Thunderbolts* runs 2 hours 6 minutes, or 126-127 minutes including credits. It includes two credits scenes, and it moved from premium theater formats to digital purchase, disc, and Disney+ streaming. The team-up film runs slightly longer than Captain America: Brave New World, according to the Regal Theatres listing reported by MovieWeb in the Regal runtime listing. It carries a PG-13 rating for strong violence, language, thematic elements, and some suggestive and drug references, JoBlo reports from Motion Picture Association ratings.

How long is the movie?
Thunderbolts* is listed at 2 hours 6 minutes, or 126-127 minutes with credits. That places it in the shorter range for recent Marvel team movies, but still over two hours in the seat.
Parents should weigh the PG-13 rating when bringing children. The Motion Picture Association rating, reported by JoBlo, cites strong violence, language, thematic elements, and some suggestive and drug references.
Should you stay through the credits?
Yes. The film contains two credits scenes: a mid-credits scene after the first animated credits block and a true post-credits scene after all credits finish, according to SlashFilm in its credits-scene guide.
The mid-credits tag is a lighthearted Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian supermarket moment. The final scene sets up Phase Six and Avengers: Doomsday, GamesRadar reports, so viewers must stay to the very end.
Which theater formats were offered?
Thunderbolts* opened in U.S. theaters May 2, 2025.
Collider reports it played in IMAX alongside Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, ScreenX, 4DX, and other premium formats. Theatergoers could choose screen size, 3D, motion, or expanded-screen presentation at participating locations. Checking the local listing mattered because not every theater carried every premium version.
Where can you watch it now?
The home window followed quickly after theaters. Sportskeeda reports digital purchase or rental began July 1, 2025, about two months after the theatrical debut.
The physical editions and streaming date were detailed by SuperHeroHype in its home-release report. Home viewers seeking the expanded IMAX ratio should check format listings before watching, because Disney+ Help confirmed the Aug. 27 streaming release initially lacked an IMAX Enhanced version, via CBR.
