Time to get in your last rewatches in, Netflix users, because Solo: A Star Wars Story is heading to Disney+ sooner than you'd think.

The 2018 spinoff film follows a young Han Solo (played by Alden Ehrenreich) years before the iconic character's debut in Star Wars: A New Hope. With other notable actors starring in the film, such as Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, and Donald Glover as a young Lando Calrissian, just to name a few, the movie is definitely worth a watch or two—even if it did disappoint at the box office. Fans of a galaxy far, far away have had the chance to watch the flick on Netflix since the start of 2019, but now it's switching homes.

As reported by ComicBook.com, Solo will be joining all the other Star Wars films on Disney+ starting July 10. The publication also reports that the remaining Disney movies on Netflix, such as Ant-Man and the Wasp, Incredibles 2, and others, are expected to also make the move in the coming months.

Last summer, Solo director Ron Howard opened up on why he believed the film wasn't as successful as the studio had hoped. While on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Academy Award winner explained that the release date was less than ideal, as the movie was competing against the likes of Avengers: Infinity War and Deadpool 2. He also admitted that perhaps because the spinoff focused on many new characters instead of familiar faces who the fanbase knew, people might have been less interested.

In any case, Solo is certainly a staple in the Star Wars franchise, and it's ready to come home to Disney+.
