Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic Noah, featuring Russell Crowe as the reluctant ark-builder, exits Peacock on April 30. The 138-minute film has been streaming on the platform but won't survive the cut. Viewers who want to catch Crowe's performance in this divisive 2014 blockbuster need to make it happen before the end of the month.
Aronofsky's interpretation of the Noah's Ark story remains controversial among religious audiences and critics alike. The director brought his signature visual style and dark sensibility to the source material, resulting in a film that generated strong reactions both ways. Crowe's portrayal strips away sentimentality in favor of raw intensity as Noah wrestles with his divine mission.
The removal marks another casualty in streaming's rotating catalog strategy. Peacock keeps content on a temporary basis, cycling titles to manage licensing costs. This departure gives subscribers roughly three weeks to experience the film before it vanishes into licensing limbo, though it may reappear on other platforms down the line.
For those seeking Crowe's more recent work, the actor has stayed busy with roles in everything from Romper Stomper to Man of Steel. But this specific 2014 Aronofsky collaboration won't linger on Peacock much longer.
