Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania premiered in theaters last Friday. The film, which stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Jonathan Majors, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Douglas, earned an estimated $144 million in domestic box office sales — the best debut of any of Marvel’s three Ant-Man films to date.
The inaugural film in “Phase Five” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the 31st film in the franchise as a whole, has a lot of speculation, debate, and questions not only regarding the the film’s multiversal genius antagonist Kang the Conqueror (played by Jonathan Majors), but regarding the future of the MCU as a whole.

Disney has announced Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will debut on Disney Plus May 17. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is currently available for digital purchase on Amazon and Vudu.
Disney announced in August 2021 that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings would not receive a same-day streaming debut on Disney Plus Premier Access like its predecessor, 2021’s Black Widow. Instead, Chapek announced that the film would arrive on Disney Plus 45 days after its theatrical debut. This did not exactly pan out — as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings came to Disney Plus on Nov. 12, 2022, 70 days following its theatrical premiere.
Since then, every subsequent entry in the MCU (with the exception of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home) has followed this same approximate pattern, with each film on average arriving on Disney Plus roughly two and a half months after its theatrical premiere. Eternals came to Disney Plus on Jan. 12, 2022, 68 days after its 2021 theatrical debut; 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness came to Disney Plus on June 22, 2022, 47 days after its theatrical debut; 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder came to Disney Plus on Sept. 8, 2022, 62 days after its theatrical debut; and 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever came to Disney Plus on Feb. 1, 2023, 82 days after its theatrical debut.
Quantumania is one of the longest delays of the bunch yet, with 89 days between its theatrical debut and its Disney Plus streaming debut.
