While we strive to avoid spoilers in titles, there might be non-spoiler details that you don’t want to know. Don’t worry, though, because we’ll warn you again before we get to that section.

Thunderbolts release date

Marvel has set the Thunderbolts release date for July 26th, 2024. The date was announced at Comic-Con 2022.

The movie will hit theaters worldwide on that date, provided Marvel doesn’t decide to delay the release for some reason. Marvel’s MCU movies and Disney Plus shows have seen many delays over the past few months and years, so nothing is set in stone.

Thunderbolts Disney Plus release date

All MCU movies will hit theaters before becoming available on Disney’s streaming service. Thunderbolts is no different. The MCU films will hit Disney Plus about 45 days after their theatrical debut.

That means Thunderbolts will be available for streaming on Disney Plus on or after September 9th, 2024.
