Thunderbolts* has been receiving love from the audiences and critics for the last few days, but they might not be the only fans. It seems like they are in good company since the former MCU stars recently came together to watch Thunderbolts*. The Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu shared the photo on his social media, saying,

"it’s movie night with the boys… get your tix!!"

The post includes former Marvel stars like Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Channing Tatum (Remy LeBeau / Gambit), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson / Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), and Winston Duke (Black Panther). Most of them will be returning to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday.

On the same day, Simu Liu also shared a photo in his story with two other Marvel stars: Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Vanessa Kirby, who will play Ben Grimm and Susan Storm, respectively, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Robert Downey Jr. has shared the same photo in his post, saying,

"Just wow!!! Dinner and a show with the Old Avengers. So cool, fresh, and deep. Big congrats."

Thunderbolts* is having a moment right now, bringing a whole new set of heroes for a team-up. They offer a darker and grittier chapter than the recent chapters in the MCU. So, the audiences have been showering praise on this return to the studio's back-to-basics approach. While the Marvel fans are enjoying this new change in their universe, the other MCU stars seem just as pleased with the new movie.

In a recent post, Simu Liu praised Thunderbolts* with a caption:

"bravo to everyone involved in this film. a beating heart with a beautiful message wrapped up in a fun action flick. an absolute joy to watch!"

While a new team-up of antiheroes, this movie has a few older stars returning to the universe in a new form, confronting their dark pasts and facing the truth in the hope of justice and redemption. In the absence of the Avengers, a new batch of heroes fight the battle against the big bad. The cast includes:

  • Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova
  • David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian
  • Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes
  • Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr / Ghost
  • Wyatt Russell as John Walker / U.S. Agent
  • Lewis Pullman as Robert "Bob" Reynolds / Sentry / Void

The movie is now available to watch in theaters.
