One of the best MCU movies gets new free UK streaming home

In the United Kingdom, one of the top-tier Marvel Cinematic Universe films now boasts a fresh, complimentary streaming platform as its new home.

In 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” a fan favorite, is still accessible for streaming by Disney+ subscribers. However, as of now, it can also be streamed for free on ITVX.

ITV’s basic streaming service offers content for free, but with advertisements. For an ad-free experience, there’s ITVX Premium which costs either £5.99 per month or £59.99 annually. On the other hand, Disney+ provides an ad-supported plan at £4.99 per month. To remove ads and enjoy standard quality, you would pay £8.99 a month. The top tier offering 4K and HDR is priced at £12.99 a month.

The two streaming platforms at present share content, with each service featuring material from the other in their ‘A Glimpse of’ or ‘Snippets from’ areas.

This special offer won’t last forever, as we regularly update our content. So, you might find more Marvel Cinematic Universe movies appearing on ITVX, but keep in mind that Guardians of the Galaxy may disappear from the lineup shortly.

As a Marvel enthusiast, if you haven’t caught up with the Guardians of the Galaxy saga yet, let me fill you in. In this cosmic adventure, I find myself following the journey of Chris Pratt as Star-Lord. Along the way, I cross paths with an eclectic bunch of underdogs, and together we get entangled in a struggle for power over an Infinity Stone – a mysterious artifact that eventually holds significant weight in future movies.

Under the guidance of James Gunn, who had previously worked on Superman productions, this film is often praised as one of the best within the entire franchise.

According to Digital Spy’s rankings, we positioned the movie slightly outside the top five. We described it as fast-paced, humorous, innovative, and distinct, boasting an excellent ’80s music selection.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but feel thrilled when I realize that this movie has made it to the top 10 Marvel Cinematic Universe films, not just in terms of audience approval, but also in the eyes of critics. It’s not just the MCU, but all films based on Marvel comics that are being judged here, and it’s a remarkable feat to be among the best in such a vast and impressive universe of stories.

As a gaming enthusiast taking a break, I’ve found myself exploring new content across different platforms. Recently, I’ve stumbled upon season 1 of Andor on ITVX, which seems quite intriguing. On the other hand, if I fancy some lighter viewing, I can tune into Mr Bates vs The Post Office on Disney+, as it’s now available there.

Guardians of the Galaxy can be streamed on Disney+ and, for a limited time, ITVX.

The latest print issue from Digital Spy is available now! You can purchase the Oasis – Live in ’25’ magazine from newsstands or online for only £8.99.
