After failing to end their streak of missing 25 original release dates in a row, Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts: The Art of the Movie became book number 26 to suffer a delay at the start of the month. Now, less than 4 weeks later, another has been spotted through retailer listings for the book.
Originally set to be published on August 26th, the artbook based on this years movie Thunderbolts* was pushed back a week to September 2nd 2025. Sadly, this has happened again, as seen on sites like Amazon US and Barnes & Noble, with a new release date of September 9th 2025. Other websites, including most in the UK, have yet to update their listings from the original release date, though this will likely happen soon and is typical for most upcoming books when they are sadly moved further back in the year.
As reported in the last delay here, at the time there was only one other book that had received just one delay before hitting shelves, Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine: The Art of the Movie. Unfortunately though, this upcoming release joins the many others that were pushed more than once. The good news though, is that these are very short delays comparatively to others that got pushed a month or more at a time and it is still coming within 6 months of the movies premier.
As is typical with most publishers, including Marvel, no reason is given and nothing is shared to address the change of date. That can make it hard to track dates, with this website keeping up with them through the painful process of manually checking from time to time for any changes. Even this allows some to slip through the net though and in this instance, a site visitor spotted it first and notified me.
Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts: The Art of the Movie will be released in a slipcase with lithograph prints, retailing at $100. Like all other artbooks post-Endgame, it will have 224 pages of concepts for the characters, locations and key frames. It's possible it will include sketches and storyboards too if their last artbook is anything to go by, both of which, especially early sketches, have been left out of recent entries artbook series.

Despite not selling the number of tickets Marvel Studios had hoped for, Thunderbolts* was received well by audiences, with the performances of the cast and story being a large reason for that. The movie follows Yelena, Bucky, Red Guardian, Ghost and John Walker as they find themselves in an unlikely team-up situation to take on a new threat. The movie was released in May of 2025 as the 36th movie in the long-running Marvel Cinematic Universe, which also includes TV shows too.
