Where to stream Don’t Worry Darling

Few movies have received more press for things that had nothing to with the movie than Don’t Worry DarlingThere were rumors of inappropriate behavior on the set, plenty of tension, and poor Chris Pine sitting in the middle of it all. When the press tour quieted down, though, folks actually got to see the movie, and reactions were mixed. Some people praised the movie’s original ideas and strong performances, while others were confused about how a movie with such an exciting press tour could be so dull in execution.

The movie, which tells the story of a young housewife living in an idyllic small town in the desert of California who discovers that everything in her world is not as it seems, definitely has echoes of films like The Truman Show. It was directed by Olivia Wilde, who also acts in the movie alongside a cast that also includes Black Widow‘s Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan (Sersi from Marvel’s Eternals), and Nick Kroll.

While reactions were mixed when the movie hit theaters, plenty of people didn’t see the movie at all when it was released theatrically. Those folks may be wondering how they can best catch up with it now that it’s mostly left theaters.

Don’t Worry Darling will be on HBO Max on November 7

Anyone who missed Don’t Worry Darling in theaters won’t have to wait much longer. The movie is set to hit HBO Max on November 7, and when it does, it should be available to stream there for some time. The exact streaming window isn’t clear, but most new movies that hit HBO Max stay there for at least a month, which should give existing HBO Max subscribers plenty of time to catch up with it.

How much does it cost to subscribe to HBO Max?

If you’re not a current HBO Max subscriber but you’re interested in watching Don’t Worry Darling, there are a couple of different rates you can pay for access to the service. The cheapest rate includes ads, and starts at $10 a month, or $100 for a full year. If you want an ad-free experience, you can pay $15 a month or $150 for a full year.

This makes HBO Max one of the pricier streaming services out there, but it also gives you access to a pretty broad array of titles.

In short, it’s a lot of great stuff.

Are there any other ways to watch Don’t Worry Darling?

If you’re really opposed to paying for an HBO Max subscription, the movie is also available to rent or buy at a higher cost on platforms including Amazon, Apple TV, YouTube, and Vudu. If you want to own the digital version of the movie, it costs $25, and if you want to rent it, it costs $20. It would be cheaper to just subscribe to HBO Max for a single month, and you would have access to additional entertainment too, but there are other options out there.

Don’t bother sending back those final Netflix DVD rentals
Netflix final DVD envelope.

If for some reason you're still renting DVDs from Netflix and plan to keep doing so until that end of the service goes the way of the dinosaur on September 29, you can hold off on sticking the discs back in the mail. Netflix doesn't want them.

The "DVD Netflix" account on X (formerly known as Twitter) today clarified that "we are not charging for any unreturned discs after 9/29. Please enjoy your final shipments for as long as you like." It followed up the statement with a trio of emoji, as serious communications from serious companies tend to do.

The MCU needs the X-Men (but the X-Men don’t need the MCU)
The X-Men pose for a photo in a Marvel comic book.

Long before Marvel became a Disney-owned Hollywood juggernaut, the cash-strapped comics publisher stayed afloat by licensing the movie rights to its most popular characters to major studios. Sony and Columbia Pictures hit the jackpot with Spider-Man, with the film franchise having grossed over $9 billion since 2002, but it’s arguably 20th Century Fox who got the most bang for its buck by purchasing the rights to Marvel’s most sprawling roster of characters: the X-Men.

More than just a single super-team, the X-Men are a universe unto themselves, with a massive mythology spanning centuries, light-years, and branching alternate timelines. Fox’s X-Men franchise was an important superhero movie success story, but it barely scratched the surface of its source material and, with the exception of the smash-hit Deadpool films, it was running on fumes by the time the studio was purchased outright by Disney in 2019.
Since the Disney buyout, Marvel movie fans have anxiously awaited the introduction of X-Men characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where they were legally off limits for the entirety of the Infinity Saga. There’s enormous potential in adapting the mighty Mutants in Marvel’s prismatic, interconnected multimedia idiom, and given the uneven response to Marvel’s post-Endgame installments, the X-Men could provide the MCU a much-needed infusion of familiar characters and beloved stories. On the other hand, aside from a fresh start in a new continuity, what — if anything — does the MCU have to offer the X-Men?

Please, Marvel, don’t make a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4
Star-Lord and Gamora talk in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Now that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has hit theaters, there's naturally plenty of speculation about whether a fourth movie is in the offing. Given how successful the first three installments have been, it seems only natural that a fourth film would be in the works. After all, Hollywood loves to run with something until everyone is totally exhausted by it.

In the case of the Guardians movies, though, it might make more sense to just let them go. The only other MCU fourquel, Thor: Love and Thunder, was met with critical derision and stifled yawns from the audience, killing whatever goodwill the character had accumulated from the previous movie, Thor: Ragnarok. But that's just one of many reasons why Marvel should never make a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4.
