'Thunderbolts* brings together "an unconventional team of antiheroes," who "after finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts," according to the film's synopsis. "Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it's too late?" it adds. USA TODAY's Brian Truitt gave the film ★★★ out of four, writing Jake Schreier's directorial work is "one of the better recent outings for a cinematic universe that's been dealing with creative wobbles." "The satisfying adventure features side players from past projects like 'Black Widow' and 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' coming into their own, plus skillfully juggles bleak darkness and inspired humor in a surprisingly moving exploration of mental health," his review said.

Marvel actor video edited to spread India-Pakistan misinformation
"Goose Bumps Hats off to this gentleman, now Pakistani must know how ruthless Modiji is," reads an X post published May 13, 2025. The video in the post, which accumulated more than 2.4 million views, shows a person approaching a bus stop and replacing a poster that reads "Tell Modi" with another that says "I Told Modi." Indian media reported that, during the April 22 attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, a survivor said the gunman told her after killing her husband: "I won't kill you. Go and tell Modi" (archived link). The posts surfaced online after India said it had carried out strikes against "terrorist camps" in Pakistan, which led to four days of fighting before a ceasefire between the nuclear-armed South Asian rivals was announced by US President Donald Trump on May 10 (archived links here and here). India claimed Pakistan backed the militants behind the Pahalgam attack that killed 26, mainly Hindu men -- a charge Islamabad denies. The same video circulated with similar claims on Facebook and X, but the clip has been digitally altered from Marvel Studios promotional footage. A reverse image search using the video's keyframes found an unedited version published May 7 on Instagram (archived link). The caption reads: "#TheNewAvengers, but still #FilmedForIMAX experience #Thunderbolts* in #IMAX now!" Further keyword searches found the original video published May 5 on X by Marvel Studios with #TheNewAvengers (archived link). Originally titled "Thunderbolts*", the latest superhero film from Marvel stars Stan and remained on top of the North American box office in mid-May. The American production company revealed the asterisk in the movie's name referred to the titular ragtag team of antiheroes becoming "The New Avengers" (archived link). In Marvel's original video, Stan replaces a "Thunderbolts*" poster with one that says: "*The New Avengers" (archived link). AFP has fact-checked other misinformation about the India-Pakistan conflict here.

Box Office: Thunderbolts crosses USD 170M domestically, surpassing Eternals despite losing screens
Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts has officially topped Eternals at the US box office, marking a significant milestone over the Memorial Day weekend. With a current domestic total of USD 171.4 million, the ensemble superhero film has surpassed the USD 164.9 million lifetime gross of Eternals despite a noticeable drop in theater count and fierce competition from new releases. Now marketed as The New Avengers following a post-credit reveal, Thunderbolts earned USD 9.2 million in its fourth 3-day weekend. The Florence Pugh -led action film dropped 44.8 percent from the previous weekend, with a loss of 780 theaters on Friday amid a crowded summer box office. Next weekend, the film is expected to overtake the US totals of Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor, which earned USD 176.7 million and USD 181 million, respectively, further cementing its success among early MCU titles. Despite the strong run, the film is unlikely to hit the coveted USD 200 million domestic mark, but a final US total of around USD 195 million appears locked in. Globally, Thunderbolts has already grossed USD 355 million, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2025 so far. Directed by Jake Schreier and written by Eric Pearson and Joanna Cao, Thunderbolts was released in the US on May 2 as the final entry in Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The star-studded cast includes Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and more alongside Pugh, portraying a team of antiheroes forced into an uneasy alliance on a mission that could lead to their redemption. Thunderbolts' production faced delays due to the 2023 Hollywood labor strikes, leading to some creative and casting changes. Filming eventually took place from February to June 2024 in Atlanta, Utah, and Kuala Lumpur. The film premiered in London on April 22 before its US release and received positive reviews for its surprising emotional core, grounded tone, and, of course, the ensemble performance. The asterisk in the title — originally mysterious — was revealed to stand for The New Avengers, signifying the rebranding of the team by the film's end. Marvel Studios has since shifted its promotional strategy accordingly. As Thunderbolts continues its run, it stands as both a commercial success and a pivotal point for the MCU's evolving future narrative.

Marvel Just Changed the Name of 'Thunderbolts*' During Theatrical Run
Marvel Studios just pulled a fast one—and longtime fans are eating it up. After months of cryptic marketing for Thunderbolts* (emphasis on the asterisk), the studio quietly swapped out the film's title mid-release, revealing that the movie is actually called The New Avengers. And yes, that tiny punctuation mark was always hiding something big. The move happened fast. Over the film's opening weekend, a massive billboard in L.A. featuring the Thunderbolts* title was stripped away by the cast in a Marvel-posted video, unveiling the rebranded The New Avengers poster underneath. Ticketing sites like Fandango quickly updated the title as well. It's a slick marketing pivot—and also a bold spoiler reveal. So what's the deal? The asterisk pays off in the third act, when Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Valentina Allegra de Fontaine officially dubs her ragtag team 'The New Avengers.' The squad includes fan favorites like Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (David Harbour), and John Walker (Wyatt Russell), plus Ghost and classic MCU fashion, the post-credits scene takes it even further. We learn the New Avengers are shacking up in the original Avengers HQ, now renamed the Watchtower, while also facing a copyright lawsuit from none other than Sam Wilson's Captain America (Anthony Mackie). That sets up a collision course with Avengers: Doomsday, where these new recruits will apparently join forces with OG Avengers and the newly teased Fantastic Four—whose spaceship makes a cameo in orbit during the stinger. Even wilder? That Fantastic Four scene wasn't even shot by Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier. It was helmed by the Russo brothers for Doomsday. As Marvel's multiverse saga sprawls outward, this type of crossover-level coordination is only ramping up. Thunderbolts*—sorry, The New Avengers—is now playing in theaters.
