Marvel Studios has finally announced when Deadpool & Wolverine will be streaming on Disney+. 2024 was one of the biggest years for Marvel Studios, following a few struggles in 2023 for the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline. Not only did Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson make his way into the MCU, but Deadpool & Wolverine, also featuring Hugh Jackman back as the beloved X-Men hero, became one of the biggest box office winners of the year.
Disney+ recently unveiled a new Marvel Studios sizzle reel confirming multiple releases for upcoming Marvel TV shows on the platform. However, the streaming service also gave the last big remaining update for Deadpool & Wolverine, with the Phase 5 movie officially starting streaming on Disney+ as of Tuesday, November 12.
The sizzle reel for the Marvel TV shows includes brand new looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, What If...? season 3, Wonder Man, as well as the new animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Eyes of Wakanda, and Marvel Zombies. While Deadpool & Wolverine was the only MCU theatrical release for 2024, 2025 will be a different story, as multiple films are set to arrive for both Phases 5 and 6.
What This Means For Deadpool & Wolverine
Following Deadpool & Wolverine debuting nearly four months ago, Marvel Studios have taken a longer time to get the release out on Disney+, as they continued its theatrical run while passing additional milestones at the worldwide box office. At the time of this story's publication, Deadpool & Wolverine has already hit Digital Download, while its home media release happened on October 22. But for audience members who prefer their MCU content through Disney+, November 12 will mark the end of a considerable waiting period.
At the same time, it makes sense why Marvel Studios waited as long as they did for Deadpool & Wolverine to land a Disney+ release date. From its critical reception about the overall story to all the Marvel cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine, the Phase 5 movie became a big cinematic event for 2024, bringing more people back into theaters. However, with that in mind, it will still be fascinating to see how Deadpool & Wolverine performs on Disney+, especially worldwide, and whether future upcoming MCU releases will mirror this release time frame.
Our Take On Deadpool & Wolverine's Disney+ Release Date
If Deadpool & Wolverine is any indicator, should future MCU films like The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts in 2025 face similar success, the audience may need to start expecting the same amount of waiting whenever those movies hit Disney+. It might also show that Disney, in general, is trying to get people to move away from the idea of skipping seeing something in theaters only to be able to see it on Disney+ a month later. But thankfully, as of November 12, there will be even more opportunity available for audiences to watch and relive Deadpool & Wolverine.
