“Deadpool & Wolverine” is playing in theaters.
After one week at the box office, Deadpool & Wolverine is already slated to become the second-biggest film of 2024 behind Inside Out 2. If you’re wondering when the MCU film will be streaming Disney+, discover how long you’ll likely need to wait to watch Deadpool & Wolverine at home.
As of August 3, the R-rated superhero sequel surpassed Deadpool 2’s entire domestic earnings. By the end of the weekend of August 4, the film will officially become the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever in the U.S./Canada, according to Deadline.
Deadpool & Wolverine is the third film in the Deadpool franchise and the first to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Disney’s $71.3 billion acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019. The movie, directed by Shawn Levy, reunites Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. The Australian actor played the mutant in nine X-Men franchise films over almost 25 years, most recently in 2017’s Logan.
The sequel is the first MCU movie to be rated R. (The first two Deadpool movies released by 20th Century Fox were rated R, but this is the first for Marvel Studios since the franchise moved under Disney.) Deadpool & Wolverine has received positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, earning a solid 78% critics score and an impressive 96% audience score.
When Will Deadpool & Wolverine Be Streaming On Disney+?

Disney+ has not yet announced a release date for Deadpool & Wolverine. Due to the film’s ongoing box office success, it probably won’t be available on Disney’s streaming platform for at least three months, meaning the movie might be released in late October 2024 or later.
Marvel Studios tends to release films on Disney+ more quickly if they underperform at the box office. For example, the 2023 flop The Marvels premiered in theaters in November 2023 and was available on Disney+ in under three months, by February 7.
Last year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 both had 60-day exclusive theatrical release windows and each arrived on Disney+ exactly three months after their theatrical debuts.
To watch Deadpool & Wolverine when it eventually arrives on Disney+, viewers must sign up for a subscription to the streaming platform. Plans start at $7.99 per month for the basic option (with ads). Currently, Disney+ does not provide a free trial. However, the service offers a bundle option with existing subscriptions to ESPN+ or Hulu.

You can purchase and rent the film earlier on digital VOD platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and YouTube TV, typically within 45 to 65 days after its theatrical premiere. This timeline means that Deadpool & Wolverine could be available digitally as early as September 9, 2024.
