For those eagerly awaiting to see Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, the only way to watch it right now is by catching it in theaters. The film, directed by James Mangold, has captivated audiences since its U.S. release on Christmas Day, with Chalamet’s transformative performance fueling Oscar buzz.
However, there’s good news for those who prefer to stream movies from the comfort of their own homes. Disney has confirmed that A Complete Unknown will be available for streaming soon. After its theatrical run, the movie will be available on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ in the UK, although official streaming dates haven’t been released yet. Typically, streaming platforms make films available about three months after their theatrical release, so viewers in the U.S. might see it available by late March, while UK audiences can expect it by mid-April.
Before hitting streaming services, the film will likely be released digitally, with a possible release window in the U.S. around mid-February and in the UK in early March.
The movie, based on Elijah Wald’s book Dylan Goes Electric! (2015), covers Bob Dylan’s pivotal transformation during his years as a folk artist and the controversy surrounding his switch to electric instruments, culminating in the infamous 1965 Newport Folk Festival scandal. With a star-studded cast including Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, and others, A Complete Unknown is definitely one to look out for when it becomes available for streaming!
