How to stream Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

As of February 1, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is now available to stream on Disney Plus wherever the streaming service is available. 

If you're looking to sign up for Disney Plus, you can simply sign up for the standalone service for either a monthly charge or pay for a full year. If you're in the US, however, there are a couple more options to access the streaming service. This includes signing up for the Disney Bundle, which pairs Disney Plus with Hulu and ESPN Plus for a single monthly fee, or get Disney Plus as a feature of the live TV streaming service Hulu with Live TV.

Or if you just want to pay a one-time fee to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the movie is available to rent via digital on-demand.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is still playing in select movie theaters, so if you prefer to see it on the big screen, there still is that opportunity.

A bit of a tip if you love going to the movies but wish tickets were more affordable, movie theater subscription and membership deals can help with that. These programs, offered by most major US and UK movie theater chains, give consumers discounted, free or a monthly allotment of tickets, as well as special deals on concessions and more to make your trip to the multiplex enjoyable.
