In the lead up to the premiere, Marvel promised a different kind of superhero movie with “Thunderbolts.” Back in March, a trailer ran in theaters boasting the film’s lineup of cast and crew who have worked on A24 films. Even before the trailer debuted, director Schreier touted the film as distinct from Marvel’s usual fare.

Amidst all this, it seems like ‘Thunderbolts*’ arrives like a ray of sunshine and hope. The film has just been unveiled to select members of the press, and early reactions paint a very different picture from what fans might expect from a traditional MCU team-up.

The latest Marvel movie, "Thunderbolts*," has screened for press and fans, with the early social media reactions all mostly unified.
