Deadpool & Wolverine streams on Disney+ starting November 12, following its box office success as the highest-grossing R-rated film.
Marvel Studios has once again captured the attention of audiences with the much-anticipated film "Deadpool & Wolverine." This summer, the movie brought together the star power of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, aiming to provide a refreshing escape from the superhero fatigue that many viewers have been feeling. The film quickly soared to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, and now, it is set to make its streaming debut on Disney+.
For those who missed the chance to see "Deadpool & Wolverine" in theaters, this is a perfect opportunity to enjoy the film from the comfort of your own home. Directed by Shawn Levy, known for his work on "Free Guy" and "Night at the Museum," the movie cleverly situates its story after the events of "Deadpool," "Deadpool 2," and "Logan." The plot follows Wade Wilson, also known as Deadpool, whose life is turned upside down when the Time Variance Authority (TVA) interferes. In a bid to save his universe, Deadpool enlists the help of a non-dead Wolverine, leading to a series of chaotic and entertaining events.
Despite being a sequel, "Deadpool & Wolverine" has made a significant impact at the box office, second only to Disney-Pixar's "Inside Out 2" in terms of theatrical releases this year. Audiences have responded positively, with a remarkable 94 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, critics have been a bit more reserved, giving the film a 78 percent rating. Some reviews have pointed out that the film seems to lose some of its edge, suggesting that without a major studio franchise to parody, Deadpool becomes just another part of the Marvel universe. Nevertheless, the film is packed with entertainment, making it easy for viewers to overlook its flaws.
As of October 1, "Deadpool & Wolverine" became available for purchase on various video-on-demand platforms, including Prime Video and Apple TV, for $19.99. It will also be available for rent at a later date. For those eager to stream the film, it is set to debut on Disney+ on November 12. This decision to include an R-rated film on a family-friendly platform like Disney+ has raised eyebrows, as most R and PG-13 films from Disney subsidiaries typically appear on Hulu. However, since Disney+ is the home for all Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films and shows, it makes sense for "Deadpool & Wolverine" to join the lineup.
For those who are not yet Disney+ subscribers, the service recently increased its subscription prices. Monthly subscriptions now start at $9.99, with an option to bundle Hulu for just $10.99 per month. This bundle offers significant savings compared to purchasing each service separately. Additionally, Verizon Fios and Verizon Wireless customers can take advantage of special offers that provide free or discounted access to Disney+ Premium.
"Deadpool & Wolverine" is not just another superhero movie; it is a fun and chaotic ride that has resonated with audiences. As it prepares to make its streaming debut, fans can look forward to enjoying the film from home. Whether you are a long-time Marvel fan or new to the franchise, this film promises to deliver an entertaining experience that is sure to keep you engaged. So mark your calendars for November 12 and get ready to dive into the wild world of Deadpool and Wolverine!
