When Will Thor: Love And Thunder Release On Disney+?

Following its exclusive run in theaters, the MCU movie Thor: Love and Thunder will arrive on Disney+ for its streaming release. The sequel premiered in theaters as a box office success but mixed reviews, with Thor: Love and Thunder's domestic box office opening falling behind only those of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Jurassic World Dominion for 2022 releases. Given that this highly anticipated summer blockbuster has such an impressive start to its theatrical run, what is the Thor: Love and Thunder release date on Disney+?

Starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster/Mighty Thor, Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher, Tessa Thompson as King Valkyrie, and Russell Crowe as Zeus, Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder sees the title superhero attempting to find inner peace while stopping Gorr from destroying all gods. Following Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the latest MCU installment takes a step away from exploring the multiverse as the franchise returns to a single-universe adventure (that still included the Guardians of the Galaxy), The fourth Thor movie received more positive reactions from audiences than critics, and this bodes well for its run on streaming. So when does Thor: Love and Thunder come out on Disney+?

The streaming release date of Thor: Love and Thunder on Disney+ has been confirmed as September 8, 2022, which is Disney+ Day. The behind-the-scenes documentary Assembled, detailing the making of the film, will be available at the same time. While 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings waited approximately three months before subscribers could stream it for no additional cost online, the more recent MCU film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness became available on Disney+ only 47 days after its theatrical debut. Since Shang-Chi’s arrival came when Disney was still testing out its theater-to-streaming paradigm, the Doctor Strange sequel's 7-week wait time and now the divisive Thor: Love and Thunder's 9-week window give a more accurate estimate for Marvel's new theater-to-streaming release model.

Will Thor: Love and Thunder Be Free To Watch On Disney+?

Once Thor: Love and Thunder arrives on Disney+, subscribers will be able to stream the MCU movie for free. Disney+ has seemingly shifted away from its Premier Access initiative, which previously allowed subscribers to stream new movies still in theaters for an additional fee. For now, all Disney+ subscribers will be able to stream Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder for free, but it hasn’t been revealed whether this will change once the platform drops its ad-supported subscription tier later in 2022.
