In part likely due to rising vaccinations against COVID-19 and falling cases and deaths and also possibly because of the recent lawsuit from "Black Widow" star Scarlett Johansson alleging that releasing the film on the platform breached her contract, "Jungle Cruise" is currently the final Disney movie planned to release through Premier Access. The next big Disney release, "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," is still planned to release exclusively in theaters on September 3 this year, despite being just over a month out from release.

However, it's possible that rising cases of COVID-19 in the United States due to stagnating vaccination rates and the delta variant may influence Disney to continue the trend, which has been both profitable for the media juggernaut and a source of praise for offering a safe alternative for vulnerable populations without delaying their hotly anticipated films any further. Whatever the reason, if you want to wait until "Jungle Cruise" is free on Disney+, you'll have to wait 105 days, the standard length of time for Premier Access releases, until November 12.
