BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER's Actual Disney+ Premiere Date Has Seemingly Been Revealed

Following recent reports that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will hit Disney+ on January 20, a listing on the streaming service appears to confirm a very different date...and it's not coming any sooner!

A couple of days ago, a rumour started circulating that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will premiere on Disney+ on January 20. We're still not sure what the source of that was as the streaming service has yet to share any sort of announcement, though The Hollywood Handle claimed to have "confirmed" the news.

Now, it's looking like it was little more than a lucky guess as ComicBook.com has shared a screenshot from the U.S. version of Disney+ that promises a February 1 debut. 

This makes sense as it will be Black History Month, and we're sure that will factor into promoting the emotional Black Panther sequel. Some users are seeing this date on the streamer, while others are not, so it may be best to wait before booking a day off work to watch the movie (with all this online chatter, official news is surely imminent). 

We'd hazard a guess that news of a DVD and Blu-ray release is also on the way, so we should soon learn more about special features, deleted scenes and, hopefully, a Director's Commentary. 

Over the weekend, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever passed $820 million at the worldwide box office. With it now unlikely to hit $1 billion, the sequel can't be considered a disappointment, but it clearly won't reach the same heights as its 2018 predecessor (which grossed over $1.3 billion). You can blame the fallout from the pandemic and Avatar: The Way of Water, among other factors, for that. 

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ranks among Marvel Studios' best movies, and is an emotional, uplifting, tour de force of a blockbuster," we said in our review last year. "Letitia Wright delivers a powerhouse performance, while Angela Bassett’s majestic work will leave you reeling."

Be sure to keep checking back here for updates on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's home entertainment released!

I canceled my D+. Andor was great, but everything else has been mostly a miss for me. Willow was kinda what broke me.

I'm currently only subscribed to Hulu and Peacock for WWE stuff. And Hulu has a lot of stuff I like. I never watched Netflix anymore and the rest I just haven't vibes with.

I'll likely renew D+ for Mando and Ashoka, but I'm completely disinterested in D+ Marvel content. Shows and films.

@marvel72 - I tried to watch Willow, gave it a chance... It just kept getting worse by every episode. When all of sudden two hillbilly women wearing straw hats and denim hillbilly overals showed up (in a fantasy medival setting.. wtf?), in what I guess was suppoused to be a funny scetch/scene but it felt more like a cringy bad improv stage I started to give up - and then they butchered Metallica (in a fantasy medival setting, wtf!?).

@GeneralZod - The only reason I still have it because my wife loves Nat Geo stuff so she keeps it for that reason alone. But she pays for it. I Sure don't.

@TheVandalore - I cancelled my Disney+ a long time ago. Once or twice a month a year is more than enough to watch all the shows I wanna see.

Still have to see Willow and Andor though

The acting is terrible, a forced diverse cast,Men stupid women awesome and they've got to add a lesbian relationship because it wouldn't be like the original if they didn't, it's got be made for modern audiences.if I remember correctly from the review doesn't one of the females want to be a Knight or something like that.The baby in the original movie had red hair but she's blond in the new show.The writing is piss poor.

Utter crap.

It was decent, the first was better imo. I'll rewatch only because of the imax enhanced version, why tf can't they add it to disc's!!

@bobevanz - so you sub to D+, Disney hates physical media, they can't rip it from the service whenever they feel if you own the disc

@AvatarSupremacy - Exactly right and they can censor movies as well, get your shit on Blu-Ray, it's yours forever.

@GeneralZod - Damn this site. Anything to not blame Marvel for their lowered quality, poor writing, woke ideology and MSheU.

Meanwhile Top Gun: Maverick makes nearly 2 billion in worldwide box office far closer to the peak of the Scamdemic than BP2. Also Spider-Man NWH pulls in similar box office to Maverick and that was at the start of Phase 4 TWO years ago..

How much mileage are they going to try to get out of the designer flu.

I'm gonna watch it again to see if I missed anything. I liked this movie.

Plus, at home, I can sit around in my underwear eating ribs & drinking tequila. I tried that at the theater, but it made the movie Gestapo sooo mad.

@DocSpock - The Movie Gestapos are so anal about these things!

So i finally saw it last week. It was very emotional to watch it to say the least. With that said. I found it very meeeeh and mediocre. I think Namor wasn't bad (not sure how comic accurate his attitude was) but i get his logic for wanting to protect his people and do anything for them. Other than the intro to Namor and his people, the movie really didnt do much for me and i found Riri to be super annoying.

I’ve gone right off Disney plus to be honest. The Marvel shows are mostly awful and I own the movies I actually liked. So until the quality of the writing improves to something closer to Netflix and that’s recognised online then I’m tempted to give it a miss.

I wonder if Black Panther 2 was a box office failure because people didn't want to see a lifeless guilt trip movie.

How much money do you guys think Marvel lost the last few years?
ThorArms
ThorArms - 1/3/2023, 11:44 AM
@AvatarSupremacy - Um, none? Only 50 films ever have reached 1 billion yet people think Marvel is in trouble when some of their films don't hit this mark, even though MOST of their films haven't

@AvatarSupremacy - The only division Marvel might, and that’s a big might, have lost money in is the comics division. Movie wise, no franchise in the next couple of decades will catch up to the money machine that is the MCU.

@AvatarSupremacy - I mean that’s not what I said, but clearly reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. It will take decades for another franchise to catch up to the money machine that is the MCU. Re read that, btw, just in case.
