How To Watch Deadpool & Wolverine At Home
America's long wait — nay, make that the world's long wait — is finally over, because Dogpool is finally coming home. "Deadpool & Wolverine" certainly lived up to all those sky-high expectations as a cameo-laden, multiversal romp (perhaps a bit too much, as /Film's Chris Evangelista laid out in his review), but it also proved to be exactly the hit at the box office that theaters so desperately needed. That record-smashing success explains why the blockbuster remained exclusively on the big screen for as long as it has. (My local AMC, for instance, still carries multiple "Deadpool & Wolverine" showtimes a day, even while carving out space for all the other big-budget offerings that have released in the weeks and months since.) Well, even the most profitable things must come to an end at some point, as the saying (kind of) goes, and that includes billion-dollar grossing superhero movies too.
That's not to say that "Deadpool & Wolverine" and its money-making days are behind it, mind you. Far from it! The Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman team-up extravaganza is merely headed for the next stage of its capitalist journey, and that is its impending release on home media. Disney and Marvel Studios have officially announced that the titular fan-favorite frenemies arrived on digital platforms such as Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango on October 1, 2024.
But wait, there's more! The Mouse House's recent trend of throwing its muscle behind physical releases when it's financially profitable (you might be $en$ing a theme here) continues, as "Deadpool & Wolverine" also got a 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on October 22.

But when will you see "Deadpool & Wolverine" streaming on Disney+? You'll have to keep reading to find out exactly when, however. Hey, we've got bills to pay, too, you know.
Deadpool & Wolverine is already available on home media
After months of nerds geeking out in multiplexes across the globe, the biggest superhero movie of 2024 is coming home to a screen nearest you — and there are all sorts of goodies coming along for the ride. If you thought the returns of (spoiler alert, for anyone who's been living under a rock this past year) Wesley Snipes as Blade, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and Dafne Keen as X-23 couldn't be topped, well, you've barely seen anything yet.
Disney and Marvel Studios have also revealed that fans are in for a tidal wave of bonus features and extras, along with two gorgeous-looking steelbook covers for the physical media junkies among us that will be both Wolverine- and Deadpool-themed, as well. These features apparently include "a gag reel, deleted scenes, and making-of videos." The physical media release hit shelves on October 22, 2024.

When and where is Deadpool & Wolverine streaming?
If you've been waiting for "Deadpool & Wolverine" to hit Disney+, we have good news. November 12 is when the Marvel Studios movie will arrive on the streaming service. We're not sure if they'll get any of the bonus features that are available on the physical media release, but there's a chance that something could make it into their library. At this time, it seems like the filmmaker commentary with director Shawn Levy and writer, producer and star Ryan Reynolds will be included on Disney+, so keep an eye out for that.
Don't forget that this movie is R-rated, so you might have to play with your parental controls if you don't want the kids to hear any of the Merc with a Mouth's naughty words, or if you want to enjoy it yourself without the kids stumbling on it.
