Disney+ Adds R-Rated ‘Deadpool’ Films, ‘Logan’ to Streaming Service

In a move that will have subscribers lunging for the parental controls, Disney+ announced that “Deadpool,” “Deadpool 2” and “Logan” will be joining the streaming service. The very, very R-rated superhero flicks will make their debut on July 22, dramatically ratcheting up the amount of blood splatter and the number of f-bombs currently available on Disney+.

The Marvel movies were produced by 20th Century Fox as part of that studio’s licensing deal for the X-Men characters. They fall under the Disney umbrella after the company acquired much of 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets in 2019 for $71.3 billion. But Disney was initially wary of putting adult-oriented content on Disney+, preferring to put nothing with a rating above PG-13 on the family-skewing service. Both “Deadpool” films center on a fourth-wall-breaking mercenary, while “Logan” follows an aging Wolverine on one last hurrah.

Disney+ gained 7.9 million paid customers in the first three months of 2022, bringing its global total to 137.7 million. That impressive figure comes as other streaming rivals such as Netflix have lost subscribers. But the service has faced headwinds. Last month, Disney lost out to the Viacom18 group in its bid to retain streaming and television rights to the Indian Premier League for the next five years, which analysts think could lead to subscriber losses.

The additions of “Deadpool,” “Deadpool 2,” and “Logan” make Disney+ the unrivaled destination for all things superhero. The company not only offers all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, but it has augmented those offerings by launching streaming shows centered on characters such as Loki, Hawkeye, the Scarlet Witch and Vision.

In announcing the addition of the Deadpool films and Wolverine’s darkest adventure, Disney said “subscribers are invited to revisit their parental controls settings to ensure a viewing experience most suitable for them and their family.” In other words, adjust them or be prepared for some awkward dinner table conversations.

Logan is always worth a watch, I cannot recommend that movie enough. It's up there with my favourite Marvel movies, Jackman is so good in that grizzled Wolverine role

Logan

 

[Apoho Creed]

Pretty sure we have a What If Thread already made once they drop Trailers for the Shows I'll make a Thread for it if someone else doesn't make one first. Loving what I'm seeing so far Marvel thank you!​

 

[Cwalker]

I’m looking forward to the X-Men continuation considering I just rewatched the original show.

And it’ll be interesting since they’re already leaked that Magneto will be leading the X-men in this new series.

18 episodes seems a lot these days for a series.

It's been on the French Disney+ for a year

May and November 2025

Had to have known Secret Wars was coming. I’m guessing it will be the end of Phase 5 with F4 kicking off Phase 6

 

[Apoho Creed]

Kang is going to be great and the Avengers Team to take him on will be interesting to see. Secret Wars come on now loved that as a Kid from the Comics we can bring back anyone from our Heroes side. As for Villains that should be interesting who is on that side because we haven't had too many that have survived but we might plenty of them by that time and with the Multiverse too time oh boy.

 

[Cwalker]

Yeah the whole concept of the multiverse gives Marvel an out for killing off 90% of their villains.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Brolin comes back as Thanos or they get Fassbender from the Fox movies to reprise his role as Magneto.

But we’ve got 3 years before we get their. I’m sure a lot more options will be introduced by the time we get there

 

[Deezy]

Just seen the Wakanda Forever trailer....someone was cutting onions.

 

[Y2Jayne]

They could bring back a lot of the actors from the last two X-Men movies into the MCU, but I don't think I'm ready for a new Wolverine.

I just love Hugh so damn much #NoHomo

No the avengers films are the end of phase 6 and the Multiverse saga.
