Here’s what we know so far about when the Avatar sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, will hit streaming services. But there is a chance it might land on HBO Max before Disney Plus, based on a previous deal.
Avatar: The Way of Water is already making box office waves (ha). The long-awaited sequel to James Cameron’s 2009 sci-fi blockbuster, The Way of Water is playing in everything from from 3D IMAX to regular 2D and has become a theatrical attraction, having at the time of writing made close to $500 million globally. But if you’re waiting to watch this incredibly long movie from the comfort of your own couch (where you can press pause when you need to use the bathroom), how long will you have to wait?
Disney hasn’t yet announced when Avatar: The Way of Water will be available to stream. For Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, since Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the company has adopted a minimum 45-day window between the theatrical debut and streaming release. If Avatar: The Way of Water follows that pipeline, the earliest it can arrive on the platform is Jan.
