Marvel And STAR WARS Movies Will Indeed Be Moving From Netflix To Disney's New Streaming Service

We pretty much figured it was only a matter of time before this was announced, and sure enough, Disney CEO Bob Iger has revealed that all Marvel & Star Wars films will move to Disney's streaming service.

We all wondered what the fate of Marvel and Star Wars movies on Netflix would be following the news that Disney would be starting its own direct-to-consumer streaming service in 2019, and now we know.

During an earnings call earlier today (via THR), Bob Iger officially announced that Disney's deal with Netflix would not be renewed, and all Marvel Studios and Star Wars properties would find a new home on the upcoming OTT service.

Iger also revealed that in addition to Disney’s current film library of nearly 500 films and 7,000 TV episodes, the studio will produce four to five original films and TV shows (mostly live-action) for the streaming service.

I'd say the chances of seeing that long-awaited live-action Star Wars TV series at some stage is looking pretty good. 

What do you guys think of this news? Let us know in the usual place.

@MuadDib - Only Young Justice is worth it for the DC streaming. Every other live action property blows.

@MuadDib - I think an adaptation of the Darth Plagieous novel would work well as a series. Its relatively grounded, that is to say there aren't big giant space battles which would be taxing on a TV buget (though I was impressed with the cgi of the new star rarely series).
Or simply have a Boba Fett Bounty hunter series. Again, would require tremendous CGI.
I feel what benefits both these possibilities is that they a relatively more mature aspects of the universe (Sith hierarchy/politics + gangsters underworld) which justifies them being live action.

Disney's streaming service would be the PERFECT place for a flagship Kamala Khan Ms. Marvel series.
