of view, a good sense of humor when needed, and has something touching to say about forgiving ourselves enough to transform our pain into something that can do good, and that feels like a small but meaningful victory to me.”  (Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist

“By the end, even the clunky-looking asterisk in the film’s title makes sense.  Thunderbolts* doesn’t so much reinvent the wheel as remember what put the wheels on this bandwagon in the first place: an epic blend of thrills, spills and psychological ills.  It’s the most fun the MCU’s been in years.”  (Nick Levine, NME)

“The first Marvel film in ages to look, feel, and move like an actual feature film and not a slop bucket of CGI.”  (Barry Hertz, The Globe and Mail (Toronto))
