‘Thunderbolts' is now streaming — Here's how to watch the MCU movie at home
They're not super and not heroes, but they are now streaming on Prime Video.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's misfits come together in 'Thunderbolts*', which hit theaters in May and began streaming on demand today, July 1.
The latest MCU installment follows a handful of antiheroes, led by Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova and Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes, as they're led into a death trap and forced to work together if they have any hope of escaping, but an even more dangerous mission awaits them outside, and the complicated group is forced to confront the darkest parts of their pasts if they have any hope of moving forward — as a team or not.
RELATED: 'Thunderbolts*' post-credit sequence explained (beware spoilers!)
The Post's entertainment critic Johnny Oleksinski gave the film three out of four stars in his review, noting that it's 'Marvel's most entertaining movie in years' that 'doesn't feel like just another Marvel movie.'
'Thunderbolts' streaming release date:
'Thunderbolts' is streaming on-demand on platforms like Prime Video now! 'Thunderbolts*' was released on digital, July 1.
How to watch 'Thunderbolts' on Prime Video:
'Thunderbolts' is available for digital purchase on Prime Video. The film costs $29.99 to buy or $24.99 to rent — still significantly less than it may cost for a family to go out to the movies to watch it.
While you won't have to be a paid Amazon Prime member to buy 'Thunderbolts*,' you will need at least a free Amazon account; that way, you can return to watch 'Thunderbolts*' whenever you want to.
Video-on-demand rentals are good for 30 days, but expire 48 hours after you first hit play on a rented title.
'Thunderbolts' cast guide:
In addition to familiar MCU faces, actors from 'Drive Away Dolls,' 'Top Gun: Maverick,' and 'Elsbeth' make their Marvel debuts in the new film.
Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, a former Red Room-trained Black Widow assassin
Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier, a super soldier with a cybernetic arm who has recently been elected to congress
Wyatt Russell as John Walker / U.S. Agent, a super soldier and former disgraced Captain America
David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian, a super soldier who is the Russian counterpart to Captain America
Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr / Ghost, a member of the Thunderbolts who can phase through objects
Lewis Pullman as Robert 'Bob' Reynolds / Sentry / Void: a superpowered individual suffering from amnesia
Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, the director of the CIA, who brings together members of the Thunderbolts
Geraldine Viswanathan as Mel, Valentina's assistant
Wendell Pierce as Gary, a Congressman working to impeach Valentina
Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov / Taskmaster, a former Red Room-trained assassin with photographic reflexes
'Thunderbolts' physical release date:
While you can stream 'Thunderbolts*' at home now, some may prefer a physical alternative to owning movies digitally, where there's always the chance that rights may be revoked and you'll lose that digital access. Physical discs are tangible proof that, as long as you have a player to play it, you'll be able to watch the movie you own.
The limited-edition 4K UHD steelbook, Blu-ray, and DVD copies of 'Thunderbolts*' will be released on July 29, but you can preorder now on Amazon to receive your copy on release day.

'Hamilton' producer reflects on 10-year anniversary
Ten years later, history still has its eyes on 'Hamilton.' The beloved musical, created by original star Lin-Manuel Miranda, celebrates a decade on Broadway this week. Producer Jeffrey Seller is reflecting on the show's lasting influence on audiences and the theater world since its groundbreaking premiere. 9 Seller produced Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical 'Hamilton.' Getty Images 'I'm feeling so rewarded by 'Hamilton's' impact on people over [the past] 10 years,' Seller, 60, exclusively told The Post. 'The ways in which it has brought so many people joy, … inspiration and illumination. How much it has entertained, but also how much it has educated.' 