BEST NON-STREAMING OPTION Buy 'Deadpool & Wolverine' on Prime Video $19.99
Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine reunited the star power of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman this summer, attempting to save us from chronic superhero fatigue. It quickly became the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time — and now it's headed to the small screen.
If you missed out on Marvel's most outrageous superhero's latest shenanigans in the theater, now's your chance to catch the movie from the comfort of your couch. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Deadpool & Wolverineat home.
What is Deadpool & Wolverine about?
Directed by Shawn Levy, (Free Guy, Night at the Museum), Deadpool & Wolverineuses a bit of reconning to situate its narrative after the events of Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan.It follows Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool (Reynolds), whose existence is threatened when the Time Variance Authority interferes with his life. To save his universe, he hijacks the TVA to call upon a non-dead Wolverine (Jackman) for help. But, as Mashable's Film Editor Kristy Puchko wrote it in her review, "things go from team-up to trouble when Deadpool and his kidnapped Wolverine are pitched into the TVA's wasteland."
Get a sneak peek in the trailer below.
Is Deadpool & Wolverine worth watching?
Second to only Disney-Pixar's Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine's domestic, international, and worldwide box office numbers make it the biggest theatrical release of the year. But, as you probably know, numbers don't always tell the whole story. In this case, audiences not only showed up for the film, but came out of the theaters loving it. On Rotten Tomatoes, it's currently sitting at a 94 percent audience score. Critics, on the other hand, are slightly less enthused. The sequel has just a 78 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Our own reviewer criticized the Disney-fying of Marvel's most outrageous superhero, writing, "It seems without a big studio franchise to fight against or parody, Deadpoolbecomes another cog in the Marvel machine." However, she also adds that "Levy and his team pack so much entertainment into this chaotic movie that it's easy to overlook its rough bits as you're watching."
Is it going to save superhero movies? Probably not. But as Puchko noted, "It's just really fucking fun."

When is Deadpool & Wolverine streaming?
Deadpool & Wolverineis set to make its streaming debut on Nov. 12 on Disney+. It's a bit surprising that an R-rated film will join the library on the family-friendly streamer instead of Hulu (where most R and PG-13 films produced by Disney subsidiaries appear), but since Disney+ is the home to all the other films and shows in the MCU, it only makes sense that Deadpool & Wolverinejoin them.
