When is Eternals coming to Disney Plus? If you're a fan of Marvel Studios' vast cinematic universe (and why wouldn't you be if you're reading this?), you'll want to know the answer to this question.
The 26th MCU movie landed in theaters in November 2021 but, given the mixed to poor critical reception it received – not to mention the threat of the ongoing pandemic – many film aficionados opted to wait for Eternals' release on Disney Plus to watch it.
With the holiday season coming and going without Eternals landing on the streamer, though, some fans may be wondering when the latest superhero ensemble flick will be available to stream.
Well, the wait won't be lengthy for much longer. Eternals will arrive on Disney Plus on January 12, so there's less than a week to go before it launches on the company's streaming platform. Every Marvel Phase 4 film, Spider-Man: No Way Home aside, will be available to watch on Disney Plus after that date, then.

Now that Eternals' Disney Plus launch date has been confirmed, make sure you free up some time next Wednesday to finally check it out. Not only that, but Eternals will be available in IMAX Enhanced mode as well, which means that you'll get to see more of the film due to the larger aspect ratio screen size that it supports.
Below, we'll explain why it's taken so long for Eternals to launch on Disney Plus, as well as whether it'll be a Premier Access title like Black Widow was or if you can stream it for free. Let's dive in.
Eternals Disney Plus release date
Does Eternals have a Disney Plus release date?
Yes. As we revealed above, Eternals will launch on Disney Plus on January 12, 2022. Funnily enough, there were reports about when it may land to Disney Plus via Dutch website Streamwijzer.nl (per Streaming Guider), which claimed Eternals would be released on that date. So it turns out that they were right.
Like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings before it, Eternals was given a 45-day exclusive theatrical run, as revealed on The Walt Disney Company's website in late 2021. Given that the MCU flick was released on November 5, that meant that it wasn't likely to arrive on Disney Plus before December 20, 2021.
However, Shang-Chi didn't come to Disney Plus exactly 45 days after its theatrical release. It didn't launch on the streamer until 70 days after its initial release, with Shang-Chi debuting in cinemas on September 3 and on Disney Plus on November 12.
With Eternals landing on Disney Plus on January 12, it'll be 68 days since its original release.
Some fans had speculated that Eternals would launch on Disney Plus after Hawkeye's series finale. Given that Hawkeye's last episode launched on December 22, and that Eternals' exclusive theatrical period ends on December 20, some people thought that Eternals would be released in time for Christmas. That, though, was clearly incorrect.
Eternals Disney Plus Premier Access title
Will Eternals be a Disney Plus Premier Access title?
No, Eternals won't be a Disney Plus Premier Access title. Shang-Chi wasn't when it landed on Disney Plus on November 12, and Eternals isn't, either. We reached out to Disney for confirmation on this, and they've confirmed that it'll be free to all Disney Plus subscribers.
As long as you're a current Disney Plus subscriber, then, Eternals will be free to watch when it's released later this month.
Eternals runtime
How long is Eternals' runtime?
Eternals is two and a half hours long. That's including its mid-credits and post-credits scenes, as well as its lengthy end credits. Hey, a lot of people work on Marvel films these days.
Thankfully, when it does land on Disney Plus, you'll be able to pause Eternals if you need to take a bathroom break. Or to get up and find those all-important snacks. Nobody likes to go hungry while watching an enthralling Marvel movie, after all.
