Videos by ComicBook.com

The Wolverine will be available under the “Marvel Legacy Movies” section in the Marvel tab on Disney+. The Marvel Legacy Movies section already includes X-Men, X2, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, 2015’s Fantastic Four, and 2005’s Fantastic Four. Movies like Logan have not yet been made available on Disney+ as the streaming platform is not offering R-rated content to users, though plans to do so internationally were revealed during the Investor Day event on December 10.

The Wolverine is directed by James Mangold and stars Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Hiroyuki Sanada, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Hal Yamanouchi, and Brian Tee. The film was written by Mark Bomback and Scott Frank, originally having been released in theaters in 2013.

“Lured to a Japan he hasn’t seen since World War II, century-old mutant Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) finds himself in a shadowy realm of yakuza and samurai,” the synopsis for The Wolverine reads. “Wolverine is pushed to his physical and emotional brink when he is forced to go on the run with a powerful industrialist’s daughter (Tao Okamoto) and is confronted — for the first time — with the prospect of death. As he struggles to rediscover the hero within himself, he must grapple with powerful foes and the ghosts of his own haunted past.”
