- As of June 24, 2025, after episodes 1–3 had arrived on Disney+, Rotten Tomatoes listed a 68% critics’ score and a 55% audience score.
- This placed the series just above Secret Invasion in the MCU Disney+ ranking, whose scores were 53% from critics and 43% from audiences.
- The figures could still rise or fall as more reviews are submitted and episodes 4–6 are released.
- The article also reports a review-bombing campaign targeting the series, with negative audience reviews allegedly submitted before episodes 1–3 premiered and likely affecting the current score.
That's beyond petty; it's cruel, and to take a page from Mister Fantastic actor Pedro Pascal, 'loser behavior.'— Pedro Pascal on the behavior of fans who intentionally want to harm Ironheart.

- Doctor Doom is scheduled to debut in Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026, facing the Avengers, New Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men.
- Thunderbolts*’ post-credits scene shows a ship with a 4 logo arriving on Earth-616 but does not confirm who is aboard.

- After a possible incursion, Doom could pose in the MCU as a refugee and ally, manipulate heroes, and seek to conquer universes.
The name of their ship is the Excelsior, and there is a Fantastic Four ship entering the MCU in the tag. But I’m not sure they’re the same ship.— Kevin Feige, in an interview with Empire, discussing the post-credits scene and potential ties to The Fantastic Four: First Steps; noting uncertainty whether the ships are the same.
