It was previously revealed that allDisneytitles will live on Disney+. That includes everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first title to debut on the service will beCaptain Marvel, which came out a little over a month beforeAvengers: Endgame. But during a recent quarter 2 earnings report, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that their smash hit follow-up toInfinity Warwill be makings its way to Disney+ in December. Here’s what he had to say about it.
“We’re very pleased with our Q2 results and thrilled with therecord-breaking successof Avengers: Endgame, which is now the second-highest grossing film of all time and will stream exclusively on Disney+ starting December 11th. The positive response to our direct-to-consumer strategy has been gratifying, and the integration of the businesses we acquired from 21st Century Fox only increases our confidence in our ability to leverage decades of iconic storytelling and the powerful creative engines across the entire company to deliver an extraordinary value proposition to consumers.”
The service is set to launch in November and the MCU is going to be a major part of what they have to offer. Outside of the backlog of movies, they’re also going to produceseveral new live-action shows that are tied directly into the MCU. These includeFalcon and Winter Soldier,LokiandWandaVision. The stars who play their respective roles on the big screen, such as Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Tom Hiddleston, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, will reprise their roles.
While that’s appealing, havingAvengers: Endgameon the service that soon after launch will be huge. The latest from directors Joe and Anthony Russo has already grossed $2.3 billion at the global box office as itheads into its third weekend. It’s rapidly closing in on James Cameron’sAvatarto become the highest-grossing movie ever. So, while it’s a movie many people will have already seen, it simply doesn’t get much bigger.
