Avengers: Infinity War will start streaming on Netflix Dec. 25, so you can spend the last week of 2018 just reliving all the joy and pain. This is as much a gift as a curse, depending on how you see it (and on whether or not you're Thanos).

First of all, how dare you with that "Oh snap," Netflix, and second of all, heck yeah! Infinity War joins MCU brethren Black Panther, Thor: Ragnarok, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on the streaming platform – that's pretty good company. It's likely temporary, as with many Netflix acquisitions, particularly with the looming advent of Disney's own streaming service.

Since its April release and record-breaking box office run, Avengers: Infinity War has been available for digital rental and download, as well as for viewing on airplanes (a great choice, can confirm!). This will be its debut to a major streaming subscription platform.
