‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ streaming release date revealed

WASHINGTON — After breaking box office records, “Deadpool and Wolverine” will be available to stream on Disney Plus in just a matter of days. 

Marvel’s smash hit was one of the defining movies of the summer and became the best-selling R-rated movie of all time in just over 23 days. 

Now you’ll be able to stream it at home on Disney Plus starting Tuesday, Nov. 12. 

The announcement was revealed Wednesday as part of a sizzle reel Marvel put together teasing some of its upcoming projects for 2024 and 2025 including “Daredevil: Born Again,” “Ironheart” and “Wonder Man.”  

During its debut weekend in North America, “Deadpool and Wolverine” made a staggering $205 million. 

It’s been available to rent and buy on digital since Oct. 1.

The success is also an important moment for Marvel Studios, which has had several high-profile disappointments lately; Most notably in “The Marvels” which opened to an MCU low of $47 million last November.

Marvel’s savior came in the form of two characters who got their start outside of the MCU. Both Deadpool and Wolverine, played by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, existed previously under the 21st Century Fox banner which for two decades had the rights to Marvel characters like the “X-Men” and “Fantastic Four.” That changed when Disney acquired the studio’s film and TV assets in early 2019 and plans started to take shape of how all these characters would fit into Kevin Feige’s MCU. In some cases, as with “Fantastic Four,” Marvel Studios is starting fresh. With “Deadpool & Wolverine,” directed by Shawn Levy, the stars were as crucial as their characters.
