We'll all fly away together... onto Disney Plus

When will Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 land on Disney Plus? That's a question we suspect you've asked yourself since the Marvel movie arrived in theaters in May.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's Disney Plus release date was confirmed on Tuesday, July 18. The superhero movie will make its proper streaming debut on Wednesday, August 2, almost exactly three months after its original theatrical release.
After a few box office duds – Ant-Man 3 and Thor: Love and Thunder, we're looking at you – in the past year, Marvel needed a big theatrical win. Luckily for the studio, Guardians 3 provided the goods, with James Gunn's final MCU film earning $844 million at the box office (per Box Office Mojo).
Why was Guardians 3's performance in theaters important? Given it continued to sell tickets, Marvel wasn't in a rush to remove it from theaters and release it on Disney's main streaming service. Why release it for free (to Disney Plus subscribers, that is) if it continued to make cash across the globe?
Recently, Guardians 3 has had a bunch of highly anticipated new movies to contend with, though. Mission Impossible 7, Oppenheimer, and Barbie have all been released in July, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in the process. With cinemagoers likely to watch one of these movies instead in the coming weeks, Guardians 3's theatrical lifecycle has come to an end, hence its forthcoming launch on Disney Plus.
So, when could Guardians of the Galaxy 3 descend on Disney Plus? As we said in our original introduction, we think it'll be August.
Marvel films used to have a 45-day exclusivity period in theaters before they dropped on Disney's main streamer. However, the last two MCU movies – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Ant-Man 3 – didn't debut on the platform until three months after their theatrical debuts. If this 90-day exclusivity period is the new time frame between a Marvel movie launching in theaters and them coming on Disney Plus, Guardians 3 wouldn't land on one of the world's best streaming services until early August at the very earliest.
The only thing that might change that is the writers' strike, which is (at the time of writing) dominating the entertainment industry news cycle.
For those unfamiliar with the industrial action: members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are striking over pay and job security issues, meaning no new TV shows or movies are being written for TV networks or streaming platforms. You can read more about what's going on in our article about Netflix users cancelling their subscriptions amid the growing writers' strike feud.
With Secret Invasion now on Disney Plus (read our Secret Invasion review while you're here), and Loki season 2 and Echo set to arrive before the end of 2023, Marvel won't be immediately impacted by the strike action. However, if Disney and its subsidiaries (including Marvel Studios) start to run out of new content for Disney's streaming services, including Disney Plus and Hulu, they could decide to release Guardians of the Galaxy 3 earlier than expected. That might mean the latest entry in our best Marvel movies guide releases in July, which we wouldn't complain about.
The only potential spanner in the works about a July launch is the fact that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is coming to digital storefronts during that month. The movie will land on Apple TV, YouTube, the Amazon store, and other rent/buy platforms on July 7. If Marvel wants to make a quick buck from those services before it releases the film on Disney Plus, we won't see Guardians 3 join the streamer's movie library next month.
