Marvel’s latest release, Thunderbolts*, has just hit theaters worldwide, bringing together a wide array of familiar MCU characters — from Bucky Barnes and Yelena Belova to the Sentry.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting this film, holding onto hope that it would mark a return to form. Since 2021, Marvel has struggled to consistently deliver high-quality, successful theatrical releases — making Thunderbolts* a critical moment for the studio.

Fortunately, Marvel seems to have gotten it right this time. Thunderbolts* has been well received by both critics and audiences alike. Surprisingly, though, its box office numbers are currently lagging behind Captain America 4 — a film that was met with far more criticism and far less enthusiasm.

The surprise twist? The movie’s new title, The New Avengers, which caught many fans off guard. However, it finally answered a lingering question: what was the meaning behind the asterisk in the original Thunderbolts* title?

Go see The New Avengers in cinemas now — form your own opinion, and support the creators who’ve spent years working to deliver a meaningful, high-quality film for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
