Presently, the leading Thunderbolts* cast members are filming Avengers: Doomsday, with Anthony and Joe Russo directing the Phase 6 installment, which will release on Dec. 18, 2026.
Even though it hasn’t been announced, it wouldn’t be shocking if the Thunderbolts* leads are also part of the Avengers: Secret Wars cast, as filming on the Phase 6 finale will happen at a later time.

Our Take On The Thunderbolts* Disney+ Release Date
While Thunderbolts* may have been a box office disappointment for Marvel Studios, it would be no surprise if the MCU antihero team-up film ends up becoming a big hit on Disney+. Since they are now being marketed as the New Avengers, it may encourage more fans who didn’t catch it in theaters to watch it on Disney+.
Hopefully, with several Thunderbolts* cast members being included in Avengers: Doomsday, the Disney+ release will allow the movie to become more successful through streaming. With Thunderbolts* confirmed to head to Disney+ on Aug. 27, time will tell how the film performs on the streaming platform.
