Since hitting theaters in late July, Deadpool and Wolverine soared to become the second-highest grosser of 2024. The movie has made over $1.2 billion internationally. Considering that this film was eagerly awaited, its success should not come as a surprise.
Deadpool and Wolverine are now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after appearing in films created by 20th Century Fox such as Deadpool, and X Men following Disney's acquisition of the studio, in 2017.

When will Deadpool and Wolverine be streaming?
**Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that the information shared here is speculative and hasn't been officially confirmed.**
According to rumors, Wolverine and Deadpool could arrive on streaming platforms as early as October.
Since the film has become a big hit, predicting its streaming debut can be a tricky task. Usually, movies from 20th Century Studios take about 89 days to go from theaters to OTT.
The First Omen and The Marvels followed the 89-day timeframe. If Deadpool & Wolverine follow suit, it should be available by October 2nd.
Disney+ will be the first subscription streaming service to make Deadpool and Wolverine available, despite being an R-rated 20th Century Studios release.
The reason it's not going to Hulu, like some other movies, is that Disney wants all its Marvel titles in one place. So, when Deadpool & Wolverine becomes available to stream, it'll join other R-rated Marvel movies like Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan on Disney+.
What is Deadpool and Wolverine about?
Six years have passed since the events of Deadpool 2 when Deadpool and Wolverine first met. As per the current movie’s storyline, Deadpool is now enjoying a calm, regular life after hanging up his superhero outfit. His quiet retirement is short-lived, though, as he is called back in for a new assignment by the Time Variance Authority. He feels compelled to work with Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine.
Shawn Levy calls the shots for the two-hour, seven-minute film. Here is the main cast for your information: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Karan Soni, Leslie Uggams, and Matthew MacFadyen.
Can the release of the movie on online streaming platforms be delayed?
The success of the film will determine how soon or late Deadpool & Wolverine becomes available on streaming services. For instance, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes hit theaters on May 10 and proceeded to Hulu only on August 2.
Following the reports by Forbes, if Deadpool and Wolverine follows the same path, the release date for the movie might get delayed and fans might be able to stream it on Disney+ not earlier than October 25.
The film's box office performance has been really impressive, having hit the number one spot (in the US) even on its fifth weekend. Therefore there is room for Deadpool & Wolverine's streaming release being delayed. There is some speculation that we might have to wait until November or even December to watch it on OTT if the executives decide to wait.
Once released the movie will be available to stream on Disney+.
