Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Studios have announced that Thunderbolts* is now showing in Philippine cinemas nationwide.

The highly anticipated, highly chaotic, and highly unlikely ensemble film closing Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe presents former villains and assassins as they take up the mantle of protecting Earth now that the Avengers are gone.

Leading the pack is Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), a former assassin for General Dreykov under the Black Widow program, who is back on the battlefield fighting for a different cause. She is joined by Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), a former Hydra-brainwashed assassin who eventually turned his life around to fight for good as the congressman of Brooklyn and will be forced to jump back into action in “Thunderbolts*”.

The team also includes Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian (David Harbour), a former super-soldier and father figure to Yelena and Natasha Romanoff, now seeking a second chance at purpose and relevance; Ava Starr/Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), an elite and ruthless former S.H.I.E.L.D. operative driven by one goal: to harness quantum energy to stabilize her deteriorating condition; John Walker (Wyatt Russell), the disgraced former Captain America;and Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), General Dreykov’s daughter and ‘greatest weapon’, now fighting alongside the very enemies she was once programmed to destroy.

And the person responsible for assembling this chaotic team? Enter Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), whose real motives remain a mystery. Does she have ulterior and personal motives for assembling a team of assassins, or is she an earnest patriot who wants to ensure the safety of her people?

Marvel Studios’ “Thunderbolts*” brings the iconic anti-hero team from page to screen, capturing the spirit of the 1997 comics. “There’s a rich history of source material, so it forced us to find a unique perspective,” says executive producer Brian Chapek. Director Jake Schreier, inspired by stories of broken teams and unlikely bonds, pitched a bold vision blending grit, humor, and emotion.
