It’s time to set your parental controls – Deadpool, and Logan are heading to Disney Plus.
Although not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe just yet, Deadpool and Wolverine are making their Disney Plus debut as Marvel puts all its eggs in one basket.
After Disney purchased 20th Century Fox back in 2019, it was only a matter of time… now, Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan will appear on Disney Plus in the US on July 22, 2022.
Deadpool tells the story of Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) – a former special ops soldier who becomes a mercenary after being subjected to a rogue experiment… the same one that created Wolverine.
Brought to the big screen thanks to Reynolds himself, it was a major hit for Fox. Deadpool 2 follows the story with a time-traveling tale that introduces some of the coolest X-Men characters to the big screen.
Meanwhile, Logan brings a stirring end to Hugh Jackman’s run as Wolverine – the tale of an older, grizzled Wolverine who comes out of hiding to help a girl with extraordinary powers. The addition of these 18-rated films to Disney Plus is a bold move… but not unexpected.
The films have long been available on other streaming services, but now Marvel’s dedicated brand page on the Disney Plus service will be the home to one of the biggest Marvel collections online. It remains to be seen which other Fox/Marvel movies will head to the service.
Hilariously, Disney is even offering free chimichangas to celebrate.
“Fans heading to San Diego Comic-Con can pick up a free mini chimichanga, a.k.a. Deadpool’s favorite word to say, while supplies last,” read the official announcement. “Disney+’s Deadpool chimichanga truck will be available at Seaport Village at the corner of Kettner and S Embarcadero in San Diego from 12-5pm PT on Friday, July 22, and Saturday, July 23.”
