Thunderbolts: Phase Five finale streams on Disney Plus

Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts, the MCU's Phase Five finale starring Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan, began streaming on Disney Plus on Aug. 27, nearly four months after opening in theaters. The PG‑13 superhero ensemble, directed by Jake Schreier, follows a ragtag group of antiheroes forced together by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine and sent on a mission that forces them to confront violent pasts and personal demons.

The film opened in U.S. cinemas on May 2 and was made available for digital purchase on July 1 before its arrival on Disney Plus. The ensemble cast includes Pugh as Yelena Belova, Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as the Red Guardian, Hannah John‑Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Lewis Pullman as Robert "Bob" Reynolds the Sentry, and Julia Louis‑Dreyfus as Valentina. Plot elements center on the discovery of an amnesiac man in a bunker whose origin ties back to a serum similar to Captain America’s, creating the superpowered and psychologically fragmented figure known as the Sentry and his darker counterpart, the Void.

Critics and viewers have generally responded positively. Rotten Tomatoes lists the film as Certified Fresh...
