Where to Watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever:

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is being released into theaters starting November 11. You can find showtimes for a theater near you on Fandago.

When Will Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Be on Disney+?

Although Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is not streaming on Disney+ on November 11, chances are it should be there sooner, rather than later. Marvel movies tend to stream on the service anywhere from 45 days later, to a few months later, with streaming dates TBA depending on the movie’s performance. For example, Thor: Love and Thunder was released in theaters on July 8, 2022 and was available to stream on Disney + beginning September 8 — slightly delayed to time out with this year’s Disney+ Day celebrations. On the other hand, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was released in theaters on May 6, 2022 and arrived on Disney+ 45 days later, on June 20. The other little caveat is that Disney usually likes to time the movie releases out with one of their big streaming days — Wednesday for new shows, Friday for movies.

Given this, it’s possible Black Panther: Wakanda Forever could start streaming on Friday, December 30, just in time for New Year’s Eve. Alternately, if Disney wants to release it a little earlier, the movie could hit 44 days later, on December 25 as a Christmas surprise. Or, if the movie is performing extremely well in theaters, as expected, it’s possible the movie could be released for streaming outside of the 45 day window, some time in January, 2023.

Short version, expect Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to hit Disney+ at the earliest end of December, 2022, and latest some time in January, 2023.

Will Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Be on HBO Max?

Unfortunately, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will not be released onto HBO Max, as it is a Disney movie and not a Warner Bros. film. Traditionally, Warner Bros. movies are usually released onto the streaming service, with Don’t Worry Darling coming to the platform next week.

Is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Streaming on Netflix?

Sadly, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will not be streaming on Netflix and will only be available to stream on Disney+ after its theatrical run.
