Thunderbolts* arrives in theaters on Thursday, and the social media reactions thus far have been overwhelmingly positive (TV spots are already hailing it as the best MCU movie since Avengers: Endgame).\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, it’s\u00a0become all too commonplace for those adjective-filled X posts not to match the eventual reviews, so how is Thunderbolts* faring on Rotten Tomatoes now that the first reviews have been counted?<\/p>\n

As we write this, Thunderbolts* has a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 67 reviews.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In terms of how this compares to other MCU movies, Thunderbolts* currently resides in the same ballpark as Captain America: Civil War (90%), Spider-Man: Far From Home (91%), and Guardians of the Galaxy (92%).<\/p>\n

It’s been a rocky few years for Marvel Studios on Rotten Tomatoes. An MCU movie receiving a “Certified Fresh” rating was once a given, but the Multiverse Saga has delivered three\u00a0“Rotten” titles: Eternals, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, and Captain America: Brave New World.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the review aggregator’s popularity has waned among movie fans in recent years, it’s still an important tool for studios, and a dreaded green splat can play a huge role in tanking a new release during its opening weekend. However, as we’ve recently seen with Sinners, critical acclaim can still help a movie achieve great financial success.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Thunderbolts*, it will be interesting to see how it fares and whether this score will lead to the movie exceeding expectations at the box office. After all, these aren’t the biggest-name characters (particularly to non-fans), so a high score like this will be hugely beneficial, especially if it translates to positive word-of-mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Thunderbolts*,\u00a0Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes – Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.<\/p>\n

Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it\u2019s too late?<\/p>\n

The cast of Thunderbolts* will be led by Florence Pugh as Yelena Boleva, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, and Lewis Pullman as “Bob.”<\/p>\n

Written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo, and directed by Jake Schreier,\u00a0Thunderbolts*\u00a0is currently set to be released in theaters on May 2, 2025.<\/p>\n
