A few short weeks remain in the 2025 summer movie season , and we have to say, it’s been a pretty great one. Lots of the big blockbusters really delivered.

Spoiler: this is the only Marvel movie on this list. Not that we disliked Fantastic Four —it’s actually pretty fun—but Thunderbolts offered us a more exciting ride , with an incredible cast of characters and a much, much better tease toward the future.

Thunderbolts is now available on digital download and Blu-ray. It’ll hit Disney+ on August 27.
