Just over three months after its release in the theaters, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania will finally be coming to Disney+.
The third installment in the Ant-Man franchise, Quantumania featured the return of Paul Rudd as the titular character and properly introduced Jonathan Majors as Kang of the Conqueror, the next big Marvel universal threat.

While Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantuamania was released with big expectations, the film failed to resonate with critics or audiences.
Disappointing Box Office Results
Although not expected to match the returns of more lucrative franchises like Black Panther or Thor, the film’s $400 million dollar return was still disappointing for both Marvel and Disney.

The paltry numbers, combined with a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 47%, have led both Disney and Marvel to rethink their strategy when it comes to the future of the MCU.
Delayed Streaming Release
Unlike other recent Marvel releases, when Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania was released on digital platforms on April 18, 2023, the film did not appear on Disney+.

This differentiated from the digital releases of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Thor: Love and Thunder. Both of those films landed on Disney+ right away when digital sales began.

Some Hollywood insiders have suggested that Disney was hoping to increase Quantumania‘s revenue by giving the film a “digital purchase only” window.
When Will Quantumania Hit Disney+
Finally, Disney has announced that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will land on Disney+ on May 17. Marvel fans waiting for the film to come to streaming will finally get to see the third Ant-Man release.
It is also interesting to note that the film will be released on Blu-ray and DVD, one day prior, on May 16.
