Disney+ Finally Announces European Launch Dates As More STAR WARS & Marvel Shows Are Teased

Fans have been wondering when the Disney+ streaming service will be available in the UK and other major European markets, and we now have an official launch date. It's quite some time away, however!

The Disney+ streaming service launches in The US on November 12, but fans in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and "a number of other countries in the region" are going to have to wait until March 31 of next year!

Disney CEO Bob Iger made the announcement on Thursday during a conference call to discuss quarterly results, and he also revealed that there are more Marvel and Star Wars series in "varying forms of production" beyond the ones we already know about. He also said that Star Wars movies would go "on hiatus" following The Rise of Skywalker, but we pretty much knew that would be the case. 

While it's nice to finally have a rollout date for the major European markets, by waiting almost 5 months after launching the service in the US, Canada and the Netherlands, Disney is opening itself up for serious levels of piracy. That "titles may very by territory" disclaimer may also be cause for concern!

What do you guys think? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

Titles may vary? Why, when you own all of them? Guess they like pirates...

Yeah...OK...I suspect that most people outside of North America with an internet connection and the most basic knowledge of torrents or illegal streaming sites aren't going to wait until March to watch The Mandalorian. Some will use VPNs to try to access Disney Plus, absolutely willing to pay to gain access. Others will use the other aforementioned means.

Unsurprising here in Australia either, for the same reasons mentioned above. A local streaming service ‘Stan’ stitched up a deal with Disney for mostly Marvel but some Disney content and Foxtel (yes Rupert still has interests down under) has the Disney Kids channel. Ironically, a local free to air channel, ‘7’ had the Disney rights for years and their rival ‘9’ always had the Warner rights, but now 9 owns Stan and so their rights have swapped. I can’t imagine Disney keeping on board with Stan, Fox or any other service provider with the launch of Disney+. It’s only 4 1/2 months away, but it’ll nearly kill me trying to avoid spoilers for that long.

"Please note: Titles may vary by territory"

Do they mean different contents in different regions? Well if so, that sucks big time! The content on Netflix in Sweden is much worse than in US - yet for the same price. I absolutly hate when they force content like this. 30% forced local content by EU is such bull$%#@!!!
If EU wanna make EU-companies profit - then make your own damn EU-streaming service. If peolpe like it, they will pay for it. If people dont pay for it, well then it is because it is crappy content that nobody wants.
If EU make good content, Disney will probably buy it anywat but dont freaking force it!

Shiver me timbers, everyone in UK will be getting their eye patches out for the mandelorian. We didn't like waiting a day for walking dead or game of thrones so waiting four months is a no no.
