‘Thunderbolts' OTT release date OUT — When and where to stream Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan film
Marvel fans have a new reason to celebrate as 'Thunderbolts', the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is finally heading to OTT platforms.
The film, which was later on changed to 'The New Avengers' in select marketing circles, will be available for digital purchase and rental beginning July 1 on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, according to USA Today.
The release comes almost two months after the film's theatrical debut on May 2, and continues Marvel Studios' recent trend of diving into grittier narratives and complex character arcs. This marks a notable pivot from the traditional superhero formula, offering fans a darker, emotionally layered team-up story.
'Thunderbolts' brought together a lineup of lesser-explored but fan-favourite characters from across the MCU in a high-stakes, morally grey storyline.
According to the official synopsis, 'the film follows a group of anti-heroes who find themselves caught in a perilous mission orchestrated by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The team must navigate treacherous personal histories while attempting to survive a deadly trap and determine whether redemption or ruin lies ahead.'
The cast features Sebastian Stan reprising his role as Bucky Barnes, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, and Lewis Pullman as the formidable Sentry. The film also stars Olga Kurylenko, Wendell Pierce, and Chris Bauer in significant supporting roles.
Directed by Jake Schreier (Paper Towns, Robot & Frank) and written by Eric Pearson (Black Widow), 'Thunderbolts' represents a tonal shift for Marvel — blending emotional drama with psychological tension and morally ambiguous missions.
While reactions to the theatrical release were mixed, with praise for performances and criticism of pacing, the OTT debut gives viewers another chance to engage with the film and reassess its place in the evolving MCU landscape.
Even though the film was the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2025, it severely underperformed at the box-office, earning $381 million against a production budget of $180 million.
The film was later on rebranded as 'The New Avengers', signaling that the asterisk at the end of the film's initial name was hinting at the change all along.

3 Big Clashes in July 2025: Maalik vs Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan vs Superman to Son Of Sardaar 2 vs Fantastic Four
July 2025 is packed with exciting releases, offering a variety of content, from romance to comedy and action. The monsoon month will see three major clashes at the box office, which will keep hitting the headlines. Here's a look at the big clashes of the upcoming month. Maalik vs Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan vs Superman On July 11, three movies of different genres are set to release together. Rajkummar Rao's Maalik is a gangster drama which marks Rao's entry into the action space. It will have a direct box office fight with Vikrant Massey and debutante Shanaya Kapoor starrer Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan. The romantic drama has a good buzz and is expected to surprise the audience. The third major release of July's second weekend is Superman. The much-awaited Hollywood movie, starring Clark Kent is expected to give a tough fight to the Hindi releases. Don't wonder if it opens with bigger numbers than the Rajkummar Rao and Vikrant Massey movies. Saiyaara vs Tanvi The Great vs Nikita Roy The second clash will be on July 18 between another three Hindi releases- Saiyaara, Tanvi The Great and Nikita Roy. Interestingly, all the three movies have debutante talents. While Saiyaara will mark the big screen debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Tanvi The Great will introduce a new face, Shubhangi Dutt. The third release, Nikita Roy, will be the directorial debut of Kush S Sinha, who is a brother of Sonakshi Sinha. Out of the three releases, Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and backed by YRF, has a chance to lead the clash and gain maximum traction at the box office. Son of Sardaar 2 vs Fantastic Four The third big clash will be between Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardaar 2 and Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four. Coming from distinct genres, both movies are hitting the screens on July 25. While the Ajay Devgn starrer is a big ensemble comedy movie, the Hollywood flick is a superhero movie that will mark the beginning of the MCU's Phase Six. It will be interesting to see how these titles will perform at the box office and who will win their respective clashes. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more.
