Marvel’s Thunderbolts* brings together a brand new team of superheroes dedicated to protecting the planet. As the final film in Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it also introduces the New Avengers—the team we’ll be seeing a lot more of in Phase 6. While some of the cast are familiar faces within the MCU, many have appeared in a wide variety of films and series outside of Marvel. From Florence Pugh in Little Women to Sebastian Stan in The Apprentice, if you’re curious about where else you might have seen the cast of Thunderbolts*, check out our guide below and find out where you can stream each feature.
