Matt Neglia, the editor-in-chief of Next Best Picture, took to social media to marvel at Thunderbolts, calling it “different from other MCU films” and coming at an “opportune time when the franchise is in need of new blood and direction.”

In the lead up to the premiere, Marvel promised a different kind of superhero movie with “Thunderbolts.” Back in March, a trailer ran in theaters boasting the film’s lineup of cast and crew who have worked on A24 films. Even before the trailer debuted, director Schreier touted the film as distinct from Marvel’s usual fare.

Marvel might be back. Disney lifted the social embargo on Marvel's Thunderbolts on Tuesday afternoon, more than a week before the film hits theaters, and the early word on the superhero feature is stronger than any Marvel Cinematic Universe entry in some time.
