Good news, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania fans… Well, assuming there are any out there among the rabid army of haters that have ensured the super-shrinking threequel has gone down as the MCU’s most-hated movie. As of April 18, the Paul Rudd vehicle is officially available on digital, but unfortunately the film’s home release is proving to be just as controversy-courting as its theatrical run thanks to social media filling up with endless instances of the exact same question.
Here’s the issue: while Quantumania is out on digital, it has yet to make its streaming debut, with Disney Plus not even announcing when we can expect to see it on the Mouse House’s platform. The studio’s radio silence on the matter is only infuriating folks who are desperate to watch it for no additional cost from the comfort of their own couch, so naturally Disney Plus is being bombarded with demands for answers on Twitter.
Marvel fans need a constant stream of new MCU content to make the subscription worth it.
Others noticed that Marvel is breaking a rather unwanted record with this one.
Let’s hope this isn’t a precedent being set here (although after Black Panther: Wakanda Forever also took an age to arrive on streaming, it might well be).
In previous cases, Disney Plus has always announced when a Marvel Studios movie is about to drop about a month before the due date, so at the earliest Quantumania won’t be coming to streaming until late May. That means fans desperate to see the movie again — for masochistic reasons, we can only assume — will have to either sit tight and wait or else fork out to rent or buy it on digital.
