Disney+ has given us everything we could ask for in a streaming platform, from classic animations to beloved Pixar movies. Almost all the Marvel Universe films are available to stream [1] as well, but one important superhero movie still seems to be missing: Black Panther [2]. Luckily, we have an answer regarding its whereabouts, and it's both good and bad.

Disney has announced that Black Panther [3] will be available to stream on March 4. The Disney+ platform teases us a bit, because when you search for the movie, it does pop up and looks available to stream. But instead of a play button, there's a message on the webpage that says it's unavailable due to existing agreements (probably with Netflix, where it is currently streaming [4] until March 3).

You can add the movie to your watchlist so that once it becomes available, it will show up on your homepage. And given Black Panther's mega-success when it was released in 2018, we can only assume its popularity will continue among the millions of Disney+ subscribers. The story follows young king T'Challa, who is challenged with saving his homeland of Wakanda from a ruthless enemy. The film became a cultural phenomenon and marked a major milestone in Hollywood, featuring a predominantly Black cast [5]. It's the first blockbuster superhero film of its kind for Marvel and a positive sign that people of diverse identities are making lasting marks on film media.

For those really in need of a Marvel Studios [6] binge session, there are still a lot of options. Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, and Guardians of the Galaxy are among the many Marvel films currently available on Disney+. In the meantime, we'll continue watching the rest of Disney's catalogue and count down the days until Black Panther will be on Disney+.
