Deadpool & Wolverine Streaming Release: What to Expect
After smashing R-rated box office records, fans are eager to know when Deadpool & Wolverine will be available for streaming.
Since 2019, Disney+ has been the go-to streaming platform for Marvel Studios, including the X-Men and Deadpool. This means the MCU’s first R-rated movie will soon be on Disney+.
With Deadpool & Wolverine now grossing over $1.2 billion worldwide, it’s the highest-earning R-rated film ever. However, fans might wait longer for it to stream on Disney+ than for past releases, like 2023’s The Marvels.
When Will Deadpool 3 Be on Disney+?
Disney+ has been adding Marvel movies roughly 89 days after their release, with some variations:
- Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – 70 days
- Eternals – 68 days
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – 47 days
- Thor: Love and Thunder – 62 days
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – 82 days
- Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania – 89 days
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – 89 days
- The Marvels – 89 days
If Deadpool & Wolverine follows this trend, it could stream on Disney+ around October 23. But, due to its massive success, the streaming release might be pushed to November or even December.
The movie’s strong box office performance has kept it at the top spot in the U.S. for five weekends, showing strong word-of-mouth and fan interest. This reminds us of how Barbie and Oppenheimer dominated the summer box office in 2023, delaying Barbie’s streaming release to 147 days after its theater debut.
Given Deadpool & Wolverine’s success, a similar delay wouldn’t be surprising, possibly making it a December or Christmas release on Disney+.
When Will Deadpool & Wolverine Be Available Online?
It might take some time for Deadpool & Wolverine to appear on Disney+, but fans could watch it sooner on digital platforms.
Disney is expected to announce its plans for the movie’s digital release soon. Platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and Apple TV could offer the film as early as October 2, based on Marvel’s recent releases like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels, which went digital 68 days after theaters.
However, if Deadpool & Wolverine keeps performing well in theaters, Disney might push this date back to November, staying true to their typical release strategy.