'Hamilton' officially opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Aug. 6, 2015, following previews that began on July 13. Since then, Seller said it has reached 'well over a quarter of a million Title I high school' students. '[It] not only entertains them, but teaches them American history,' Seller said. 'Not only teaches them American history, but gives them a sense of place — 'Oh, I belong here too. I'm part of the story.'' 9 More than 4.6 million people have seen 'Hamilton' on Broadway. NY Post Brian Zak 9 The original Broadway cast of 'Hamilton' included Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr. and Anthony Ramos. Getty Images According to Broadway World, more than 4.6 million people have seen 'Hamilton' on Broadway — not including those the musical has reached through its filmed version on Disney+, which earned 'Hamilton' an Emmy for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) in 2021. In June 2020, Forbes reported that the production had surpassed $1 billion in global revenue, making it one of the few to reach the milestone. The achievement helped land Miranda, 45, on the list of the world's highest-paid celebrities, with estimated earnings of $45.5 million that year. 'Hamilton' also dominated the 2016 Tony Awards, winning 11 out of its record-setting 16 nominations, including best musical and best original score. 9 Seller described 'Hamilton' as a 'strike of lightning.' Kevin Mazur The original Broadway cast included Miranda, who also wrote the show's book and score, as Alexander Hamilton; Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr; and Anthony Ramos as John Laurens and Philip Hamilton. This fall, Odom, 43, is set to reprise his role for the first time since departing the production in 2016. According to ticket-selling platforms like Broadway Direct and TodayTix, Odom's entire run — from Sept. 9 to Nov. 26 — is completely sold out. Before tickets were snagged, prices ranged from $205 to $624, not including fees. Miranda, for his part, is also known for creating and starring in 2008's 'In the Heights,' another Broadway hit produced by Seller that also earned Tonys for best musical and best original score. 9 'Hamilton' began as a concept album about the life of Treasure Secretary Alexander Hamilton. AP 9 'Hamilton' premiered off-Broadway at The Public Theater on Feb. 17, 2015. Getty Images Reflecting on 'Hamilton's' early days, Seller said it felt like 'if 'In the Heights' was this warm embrace, 'Hamilton' was this strike of lighting.'' 'It was absolutely Lin, but it was also another leap forward for him creatively,' Seller explained. 'I remember I was just so blown away by the first three songs: 'Alexander Hamilton,' 'My Shot' and, maybe, Washington's first song ('Right Hand Man').' 'I just said, 'What do you want to do?'' he continued. 'At first, he wanted to make an album. I said, 'So we'll help you make an album… I'm here to serve.'' 9 'Hamilton' won best musical and best original score at the 2016 Tony Awards. Bloomberg via Getty Images 9 'Hamilton' canceled its 2026 run at the Kennedy Center. In fact, in 2009, Miranda introduced 'Hamilton' as a concept album during an appearance at the White House for an evening of poetry, music and the spoken word under the Obama administration. 'I'm thrilled the White House called me tonight because I'm actually working on a hip-hop album,' he said at the time. 'It's a concept album about the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton.' Miranda then performed an early version of what would become 'Hamilton's' opening number, aptly titled 'Alexander Hamilton.' 9 Lin-Manuel Miranda's final performance as Alexander Hamilton in 2016. Getty Images Before transferring to Broadway, the off-Broadway production of 'Hamilton' premiered at The Public Theater on Feb. 17, 2015. Despite its success over the past 10 years, Seller said he thinks it's still too early to know what the show's legacy will be. ''Legacy' is a hard word because we don't know,' he explained. 'I think we're still too close to see what its legacy is.' In addition to 'Hamilton,' Seller's other producing credits include 'Rent,' 'Avenue Q,' the 2009 revival of 'West Side Story' and, most recently, the 2023 revival of 'Sweeney Todd.' He chronicled his journey from growing up in Detroit to becoming an award-winning producer in his book, 'Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir,' published on May 6. Meanwhile, 'Hamilton' continues its reach beyond Broadway with multiple North American tours, as well as productions in London's West End, Australia, the UK and Ireland.

