Earlier today, Disney announced a bunch of additional MCU movies have been added to their launch schedule. The original group of announced titles was pretty sparse and had some odd exclusions, like Iron Man and Iron Man 3 were on the list, but Iron Man 2 wasn't.

With the new announcements, it looks like every MCU film that Disney controls will be available at launch except for Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Ant-Man & The Wasp. The Incredible Hulk and the Spider-Man films won't be available because they are controlled by Universal and Sony respectively.



Based on the countdown timer on the Disney Plus website, it looks like the official launch will be at 4:00am MT tomorrow.

Very weird that there is no information on sign up for disney plus canada.

The trailer for The Mandalorian was very intriguing.

I'm just assuming that at launch time the apps will appear on the major services and the ability to sign up... but I have absolutely no idea.

If I can't watch Mandalorian tomorrow night I'll be a sad panda.

Holy crap, I'm watching Star Wars on my phone!

The Disney Plus app is live on the Google Play store. I was able to download it and subscribe (you get a one week trial before they charge you if you want to try it out).

It looks like everything is on there. I'm waiting until the PS4 app is released before watching The Mandalorian, but ANH is streaming nicely on my phone.

Looks like the first week is free, just cancel before the time is up.

What new programs are available at launch?

Widescreen version of the Simpsons. Not a surprise I guess.

Has special features for Star Wars including deleted scenes. That’s cool. Hopefully more titles have stuff like that.

Scrolling thru what’s a available I don’t know if it’ll be enough to get me to cancel Netflix, since it has nothing above pg13 content and I don’t have kids. I can only rematch the marvel movies so many times, most of which I’ve seen on Netflix multiple times. Enough I’ll keep it for a month or two I guess.

They really should combine it with Hulu and give us all the fox content. Then it’d be worth having. Didn't Disney own miramax too? That’d have some good content for movies.


Ooh. Free Solo is on there. That’s a must watch for everyone. Great doc.

Well I have watched the intros to all my childhood favorites and now have the Gummi Bears theme stuck in my head. Pretty impressed and can’t wait to make my kids watch my favourite cartoons I had growing up

LG webOS 3.0+ has the app available today as well (woop), oddly does not have Magic Remote support yet (boo), but has full Dolby Vision (HDR) and DTS support.

Reaaaaaaaaaallly excited to watch all the Pixar films in 4K/HDR.

Have there been any reviews yet? I watched the preview on MNF last night and it looked pretty decent.

The first season? They've only released one episode so far.

Is any version of streaming close to the proper bit rate of a real 4k disk? I thought streaming was still behind even the baseline bit rate of a blu ray.
