Great news for Marvel fans in India as Marvel Studios' highly anticipated film Thunderbolts, which follows a team of antiheroes and supervillains, is set to hit Indian theaters a day before its global release. The film is now scheduled to premiere on May 1 in India.
Marvel Studios’ upcoming film Thunderbolts boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The much-anticipated movie is set for a global theatrical release on May 2, while audiences in India will get to watch it a day earlier, on May 1.
Marvel India made the announcement on their official Instagram handle, sharing the trailer along with an exciting caption to build anticipation among fans. "Not Supers, not heroes, the THUNDERBOLTS strike in 2 months! Releasing In Cinemas, 1 May 2025. In English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu."
Directed by Jake Schreier, best known for Paper Towns, the film will be available in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, ensuring a wider reach across Indian audiences. Schreier’s directorial vision aims to bring a unique take on Marvel’s unconventional team of antiheroes to the big screen.
In the Marvel Comics universe, the Thunderbolts are known as a team of villains, antiheroes, and former adversaries who have walked the path of redemption. The movie will follow the journeys of Yelena Belova (played by Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and John Walker/U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell) as they come together for a mission unlike any other.
The official storyline of Thunderbolts teases an intense and gripping narrative. The film follows a group of outcasts who, after being caught in a deadly trap orchestrated by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus), are forced to take on a perilous mission. As they navigate this high-stakes journey, they must confront the ghosts of their past and the choices that led them here. But the biggest question remains—will this dysfunctional team crumble under pressure, or will they rise above their differences, find redemption, and transform into something greater before time runs out?

Produced by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, the film is backed by an experienced team, with Louis D’Esposito, Brian Chapek, and Jason Tamez serving as executive producers.
