Fresh findings indicate that the upcoming release of “Thunderbolts” might surpass the disappointing MCU record on Disney+, given its 100-day tenure in cinemas starting early May. Despite earning positive reviews from critics for director Jake Schreier’s latest Marvel team-up movie, it has struggled to gather momentum at the box office and currently ranks among the franchise’s lowest grossing films.
Although the Florence Pugh-led Marvel Cinematic Universe film didn’t fare well in cinemas, as of now, there hasn’t been an announced release date on Disney+. However, a recently leaked TV spot suggests that the movie might be making its way to streaming services soon, possibly setting a new record for streaming views on Disney+.
A user on Reddit seems to have shared what appears to be an advertisement running on Greek television, hinting that the series titled Thunderbolts might debut on Disney+ on the date of August 27th.
If such circumstances occur, the 2025 Marvel film would set a new record for the longest interval between its theater debut and becoming available on streaming platforms, surpassing the previous record held by Deadpool and Wolverine.
The movie “Thunderbolts” initially premiered in cinemas on May 2. If it is set to stream online from August 27, there will be a 117-day interval between the releases, surpassing the 110-day gap of the “Deadpool” sequel’s premiere.
For the past few years, it’s been common for Marvel Studios films to appear on a streaming platform about 100 days following their release in theaters. Although this delay is slightly longer than usual, it still falls within the range at which they typically release.
Below, you’ll find details about each Marvel Studios movie release along with the timeframe from their cinema debut to their arrival on Disney+.
The following list provides information on the Marvel Studios movies, including the duration between their theater release and availability on Disney+.
- Thunderbolts* – 117 days (rumored)
- Captain America: Brave New World – 103 days
- Deadpool & Wolverine – 110 days
- The Marvels – 92 days
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – 89 days
- Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania – 89 days
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – 82 days
- Thor: Love and Thunder – 62 days
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – 47 days
- Eternals – 68 days

In “Thunderbolts,” we follow an unconventional team of Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes, notably including Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes. This motley crew is brought together when they’re discarded and deemed expendable by their government superiors. The film introduces a fresh Marvel Studios superhero squad, the New Avengers, who will make their appearance in next year’s “Avengers: Doomsday.
Why Is Thunderbolts’ Disney+ Release Taking So Long?
117 days is quite a stretch, especially considering the performance of “Thunderbolts” at the box office, where it ranked among the lowest grossing films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Given this, some people expected the movie to be swiftly added to Disney+ as Disney looked to distance themselves from the film. However, that prediction proved false.
Surprisingly, it appears that “Thunderbolts” might set a new record by having the longest gap between its theatrical release and debut on Disney+. This prolonged interval could be due to strategic adjustments Disney is making in their streaming approach.
Surprisingly, it seems that the extended delay might be due to the production of another Marvel Cinematic Universe film titled, “Fantastic Four: First Steps.
In an unexpected turn of events, the initial performance on stage for “First Steps” took place instead of when audiences might have anticipated the streaming premiere of “Thunderbolts”. This could mean that “Fantastic Four: First Steps” was moved slightly earlier, thus capturing most Marvel enthusiasts’ attention in cinemas at the moment.

After a while, it’s been since “Fantastic Four” was released on the big screen, and now that Disney has cleared the way, they are ready to shine the spotlight on “Thunderbolts” once more. They’ve officially announced a late August release date for streaming.
