THUNDERBOLTS* Rumored Disney+ Debut, Pedro Pascal Wraps AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, SPIDER-MAN 4 Tank Driver Revealed

In our latest news roundup, we have Thunderbolts*'s rumoured premiere date, confirmation that Pedro Pascal has finished shooting Avengers: Doomsday, and more from the Spider-Man: Brand New Day set...

Thunderbolts* is now available on Digital and Blu-ray, but for those of you holding out for its Disney+ debut, we may finally have a positive update. 

According to a commercial that's been airing in Greece, the movie will arrive on the streamer starting Wednesday, August 27. That's 117 days after the movie's theatrical debut, and a longer wait than Captain America: Brave New World (103 days), Deadpool & Wolverine (110 days), and The Marvels (92 days). 

Thunderbolts*—a.k.a. *The New Avengers—struggled at the box office, earning only $382 million at the worldwide box office, even after overwhelmingly positive reviews. 

"Thunderbolts* redefines superhero storytelling to deliver a moving and powerful story that does for the 'Multiverse Saga' what The Avengers did for the 'Infinity Saga' in 2012," we said in our review. "These heroes have earned their place on a Wheaties box."


Earlier today, Deadline broke the news that Pedro Pascal is in talks to join the cast of Searchlight Pictures' Behemoth! from writer/director Tony Gilroy (Andor). 

The actor remains one of the busiest Hollywood A-Listers, but his MCU commitments for 2025 have now concluded. According to the trade, "Fantastic Four kicked off the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Pascal recently wrapped production on the next Avengers movie, Avengers: Doomsday, which will premiere in 2026."

It's surprising to learn that he's already finished filming his scenes as Mister Fantastic. However, the Russo Brothers are likely working carefully around certain actors' schedules (Vanessa Kirby will have likely filmed most of her scenes right at the start of production due to her pregnancy). 

Pascal and other key cast members are likely to be enlisted for reshoots somewhere down the line. For now, though, Pascal is done.


We're once again wrapping up one of these roundups with more from the Glasgow set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Today, we can finally see who is driving the tank that Spidey has been pursuing, and it's not The Punisher...it's a stuntman. 

This was to be expected, of course, and we're not anticipating seeing Jon Bernthal on set unless the plan is to shoot a sequence where the wall-crawler removes his fellow vigilante from his vehicle and a fight ensues. 

Another new set video shows Spider-Man on top of the tank and pulling off a classic pose. Tom Holland isn't expected to return to Scotland, but shooting will continue in the city for next next couple of weeks (meaning more reveals may be incoming). 

Stay tuned, as we're keeping a very close eye on the set for any new updates.

Ngl , I thought Thunderbolt’s was already on Disney + but it’s good they waited a few months to put it on there rather then waiting just a month so hopefully that starts to get better.

Also in regards to Pascal having apparently wrapped up Doomsday , I’m not too surprised since the movie started filming in April and we are in August now with big movie shoots lasting 4-6 months usually then it makes sense they would start wrapping up cast members by now (especially if RDJ’s Doom is the main character & lead of Doomsday so the majority of the focus will be on him).

I know Pedro is overused, but what was the issue with his portrayal of Reed? I thought he was good in the role.

@DarthOmega - I agree. Lots of people saying he didn't embody the character, but the scene between him and Sue about the way he thinks through problems and that he had thought about sacrificing Franklin, seemed pretty on brand.

@Oberlin4Prez - Exactly My thoughts.

@DarthOmega - My only issue with Reed was his dumb plan to teleport the planet. But that is the fault of the writing not Pedro’s portrayal. I thought he was good in the role. All four of the main team did a good job.

@mountainman - I agree. It was a dumb plan, and the third act was a bit lame

@DarthOmega - im not the biggest F4 fan but i definitely didnt think he was the problem with the movie. i enjoyed it, prob a 7/10 for me but his plan was dumb and i was rather surprised that Sue, alone, was able to push Galactus, a being of immense power and abilities as far back as she did...i have other issues but pedro as reed was not one of them

@MotherGooseUPus - The plan was dumb, but I think they wanted a way for Sue to make the ultimate sacrifice so we can witness her heroics, and a way to set up Franklin's power set. The third act like many third acts was weak, but it didn't stop me from enjoying this film. 8/10. Have t had the time to rewatch it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Vanessa was amazing in this role.

@DarthOmega - problem I had was stupid mustache never shave off and he look three times older to sue to be her husband
DarthOmega
DarthOmega - 8/8/2025, 5:40 PM
@dragon316 - I dunno about that. Vanessa didn't look like a spring chicken in that. I actually thought she was older than 37

@DarthOmega - I guess my question is, as I dont knownthe F4 that well... is Sue really that powerful? I know shes the strongest of the 4 by Far but that was an insane amount of power she used. I guess it makes sense as they wanted to setup how crazy powerful Franklin is but it just kinda threw me for a loop as it 5mins before that we got a glimpse at how strong Galactus was... idk minor complaints from me but just sharing my thoughts

@MotherGooseUPus - No I hear you. Technically she could have formed a bubble in his brain and imploded it if she wanted. She could've bursted his heart or any number of things. But then she'd look villainous. The visual of seeing her push him with all her might and losing her life makes for a better cinematic moment. Also properly introducing us to Franklin.

Despite Spider-Man No Way Home taking place in New York. We didn't really get any New York street fights except the one with Doc Ock and Peter. It's refreshing to see we will get some action with Peter in New York this time around.

I'm glad they're going back to their old ways. 90 days in theaters,then you put it on VOD, then release the physical, THEN put it on streaming. This is the way

@bobevanz - It won't help the B.O. so I have to disagree.
