Earlier in the summer, the film was made available to buy or rent at home via platforms like Prime Video or Apple TV. However, it will not be out on Disney Plus until the end of the month.

Thunderbolts will be out on D+ on Wednesday, August 27. Fans have a little less than two weeks left to wait.

During the pandemic, Disney was relatively quick with the turn around from the big screen to streaming. Encanto, for example, released in cinema on November 24 2021 and arrived on Disney Plus a month later - December 24 - just in time for Christmas.

But more recent films have stuck more firmly to the 90 day theatrical window. Captain America: Brave New World for example flew into cinemas on February 14 but didn’t release on the platform until May 28 - more than three months later.

Thunderbolts has followed a similar pattern to other more recent entries in the MCU in taking its sweet time to arrive on streaming. But the wait is almost over.
