Disney has announced the streaming release of its box-office smash, Deadpool and Wolverine, on Disney Plus. Fans won’t have to wait long—the movie will be available starting November 12, just three and a half months after its theatrical debut, providing a quick turnaround for viewers eager to rewatch at home.
The film, though technically more of a legacy FOX project, stands as 2024’s only MCU release and has made waves by breaking records. It now ranks as the highest-grossing R-rated film in history, with $1.33 billion in global earnings, and claims the title of the seventh highest-earning MCU movie. Here’s a look at the top-grossing films in the MCU:
- Avengers: Endgame – $2.79 billion
- Avengers: Infinity War – $2.05 billion
- Spider-Man: No Way Home – $1.95 billion
- The Avengers – $1.52 billion
- Avengers: Age of Ultron – $1.4 billion
- Black Panther – $1.34 billion
- Deadpool and Wolverine – $1.33 billion
- Iron Man 3 – $1.26 billion
- Captain America: Civil War – $1.15 billion
- Spider-Man: Far From Home – $1.132 billion
- Captain Marvel – $1.131 billion
The MCU list, dominated by Avengers films and crossovers like Civil War and No Way Home, reflects the franchise's knack for weaving together fan-favorite characters. Deadpool and Wolverine made its mark by drawing on the iconic popularity of Wolverine and Deadpool—no surprise given their combined fanbase. And though Captain Marvel hit high numbers with $1.13 billion, its follow-up, The Marvels, didn’t achieve the same success, earning only $206 million.
Looking ahead, Disney has lined up Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four for 2025, giving Deadpool and Wolverine the solo spotlight in 2024. It’s hard to predict if any of these upcoming releases will hit the billion-dollar mark, though Fantastic Four has strong potential. Brave New World, which features a new Captain America, and Thunderbolts, with its lineup of lesser-known antiheroes, may face greater challenges at the box office.
For now, fans can mark November 12 as the date Deadpool and Wolverine hits Disney Plus, ready to bring the excitement home once again.
