INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
When Disney acquired Marvel in 2009, we were only at the very beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe phenomenon
Since then, the MCU has blown up on a massive scale, with three phases of films and a handful of TV shows already behind us
Some releases have been more successful than others, but all play a part in the big picture of the Marvel universe. Now, as Marvel's
game-changing Phase 3 comes to an end, and we move into Phase 4 of the studio's grand plan, Disney is launching its Disney Plus streaming
Marvel will be a core pillar of what the service has to offer, and now the studio's original TV shows will be closely linked to its movies
– unlike the previous Marvel TV offerings on Netflix that were largely of inconsistent quality and lifespan.It’s pretty clear that
Disney has big plans for its Marvel TV shows as well as its movies in the coming years, and Disney Plus will allow you to catch up, and keep
up, with the Marvel universe in 4K/HDR.With Marvel assembling alongside heavy-hitters like Star Wars, Pixar and Disney itself on the
streaming service, fans are naturally wondering just how much it will cost them to keep up with the exploits of their favorite heroes
If that’s the case just head to our Disney Plus price guide which has all the information you’ll need. So, curious about what Marvel
treats are actually coming to Disney Plus? Here’s everything that’s been announced so far. Disney Plus Marvel Movies: what's available
at launch?There are 23 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but unfortunately they won’t all be available on Disney Plus at launch
The reason for this is kind of convoluted – some of the existing Marvel movies are tied up in existing licensing deals and are, therefore,
not able to be streamed consistently around the world. The rights of other titles, like the 2008 Hulk movie and the Tom Holland Spider-Man
films, are also owned and distributed by other studios and can’t, therefore, appear on Disney’s streaming service. Outside of these
legal constraints, it’s possible that Disney doesn’t want to make its entire Marvel movie catalogue available right away – there are
DVD and Blu-ray sales to maintain after all. The seven MCU titles confirmed as being available at launch in Disney’s mammoth Twitter
thread are as follows:Iron ManIron Man 3Thor: The Dark WorldGuardians of the GalaxyAvengers: Age of UltronAnt-ManCaptain MarvelAs for the
rest? Well, we at least know that Avengers: Endgame will be coming to the service on December 11 2019, but dates for others remain
unconfirmed. It’s likely that most of the MCU movies will appear on Disney Plus eventually, it just won’t be straight away so you’ll
have to hold off on that binge session you have planned.Disney Plus Marvel TV Shows: what and when?One of the most exciting things about
Disney Plus is the prospect of a deluge of new and exclusive Marvel TV shows that might actually hold up against their cinematic
counterparts – and make up for previous misadventures
Given the big names attached to the shows, and reports that each episode of each show could have a budget of as much as $25 million,
expectations of quality are high. Disney has already confirmed a handful of shows that will be coming to the service over the next couple
of years and we know that there’ll be a mix of live-action, animation and documentary on offer
But it’ll be a while until the new offerings start, with the first big series starting in 2020. The first new and exclusive show out the
gate will be The Falcon and the Winter Soldier with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan reprising their respective roles for the small
screen. After that we know Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany will be reunited as Scarlett Witch and Vision in WandaVision; Tom Hiddleston
will also be causing havoc as Loki in his very own branch of reality, courtesy of the Tesseract
Like Loki, Hawkeye will be getting his own show, starring Jeremy Renner, although we’re not expecting to see it premiere until 2021. On
the animated side of things, What If…? will explore a whole range of alternative storylines within the Marvel universe, including what
might have happened had Peggy Carter taken the soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers
And just because it’s animated doesn’t mean the stars are stepping back – 25 of the biggest Marvel stars have been confirmed to be
returning to voice their characters, including Hayley Atwell and Samuel L
Jackson. Disney will be using its TV shows to introduce new heroes as well as delving deeper into the stories of its existing stars
It was confirmed during D23 that Ms
Marvel, She-Hulk and Moon Knight will be making their debuts on Disney Plus with their own dedicated shows
When those debuts will be, however, is still unknown.(Image credit: Walt Disney/Marvel Studios)Disney Plus Marvel TV shows: release

busy and bright for the Marvel universe on Disney Plus
While things on the TV front won’t be getting properly started until 2020, we know at the very least that the shows will be going strong
Between the introduction of new characters and expansions on the stories of those we already know, there's plenty coming – and if you’re
invested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney Plus is likely the best place to be between the big movie
releases. by8Tr8RPFkq7LEXQQ9cLcB.jpg?#
