THUNDERBOLTS*'s Fantastic Post-Credits Scene Leaks Online As More Critic Reactions Hit Following Premiere

The Thunderbolts* post-credits scene has leaked online in its entirety following another round of screenings yesterday evening. We also have another round of reactions from critics before today's reviews.

There are still a few days to go until Thunderbolts* arrives in theaters, but the movie's post-credits scene has already leaked online. We first shared details about its contents following last week's fan screenings; now, footage of the scene is all over social media and YouTube.

We can't share it here, but you can find it by following this link

There are a few additional details we didn't have before, including the fact that the U.S. Government has sanctioned this Avengers team (we also have a first look at the New Avengers logo). The biggest reveal comes right at the end with the arrival of the Fantastic Four on Earth-616 as the team's ship enters the atmosphere.

Marvel Studios has delivered a lot of seemingly pointless post-credits scenes during the Multiverse Saga. However, Thunderbolts*'s effort has set the stage for Avengers: Doomsday in a big way.

Thunderbolts*'s premiere took place in Hollywood yesterday evening, so we have more reactions from critics. The review embargo lifts later today, meaning we'll have a Rotten Tomatoes score to share with you in a matter of hours. 

Glowing social media reactions like these sometimes translate into a high percentage on the review aggregator (Sinners, for example), and other times, not so much (Captain America: Brave New World). We'll see where Marvel Studios' latest effort lands soon enough. 

You can read through the latest Thunderbolts* reactions in the X posts below. 

In Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios assembles an unconventional team of antiheroes - Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster and John Walker. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap set by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, these disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.

Will this dysfunctional group tear themselves apart, or find redemption and unite as something much more before it’s too late?

The cast of Thunderbolts* will be led by Florence Pugh as Yelena Boleva, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, and Lewis Pullman as "Bob."

Written by Eric Pearson, Lee Sung Jin, and Joanna Calo, and directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts* is currently set to be released in theaters on May 2, 2025.

@Sinner -
Depicting the heroes as narcissists obsessed with self-image rather than protecting the planet, including stating Sam Wilson is insecure and trying to steal the title of 'New Avengers' is definitely a choice...

Not sure it makes any of them likable.

@Scarilian -

Well they're not really supposed to be "heroes" as characters so that works well.

@Scarilian - You’re not that familiar with the Avengers are you?

@TrentCrimm -
They are still supposed to be likable characters for the audience who go on a journey of improving.

@Sinner -
A lot of these characters have been regressed or assassinated in order for Thunderbolts to function the way it does.

The Thunderbolts start and end the film the same, bickering and self-focused with a time skipped post-credit scene of 14 months later still having them acting exactly the same.

@Scarilian - So the Avengers? Who bicker in every single movie, and every single comic. They’re not the Justice League.

But the best thing to come out of this so far are those John Walker memes

@Sinner - think it's pretty funny there are even memes about it within the MCU

@Sinner - Embrace, love and worship the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord! Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.

That's not a post-credit scene, that's a whole sequence. Weird ending though. Kinda spoils the ending of Fantastic Four in a way.

Also, I'll never get why people cheer in cinemas. Glad they don't where I live.

TheVisionary25 - 4/29/2025, 5:39 AM
@bkmeijer1 - it honestly intrigues me more since I personally didn’t think we would get them in “our” universe until Doomsday so it makes me wonder what exactly happens because I don’t see the FF losing in their big screen introduction.

@bkmeijer1 - only imbeciles and Americans cheer in cinemas. We don't do that in Europe. Those kinds of people clap when a plane lands
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 4/29/2025, 6:54 AM
@TheVisionary25 - I think them showing up before Doomsday is the spoiler. Still, I'm definitely as to when they make the jump.

And maybe the post-credit scene is something we'll see again in Doomsday. I liked it when Marvel used scenes from future movies as post-credit scenes.

@AllsNotGood - Always found it odd when people clapped as the plane lands. Although now I have a one year old and will clap like a seal to show her that it’s totally safe and that the rumbling, shaking of the plane isn’t anything to worry about…I’m always fricking terrified though. I hate flying.

Always mortified of flying and I have a wife who loves to travel lol

bkmeijer1 - 4/29/2025, 7:38 AM
@ShimmyShimmyYA - hadn't thought about it that way, but it's definitely similar. Only difference is we didn't know anything about Carol's return.

@bkmeijer1 - they do where I live I can deal with cheering and clapping but [frick]ing cellphones keep dam things off

@AllsNotGood - I can deal with clapping and cheering but cellphones is disrespectful I was not there avengers end game opening night ?si=kIL4GFj1bcbruTPC watching these videos felt like I was sometimes get goose bumps every time I watch fans reaction of avengers end game

@bkmeijer1 - totally fair. I’ve heard a rumor how that scene connects to the F4 movie
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 4/29/2025, 8:09 AM
@dragon316 - that's probably the most annoying thing. With Revenge of the Sith there were some people taking pictures of the opening scroll. I get that, but after that keep it off (or atleast put brightness all the way down)

@bkmeijer1 - It reminded me of the post credit scenes from phase 1. Like whole ass sequences. It’s how it should be.

I won’t say marvel is back but…I really liked that? I mean, the dynamic with them is great and I liked the way the scene was written. I mean good god it was better than Brave new world that’s for sure.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 4/29/2025, 8:34 AM
@kg8817 - I liked it that up until Doctor Strange or so they often just used clips from future movies. This seems to be just like that.

As for this scene, it does very much feel like that. Wouldn't be surprised if it's actually a scene from Doomsday.

@AllsNotGood - “We don't do that in Europe“

Czechs are usually super reserved, but I swear I was at a championship hockey match when Cap picked up mjölnir in EG opening night. The sound was deafening in the theater.

But I agree, this wouldn’t get a single reaction.

@AllsNotGood - while there’s rarely any cheering the entire room was screaming during IW and Endgame. It really was a pretty big event even here.

That being said, haven’t had much screaming before and after

@Cass - I have OCD and have developed a mild phobia with flying but get through it ok. I get worried every time I see an Asian person. Start getting intrusive thoughts about terrorism

@dragon316 - yeah phones are a pain in the ass. I went with a friend the other day and he's a talker lol didn't have the heart to tell him

@JustAWaffle - I mean I gasped got goosebumps...... some in the theatre yelped but that's the full extent of it

@Blergh - it was huge here but people were pretty contained although you can see they were excited

@AllsNotGood - where you from btw.? Often its also down to local cultures, I'm from Austria so my people are generally more reserved when sober

@Blergh - I'm from UK they are generally more reserved. In the us people hi five each other for any old reason 😁.
