‘X-Men’ Is Now on Disney+

No doubt about it—the summer 2020 movie season has been a bummer. To liven things up for everyone stuck at home, though, Disney+ launched Summer Movie Nights. The lineup included major new additions to the streaming service every single week, and that continues with the arrival of X-Men on Disney+.

The very first X-Men movie kinda created the blockbuster as we know it today, as it was a major game-changer where superhero movies—especially Marvel movies—are concerned. Now you can stream it on Disney+! But which other X-Men movies can you stream on Disney+? And which other streaming service has the most X-movies?

Is X-Men on Disney+?

Uh—it is now! This groundbreaking franchise-starter made its Disney+ debut as part of the platform’s Summer Movie Nights lineup. And if you’re thinking to yourself, “Hey, wasn’t this movie just on HBO Max?”—well, you’re right! The Fox/Marvel/Disney/HBO movie rights are messier than the X-Men timeline. Don’t try to figure them out. Just be glad that you can now watch Hugh Jackman’s first turn as Wolverine on Disney+.

Which other X-Men movies are on Disney+?

X-Men isn’t the only mutant movie streaming on Disney+. As part of Disney’s summer blockbuster movie series, two other X-movies have been added to the service: 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past and 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse. But what about the other X-Men movies? There are a lot of them!

Which X-Men movies are on HBO Max?

Disney+ isn’t the only streaming service with access to Xavier’s. You can currently stream two X-Men feature films on HBO Max. They are: 2011’s X-Men: First Class and 2019’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Yeah—the first and last films in the prequel quadrilogy are available to stream on HBO Max. You have to have Disney+ in order to watch the middle two. Why? Who knows! Streaming rights are complicated!

Are more X-Men movies coming to Disney+?

Yes! The Wolverine (2013) will be added to Disney+ on September 4.

As of now, there don’t seem to be plans to add X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) or Logan (2017) to Disney+ or HBO Max. And for right now, the same goes for the rest of the X-canon:  X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, Deadpool and Deadpool 2.
