Filed Under: Avengers: Endgame

We keep hearing that big changes are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe once Avengers: Endgame is released and in a new interview, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has shed some light on how things will work moving forward and what it means for the characters we've already spent time with.

"Some of these films will feature characters that you already know," he teased, while remaining as tight-lipped as possible about what comes next.

"Some supporting characters will assume leading roles, while some new characters will be introduced. The reward for all of these films working is that we get to try to do it again and do it differently and learn from our mistakes and try something we haven’t tried before." While Shang-Chi and The Eternals are coming to the big screen, Disney+ is bringing the MCU to the small one as well.

"These episodes will intersect with the movies in a very big way," Feige promises, making it clear that they're essential viewing for fans. "It’s a totally new form of storytelling that we get to play with and explore."

We're clearly entering a whole new MCU with Phase 4 and the stories Feige is looking to tell are going to be both familiar and something very different. Will they find the same level of critical and commercial success as past Marvel movies? Well, based on the "risks" the studio boss has taken in the past, the answer to that question should be a resounding "yes."

Hit the "View List" button below for a recap of everything we know about Disney+!

Disney+ Will Explore A Post-Endgame MCU

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was on hand to present the Marvel Studios portion of the Disney+ presentation and it's clear that the MCU is about to have a huge impact on the small screen.

While the Marvel TV shows we've seen in the past have only been loosely connected to what's happening in the movies, Feige promises that these will link seamlessly with what's going on in theaters, noting that "they will change and evolve characters as well as introduce new ones."

He also teased the fact that the "post-Endgame MCU will be very different."

The Simpsons Are Coming To Disney+

While The Simpsons will continue to air on FOX (it was recently renewed for seasons 31 and 32), it appears as if FX will no longer have the streaming rights to the long-running series. While some previous episodes will remain on FXNow for a short while, come November 12th, the beloved animated family will air all thirty of its previous seasons exclusively on Disney+ which is obviously huge.

The Entire Star Wars Franchise Will Be On Disney+ Within A Year

While Disney may own Lucasfilm, their acquisition of Fox means that they've regained the distribution rights to the original trilogy of Star Wars movies (and the prequels). Now, all six of those are coming to Disney+ along with the current trilogy (including Episode IX) and Rogue One.

Oddly, there was no mention of Solo, the disappointing spinoff that massively underperformed.

Having all of these movies in one place is obviously going to be a huge draw for fans and another massive blow to Netflix after Disney decided to pull The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi from there.

Toy Story Fans Will Be Happy

Disney is clearly hoping for big things from Toy Story 4 because two shorts will be released by Pixar on the streaming service both at launch and during the first year.

Forky Asks a Question will be an animated series featuring the spork turned toy who will be a key player in the upcoming fourth instalment, while Lamp Life promises to explore what happened to Bo Peep between the events of Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 4.

Disney Animation fans can also looking forward to a Frozen 2 "Making-Of" documentary.

New Star Wars TV Shows

The Mandalorian will be good to go on day one when Disney+ launches and Alan Tudyk will reprise the role of K-2SO alongside Diego Luna as Cassian Andor in a currently untitled series.

Not much beyond that was revealed and that rumoured Obi-Wan Kenobi show hasn't been confirmed yet.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe Gets Bigger

As promised, a number of Marvel TV shows are coming to Disney+ and while there was no mention of Hawkeye, those which have been rumoured for a while now have been officially confirmed.

Those include Loki starring Tom Hiddleston, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan reprising their respective roles, the oddly titled WandaVision with Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen as The Vision and the Scarlet Witch, and an animated What If? series featuring the voices of the actors who played the characters on screen.

The first of those will see Peggy Carter become Captain America and a skinny Steve Rogers donning an Iron Man suit in World War II.

How Movie Releases Will Work

Right now, there's an awful lot of discussion going on about whether streaming services are killing theaters and it seems Disney is keen to avoid hurting them and losing the money they make with box office hits like Avengers: Infinity War.

Instead, once movies finish their theatrical runs, they'll immediately debut on Disney+ and that means we'll get to see them much sooner than if we were to wait for the DVD and Blu-ray releases. So, yeah, physical media might be dying now.

How Much Will It Cost?

So, all this great content is going to cost a ton, right? Nope. Disney is looking to deliver a Netflix killer and in a bid to stand out from the crowd and ensure that people believe it's worth signing up, all Disney+ will cost you is $6.99 a month! That's cheaper than Netflix and there's even an option to pay for the entire year at $69.99 (which works out to be $5.83 a month and is definitely affordable).

When Does It Launch?

Here's the official worldwide release schedule for the streaming service courtesy of Disney. In North America, however, we know that Disney+ will officially debut on November 12th.

Praise Lord Feige

WakandaTech - 4/16/2019, 8:18 AM

I been predicting that Shang-Chi takes the Feb 12 2021 release date since it's Chinese New Year
and Black Panther takes the big summer release date now that he's become a major iconic character.

In 2021 will have a summer box office battle between Batman and Black Panther 2

GhostDog - 4/16/2019, 8:26 AM

@WakandaTech - they should keep BP during BHM imo. I think it would do numbers at any time of the year though.

WakandaTech - 4/16/2019, 8:30 AM

@BlackBeltJones -

MyCoolYoung - 4/16/2019, 8:21 AM

I'm patiently waiting that. Feige never addressed the Netflix shows which sucks. Does anyone know which series will be on there from day 1?

Battabing - 4/16/2019, 9:00 AM

@MyCoolYoung - Why would he? He's not going to do anything with them.

BlackArrow - 4/16/2019, 9:05 AM

@MyCoolYoung - Nothing is shooting right now or anytime soon so none of them most likely

MyCoolYoung - 4/16/2019, 10:34 AM

@BlackArrow - that's what I was thinking especially for a November release

MyCoolYoung - 4/16/2019, 10:35 AM

@BlackArrow - he's talked about them before so I'm sure he could again

whynot - 4/16/2019, 11:48 AM

@MyCoolYoung - I’m pretty sure they have to wait 2 years atleast. But daredevil-verse would probably end up on Hulu unless they pg13 it.

In Feige we trust!
