Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Streaming Updates – When Will It Release On Disney Plus?
With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 nearing its release, it's worth wondering when the film will be available on Disney+. The final entry in James Gunn's cosmic trilogy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 debuts in theaters on May 5, 2023. The movie will be the final chapter for this version of the team, as some stars of the franchise have claimed that the movie will be their last MCU movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is shaping up to a major addition to the MCU, with Will Poulter making his debut as the highly anticipated Adam Warlock. Also joining the MCU in the movie are Linda Cardellini as Lylla the Otter and Chukwudi Iwuji as the villainous High Evolutionary. As a story introducing major Marvel characters while also concluding a long-running saga, it'll no doubt hold an important place in the MCU. Before long, the film will join all the other MCU movies found on Disney+. Every MCU movie, except for Spider-Man's films, heads there after their theatrical run, and the same will be true for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Should Release On Disney+ By July It's still too early to expect Marvel Studios to announce an official date for when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 might release on Disney+. However, the studio's previous practices point to the cosmic team's trilogy finale hitting the streaming service by July. A number of factors are involved when estimating when a new MCU movie will release on Disney+. Those include the movie's success at the box office, which might lead to Marvel deciding to keep it in theaters for a while longer, as well as when other MCU content will come to Disney+. There's also the matter of when the next MCU movie will be released in theaters.
Typically, an MCU movie hits Disney+ before another theatrical MCU movie arrives, but with The Marvels' releasing as late as November, that shouldn't affect any plans for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's Disney+ release. The MCU Phase 4 movies worked with at least a 45-day release window from theaters to Disney+. With MCU films having an average of 65 days before going from theaters to streaming, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 should be on Disney+ by early July. Marvel's most recent movie release, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, broke the parameter by setting a Disney+ release 89 days after it premiered in theaters, the longest theatrical-to-streaming window in Disney+ history. Since it's only happened once, it's unlikely to occur with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