Gen Z women are using Hinge to get their furniture built by matches — for free
Move over, Mr. Right — Gen Z gals are looking for Mr. Fix-It. Savvy single ladies in NYC and beyond are treating the dating app Hinge like a handyman service —updating their profiles on the trendy pair-off platform to say they can be 'won over' by a man who can help them install, well, hinges. Dinner and drinks? Later for that — these practical women on the prowl say the ideal 'first date' includes hex keys and hammer drills. 'I feel like guys need a little job or mission, and then they feel so happy. They're like a golden retriever [dog] — they accomplished something and are happy to help,' Hinge habitué Storm Halestrap, 24, of Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn, told The Post of the 'Bob the Builder' trend. 6 Forget cocktails — these no-nonsense bachelorettes say the hottest first date involves hex keys, hammer drills, and hanging shelves, not out at bars. Donald Pearsall / NY Post Design The professional photographer participated in the handyman-hustling Hinge hack on social media, posting a video —albeit a cheeky one — back in April that showed a man crouched on the floor assembling a wooden table with a drill. 'POV: You get your Hinge date to build your new TikTok shop furniture,' the caption read. It turns out that the man featured is her current boyfriend, whom she did meet on the popular app, Halestrap told The Post, though she didn't nab him while looking for Mr. Fix-It. However, the impetus for her video was that she previously had multiple successes meeting similarly service-minded suitors on Hinge. During her senior year at Parsons School of Design, Halestrap matched with a finance bro shortly after moving to Midtown — and casually mentioned that her dark, tiny bedroom needed some sprucing up. 'I remember telling one of my Hinge matches about this and how I wanted plants to brighten up my room, and he said, 'Well, I think we have to do that for our first date — I'll buy you all the plants you need to fill your room,'' she recalled. @lily_halest This video made me realise that actually none of the furniture in my room has been put togther by me :) ♬ I'm a Princess – Moey's Music Party The two got drinks to loosen up, then stumbled into Home Depot on the Upper East Side, where he filled her cart with greenery and helped haul it all back. A year earlier, while living in the East Village, she invited a different guy over who zeroed in on her bare bedroom walls and immediately offered to hang her frames — even insisting on buying nails and a lamp to brighten the space. 'I thought it was funny how I brought this guy into my bedroom, and his first thought was to start fixing things and telling me what I needed to fix in my room,' Halestrap recounted. 6 'I feel like guys need a little job or mission, and then they feel so happy,' Storm Halestrap (above) told The Post of her creative Hinge hack. @storm_halestrap 6 Halestrap sent this image to a potential handyman suitor to show him where she needed some prints expertly hung. Experts say the chivalry-tinged trend taps into a post-pandemic shift: ladies want utility — not just chemistry. 'It mimics the most traditional dynamic — the man fixes, the woman asks for help,' Dr. Jennifer Gunsaullus, a sociologist, speaker and founder of The Center for Courageous Intimacy, told The Post. 'The men get to impress through action — not just words — and show off problem-solving skills right from the jump,' she explained. Hinge declined to comment when contacted by The Post. 6 Experts say the 'Bob the Builder' dating trend reflects a post-pandemic pivot — women now want usefulness, not just butterflies. AntonioDiaz – The stories are popping up all over TikTok these days — with allegedly satisfied users showing off everything from built bed frames to hung cabinets. And after a Post reporter added a call for shelf-and-curtain-rod removal to their own Hinge profile, offers of help came hammering in — with get-it-done guys declaring their willingness to work before, during or after a date. 'I think this trend is super cute and nice to know that the guys want to help out. It shows that they're a good sport about it and the kind of person they are,' Teana Heys, 23, of Seattle, told The Post. Heys' TikTok telling of her own experience went viral last September, showing her former roommate in Phoenix and a Hinge match getting down to business — with a power drill. In the clip, the man is seen preparing to mount a TV on their wall as the cheeky caption declares: 'We're just girls utilizing our resources.' Heys told The Post that the roomie had proudly listed 'looking for a handyman' in her Hinge bio — and was met with enthusiastic prospects. 'A lot of guys actually responded to it, asking her what she needed fixed,' she said. Another Seattle resident, Rimika Banerjee, 24, had similar success reaching out for help after a recent move. 'I was anticipating having to build all the furniture myself — it was stressful,' Banerjee told The Post. 'I remember thinking, 'This is a situation where it would be nice to have a boyfriend,' but I didn't, so I just went straight to Hinge.' 6 After a Post reporter swapped flirty banter for a call to yank shelves and curtain rods, Hinge handymen came hammering — eager to work it before, during or after a date. Banerjee said the handyman hook was her hottest Hinge prompt yet — racking up more matches and messages than any flirty one-liner ever could, resulting in her ideal meet-up. 'He helped build my bed frame and was one of the nicest guys I've met on Hinge,' she said. 'It felt like getting the boyfriend experience on a first date.' Banerjee said building furniture together took the pressure off, created instant chemistry, and helped break the ice — and even though the pair didn't end up dating, it made what would have been a chore into a happy experience. 'These tasks can be annoying, but if you have an attractive guy around, they can be more fun,' she explained. 'It mimics a real-life partner situation.' But while relationship expert Gunsaullus applauded the 'authentic' nature of the DIY dates, calling them 'refreshing,' they're not without risks, she warned. 'Letting someone into your home on a first date is serious. You should ask yourself: Do I really trust this person?' she said, recommending at least a few meetups — preferably three — before inviting anyone in for a home project. 6 Relationship guru Gunsaullus called these DIY dates 'authentic' and 'refreshing' — but warned they're not exactly screw-up proof. Monkey Business – Gunsaullus also raised concerns about men feeling exploited, particularly if they're unaware they're being filmed for social media clout. 'I would hate for a man to just feel used … like he was handy and social media fodder,' she said.
