In late September 2022, star Ryan Reynolds released a video on Twitter announcing the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and how he will make his MCU debut in Deadpool 3. The video also officially revealed that Deadpool 3 is coming to theaters on November 8, 2024 after it was pushed back from Sept. 6, 2024, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Disney+ have added several MCU movies on its library before, so it's possible to that the company will eventually add X-Men, Fantastic Four, and any other future Marvel films to its streaming service after they're released in theaters.

However, unlike most Marvel movies and TV shows, the Deadpool movies are famous for its R-rated mature themes, violence, harsh language, and sexual content, and Disney+ is known for its family-friendly titles.

While most of the Marvel titles on the streaming are rated PG-13 or TV-14, Disney updated its user profiles to allow R-rated and TV-MA content to stream on select Disney+ accounts in 2022.

This change to allow more mature content on Disney+ opened the gateway for Netflix's old Marvel shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones, which was made available to stream in their original, unedited forms.

On July 22, 2022, Disney+ added all three of the R-rated X-Men films: Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan. In order to stream these titles, users are required to update their accounts to allow adult content to their profiles. However, some parts of the Deadpool movies were reportedly censored on Disney+.

Since the first two Deadpool movies made it to Disney+, there's a chance that we could see Deadpool 3 arrive on the streaming service despite its expected R-rated nature, but as of the time of this writing, they haven't announced any plans to release it on Disney+.

Disney and Marvel Studios haven't officially confirmed any plans to release Deadpool 3 on Disney+ but if the film hits theaters in September 2024 without any delays, it'll likely be available to stream on the platform months after its theatrical release, so if officially confirmed, expect it to arrive on Disney+ in early to mid 2025.

For now, you can check out the streamer's list of upcoming movies and TV shows in November 2022.

Yes! Deadpool 3 will officially be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, who confirmed to Collider back in January 2021. Feige also confirmed that the sequel will keep its R-rating, and sisters Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux are working hard on the script.

“It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan’s overseeing a script right now… It will not be [filming] this year. Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life.”

With recent news about Jackman's involvement, this also means that Wolverine will be making his MCU debut in Deadpool 3.
