Impact of Disney+

[Anonymous User]

Hi, 

I’m wondering whether when Disney+ is launched whether Now TV will lose all disney and marvel content?

There are still some parts of the Disney/Sky deal to expire, but when they do yes all things Disney (including Marvel) will only be on Disney+

I wonder if they will replace all the Disney & Marvel with some good movies or just reduce the number of films.  Now my kids have grown up, I have no need of Disney nor Marvel.

You know, it's funny you say you've no use for Marvel.

However, I've been reading and now watching Marvel since my Dad bought me a Fantastic Four black and white comic (British reprint) way, way back in the day, and I still like them just as much today.

Well, I guess I never really grew up.

I'd also like to add that I have signed up to Disney+ and I have no kids, but I am looking forward to binge watching the old seasons of the Simpsons. 

Also films like Venom, Blade and Deadpool are rated R (US) or 15/18 here, so definitely not child friendly. Although stating the obvious they won't be on Disney+, more likely Hulu when it launches internationally next year.

You said, "...films like Venom, Blade and Deadpool are rated R..".  Oh yeah, and I'm 100% with you on that plus I would dearly love to see the return of Daredevil, Punisher, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and a recast Iron Fist. 

You know, it's rumoured, though unsubstantiated, that Daredevil's alter ego, aka Mat Murdock, will appear in the next Spider-Man feature film.

Good things are on the horizon.

Catch you later.

I have watched a number of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars et al films over the last 20 years thanks to my kids.  I am of the few people to get to my 40s without seeing a Star Wars film. Some Disney movies I could recite word for word.  And not once did I choose to see any of them. And mostly used them as an opportunity to have a nap.  Fortunately nowadays, I don’t have to watch any of them.  Kids have grown up and prefer Godfather.  
I am hoping extra films (classics will do) will appear in their place.

Hey Starman

You a grinch?

I need another Malibu and cola but Corona will not allow it.

The Grinch (Universal) is not going to be on Disney+, so I am happy about that.  In fact for those who like Marvel, Star Wars and Disney, Disney + is great.

The original subject is the impact of Disney+.  I am just saying for me, it will be good if they replace those movies with films I am more likely to watch.

From my understanding and someone correct me if I am wrong, Comcast owns Universal, therefore in theory could easily start pumping a lot of Universal movies onto Sky/Now TV for the long haul? 

Found a list of films by Universal on good old wiki.
