Florence Pugh leads a crew of scrappy misfits. It’s a familiar premise, “Suicide Squad” did the same thing, but here it works.

But Thunderbolts* feels like an MCU throwback in the best way, one that allows its characters and own story to be the main focus rather than wider concerns. Like James Gunn did with Guardians 3, director Jake Schreier has been able to put his own stamp on it.

Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan win hearts and minds in "Thunderbolts*," in which Marvel misfits tackle a story of redemption and mental health.
