Disney announced a bunch of details on their streaming service, Disney+. It’ll launch on November 12th, and cost $6.99 a month. You can also save a few bucks by choosing the $69.99 annual plan. It’ll come stocked with a ton of existing Disney movies and shows, plus EVERY episode of “The Simpsons”, three new Marvel shows, and a new “Sandlot” TV show.
Like Netflix, there won’t be any ads. And Disney will likely bundle Disney+ with its other streaming products, ESPN+, and Hulu, but there aren’t any details yet. On Day One, it’ll be stocked with programming from across their vast library, including 18 Pixar movies, 13 animated classics that have previously been locked inside the Disney ‘vault,’ all the “Star Wars” films.
Marvel titles like “Black Panther” and “Captain Marvel”, some 250 hours of National Geographic programming, 100 Disney Channel Original Movies, and “nine exclusive originals.” They’ve announced multiple Marvel shows: Tom Hiddleston will star in “Loki”. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are teaming up for “The Falcon and Winter Soldier”. And Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany will reprise their roles as Wanda Maximoff and The Vision in a series titled “WandaVision”. There will also be a Marvel animated show called “What If?”, which will examine zany alternate timelines based on ‘what if?’ questions . . . like “What if Peggy Carter became a super soldier?” And there’s also that “Hawkeye” show.
