The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has taken a notable step in the certification process of Thunderbolts by ordering the muting of five specific objectionable words from the hollywood superhero film. According to a report by bollywood Hungama, the words "a**," "ahole," "dks," "b***h," and "prick" were identified as inappropriate for the broader indian audience, particularly given the film’s U/A 13+ rating, which allows viewers under 13 to watch the movie with parental guidance. Respecting the board’s guidelines, the studio complied with the demands, making the necessary edits and subsequently receiving the official censor certificate on april 23.

Directed by Jake Schreier, Thunderbolts runs for a total of 127 minutes and promises to be a significant addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Geraldine Viswanathan, David Harbour, and Wyatt Russell, among others. The story is expected to dive into the morally grey corners of Marvel's expansive world, bringing together a team of anti-heroes and reformed villains. Given the film's themes and character dynamics, the muted language likely stems from the more intense and edgy dialogue typical of such a storyline, which the CBFC has sought to moderate for its indian audience.

Thunderbolts is scheduled for a grand premiere on May 1 in India, ahead of its united states release on May 2. To cater to a diverse range of viewing preferences, the film will be available in multiple premium formats, including IMAX, Dolby cinema, RealD 3D, ScreenX, and 4DX. Marvel fans are eagerly awaiting the film, not just for its unique team-up and darker tone but also for its cinematic spectacle across these advanced formats. With the global buzz surrounding the film, its India-first release marks a strategic move to tap into the country's ever-growing Marvel fanbase, setting the stage for another potential box office success.
