Earlier this year, Disney+ expanded its parental controls as Marvel series that were previously on Netflix joined the streaming service. Now, in a similar move, three R-rated Marvel titles will begin streaming on Disney+ in the U.S.
What’s Happening:
- Starting July 22nd, Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan will all be available to stream on Disney.
- Not only were all three films originally released by 20th Century Fox prior to Disney’s acquisition of the brand’s assets but all three are also rated R.
- As a result, Disney is reminding subscribers to revisit their parental controls settings “to ensure a viewing experience most suitable for them and their family.”
- You can find more details on how these parental controls work and how to adjust yours in our guide.
- Meanwhile, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter to announce the news while poking fun at Disney (per usual).
- The release of the films will also be celebrated at San Diego Comic-Con, which is happening right now.
- Fans headed to SDCC can pick up a free mini chimichanga while supplies last. Disney+’s Deadpool chimichanga truck will be available at Seaport Village at the corner of Kettner and S Embarcadero in San Diego from 12-5pm PT on Friday, July 22nd and Saturday, July 2rd3.
