Thunderbolts* is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics team Thunderbolts. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is being directed by Jake Schreier and written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo, and stars an ensemble cast featuring Sebastian Stan, Hannah John-Kamen, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Olga Kurylenko, Harrison Ford, and Lewis Pullman. In the film, a group of antiheroes goes on missions for the government.

Marvel Studios began teasing the formation of a Thunderbolts team within the MCU in 2021. The film was revealed to be in development in June 2022, when Schreier and Pearson were attached. The film's main cast members were revealed that September, followed by additional casting through early 2023. Lee joined to rewrite the film's script by March 2023, one of several creatives who returned to work with Schreier from the Netflix series Beef. Production was delayed due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, causing some actors to leave the project and be replaced in early 2024, when Calo joined. Filming began in February 2024 and will last until July at Trilith Studios and Atlanta Metro Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as in Utah and New York.

Thunderbolts* is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 5, 2025, as the last film of Phase Five of the MCU.
