“You know it’s gonna be good then”—Fans react hilariously as Thunderbolts is Marvel Studios’ least expensive Phase 5 movie

Marvel Studios has become one of the most successful film studios in the world, raking in billions of dollars with massive-budget blockbusters like the Avengers films and Spider-Man. So one would assume all their movies are costly, right? Wrong!

Marvel’s Thunderbolts, releasing May 2, will be Phase 5’s least expensive film at $150-$200 million—nearly half the budget of Marvel’s priciest films. Fans are curious: will a smaller budget hurt quality or make it more authentic?

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Fans had plenty of hilarious reactions to Thunderbolts being Marvel Studios' least expensive Phase 5 film yet. Let's take a look at some of them!:

"You know its gonna be good then," said a fan.

Many fans believe a lower budget will make Thunderbolts more authentic, avoiding lazy storytelling with overused visual effects.

"Well Robert Downey Jr. isnt here thats why," joked another.

Aha, the mystery is solved! Thunderbolts is the least expensive Marvel Phase 5 film because Robert Downey Jr. isn’t in it. After all, the man bagged $75 million for each of the last two Avengers films!

A fan reacted to the news with a GIF:

"So, "only" $300 million...?"

It is wild to think about, isn’t it? A couple hundred million dollars being called a “low budget” film in today's day and age. Just a few decades ago, that kind of money could have funded an entire year’s worth of movies!

"Yet looks the best somehow, I mean no wait Fantastic four looks pretty much on par in terms of quality," a fan commented.

Marvel has this user torn between Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four: First Steps. Good thing they are not releasing the same day, or he would be trapped in a rewatch loop forever!

"Probably also the least good movie of Phase 5," pointed another.

Looks like the fanbase is pretty divided, as while some believe the lower budget will lead to a more authentic film, others are convinced it will hurt the movie by compromising on quality scenes.

Another user reacted with a GIF, noting: "Interesting"

Uh-oh, tensions are rising as fans eagerly debate whether Thunderbolts will deliver a solid movie experience despite its lower budget!

"Even cheaper than Cap 4? Damn," a fan wrote.

Quite the surprise for many, as Thunderbolts' budget is even lower than that of Captain America: Brave New World, which was made for $180 million.
