Are you ready for an MCU marathon? 2019 brought us the culmination of ten years in the cinematic universe withAvengers: Endgame, which you can watch right now on Disney’s newly launched streaming serviceDisney+. But if you want to watch all the movies that got us there, you’re not going to be able to do it on the streaming service… yet.
Why? Mostly, it all goes back to that landmark 2012 deal with Netflix, the then-emerging streaming giant to be. That deal didn’t fully kick off until 2016, when Disney titles started populating the trending ranks on Netflix, but it was destined to be a short one with Disney devising plans for a streaming service of their own. Now, with Disney+ on the market, we’re in what you might call some kind of… endgame.
The Disney/Netflix deal is drawing to a close, but the reigning streaming king still has a hold on a few of Disney’s marquee titles for a little bit longer. There are Pixar gems likeIncredibles 2, and of course, there’sSolo: A Star Wars Story, the only film holding back a completeStar Warsmovie marathon.
But when it comes to the MCU, Netflix still holds the streaming rights to some of Marvel’s latest and the greatest. With that in mind, we’ve put together a full breakdown of all the marvel movies you may watch on Disney+ right now, the upcoming release dates for the Marvel movies still on Netflix, and the MCU movies thatmightnever make it to the new streaming service.
Here are all the MCU movies streaming on Disney+ right now:
As you can see, that’salmosta perfect run before 2017 and after 2018 – excepting, of course,The Incredible Hulkand theSpider-Manmovies, which are both owned by other studios. In fact, Disney+ head of content Ricky Strauss confirmed theyhave “no plans” to get the Tom Holland Spider-Man movieson the streaming service, though he didn’t exactly rule it out. Those films are owned by Sony. As for 2008’sThe Incredible Hulk,that film is a true odd duck in the MCU and the rights are owned by Universal Pictures.
Fortunately, Disney+ already has the information available for when the rest of the MCU stash will be arriving on the service.
