Thunderbolts*

Thunderbolts* marks Marvel's strongest critical and commercial comeback since Spider-Man: No Way Home, grossing over $490 million worldwide. The morally grey team-up, led by Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, earned a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score—outperforming #10 Paddington in Peru's 88% and surpassing the average MCU Phase 5 film by 15 percentage points. Its character-driven, smaller-scale narrative was hailed as a necessary course correction after four consecutive franchise entries underperformed at the box office.
