Is ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ On Netflix?
After making over $2 billion at the box office, it seems like most people have seen “Avengers: Infinity War” by now, but understandably, they want to see it all again. It isn’t on any streaming service yet, but it is coming to Netflix soon.
“Avengers: Infinity War” will hit Netflix on Dec. 25, so it’ll be a merry Christmas for Marvel fans. Netflix announced the arrival on Twitter with a Thanos gif.
The film kicks off with the Avengers fractured after the events of “Captain America: Civil War,” but they all join the fight when Thanos (Josh Brolin) is after the Infinity Stones. The gems will make him the most powerful being in the universe, and he wants to destroy half of all lifeforms. His plan makes nearly every Marvel hero — from the Avengers to the Guardians of the Galaxy to Doctor Strange — take action. The movie ends with a big cliffhanger that will have to be resolved in “Avengers 4” (which is still untitled), due out May 3.
Don’t expect to see “Avengers: Infinity War” streaming on Hulu, Amazon Prime or any other streaming service. New Disney movies are going strictly to Netflix, but not for much longer.
Variety reports that the epic action movie will be among the last MCU films to hit Netflix. The company’s deal with Disney, which owns Marvel Studios, will end in 2020, but the streaming service doesn’t even have rights to 2019 films. That means “Infinity War” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp” are the last Marvel Cinematic Universe films that Netflix has rights to. A streaming date for the latter hasn’t been announced yet.
Disney is ending their deal with Netflix to launch their own streaming service, Disney+, which will have even more content for Avengers fans. Tom Hiddleston seemed to confirm earlier this month that a limited series around Loki, the god of mischief, is on the way. Other reports indicate that a Scarlet Witch series starring Elizabeth Olsen is also in the works while Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie are likely to star in a Winter Soldier and Falcon project.
