Netflix Is In Active Discussions With Disney To Keep MARVEL and STAR WARS Films Past 2019
Disney seems to be easing up on taking all of their content off of Netflix, as a new report states the two companies are in active talks to keep Marvel and Star Wars films on the streaming giant.
Last week it was reported that Disney would end their contact with Netflix and take all content to their own streaming services. That services is slated to hit in 2019, and would encompass all of Disney's entertainment library, with the exception of the Marvel Netflix shows.
A recent report in Reuters is saying that Disney seems to have had a change of heart when it comes to two of their most lucrative franchises. Disney is currently in negotiations with Netflix to keep all Marvel and Star Wars related content on the streaming services past 2019.
Disney CEO, Bob Iger, initially said he didn't know what would happen with the two franchises since Disney would be ending their contract with Netflix. However, Netflix Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos, said that the talks to keep Marvel and Star Wars in their library after the 2019 cut-off date are currently on-going. Disney had no comment on the matter, but Sarandos believes that the Disney streaming service will be, "complimentary" to Netflix.
