Deadpool and Wolverine Streaming on Disney+: Fans Will Have to Wait.

Despite fans eagerly awaiting Deadpool and Wolverine’s Disney+ debut, a recent update hints that it may not arrive on the platform anytime soon. After Deadpool 3’s record-breaking box office success, surpassing $1.3 billion, it’s clear that the film’s release strategy is setting new records.

Disney+ Schedule Misses Deadpool & Wolverine

While Disney+ unveiled its November lineup, Deadpool and Wolverine were notably absent. This R-rated sensation will soon pass the typical 89-day theater-to-streaming mark on October 23, a timeframe that other MCU hits like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels followed. However, it looks like Deadpool and Wolverine may extend that record with its delayed streaming debut.

Possible Release Timing:

Box office success may be behind this delay, with Deadpool & Wolverine’s $1.3 billion earnings as the highest-grossing R-rated film ever. Blockbusters like Avatar: The Way of Water waited 173 days, and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 took 103 days before streaming, suggesting Deadpool & Wolverine might aim for late November or early December on Disney+. A Thanksgiving release on Wednesday, November 27, is one strong possibility, but fans could even wait until December.

For now, fans will have to stay tuned for Disney’s official announcement, as this highly-anticipated release could shake up Disney+’s R-rated lineup in more ways than one.
