When is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever releasing on Disney Plus?
When is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever coming to Disney Plus? It's a fair question, seeing as recent Marvel releases have seen a short turnaround between hitting theaters and streaming on the service. While there isn't an exact release date for Black Panther 2 just yet, thanks to Disney's pattern of streaming releases, we can take a pretty good guess at when the sequel will be available to watch from the comfort of your own home.
Don't worry – everything below is completely spoiler free, so you can look into what we know about the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Disney Plus release date whether you've seen the film or not.
When is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever releasing on Disney Plus?
First up, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will premiere exclusively in cinemas on November 11. That means, unlike Black Widow, it won’t be available day-and-date on Disney Plus.
So, how long do we have to wait? Past Marvel arrivals on Disney Plus have ranged from 48 days after debuting in cinemas (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) to 69 days (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings). The other two releases, Thor: Love and Thunder and Eternals, came to Disney Plus 62 days and 67 days after their cinema release dates respectively.
While Doctor Strange feels like a bit of an outlier, we should still factor it into proceedings: expect Wakanda Forever to appear on Disney Plus between 45 days and 70 days after its release on November 11.
If that’s the case, it gives a Black Panther: Wakanda Forever streaming release window of late December 2022-January 2023.
Given the long legs the Black Panther sequel will likely have in the box office – and Marvel typically aiming for over 60 days since release before a film goes on Disney Plus – it’s more realistic to suggest that Wakanda Forever will arrive on the streamer in January 2023. While we can’t rule out a Christmas treat, Disney should ring in the New Year by bringing a slice of Wakanda into your homes.
