STAR Holds The Final Key Disney+ To Domination

Since its launch in November 2019, Disney+ has amassed over 80 million subscribers worldwide, a feat no one would have expected when the service launched. But even with all its success, there were still many people (myself included) who were hesitant, or didn't see the worth in subscribing to Disney+. The main reason being was that there wasn't a wide enough variety of content on the platform, a sense that "its all the same" and "there's only so many Disney films I can watch". 

BUT, this is where things are going to change! Disney are finally rolling out their STAR section on Disney+ in the UK (and many other markets) on 23rd February. In Disney's own words, its "OUR BIGGEST CONTENT DROP EVER"...


There'd been lots of speculation as to how Disney were going to integrate all of the Fox content they had acquired, and it was announced last year they would be taking the "Star" brand they'd acquired, and putting all their mature content under this tile on Disney+. 

Now we have a concrete look at what level of content is coming to Disney+ in February, it's simply OUTSTANDING. No one can say now that Disney+ does not have enough variety because they will have that spades. From popular films like Pretty Women and Planet of the Apes, to hit TV shows such as How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy, 24, and so much more, there is truly something for everyone on the service.

Some of my highlights include:
  • Deadpool 2
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer
  • Scream
  • The Devil Wears Prada
  • Desperate Housewives
  • Scrubs
  • And my personal favourite...FAMILY GUY

YES - FAMILY GUY WILL BE ON DISNEY+ 😁

I really believe integrating STAR (and all the content that comes with it) into the service is the final key for Disney+ to really dominate the streaming market. The power of the Disney brand, coupled with the variety of content STAR will introduce, there are very few reason for people not to sign up for Disney+ now. Even I'm planning to sign up to the service very soon, as I'm sure many other are too.

Disney+ will dominate 2021, the only question that remains now is whether anyone can really compete with their offering. Disney have a new STAR...it's time for Netflix and co to find theirs.

Timelines, Run Times and More - All You Need To Know For Avengers: End Game

“ You Trust Me? I do ” WHAT A SCENE! Just as Steve Rodgers is shown putting his trust in Tony Stark , I am putting my full trust in Marvel to deliver the most extraordinary finale to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s crazy to think how far we have come, after 21 films and billions of box office dollars, the MCU will culminate with Avengers: End Game …and the wait is almost over. With less than a month to go, tickets for Avengers: End Game are now on sale! To announce ticket sales, Marvel released a one-minute trailer for the film (which you should have seen by now), showing off almost all-new footage and it looks AMAZING. There are reunions, tears, and some great narration, not to mention our first look at Thanos in this film. It looks like the Avengers are finally assembling. If you haven yet done so, watch the new footage below: With the film’s release edging closer, more and more news has been surfacing around the film. Marvel have done a great job with the ma...

Avengers: Endgame Is Officially Top Of The World

Image
For a while it felt as though the film would fall just short, but now its official… Avengers: Endgame has become the highest grossing film of all time. The smash hit MCU finale finally passed Avatar ’s decade long total to reach $2.79bn this past weekend, capping off what has been an insane year for Marvel Studios. It’s a fitting testament to the amazing work everyone at Marvel Studios has done over the last 11 years, with Endgame being a worthy film for the top mantle. With such a massive opening weekend ($357m in North America and $1.2bn worldwide), a lot of us had assumed Endgame would stroll to the no.1 all-time spot, but instead it ended up being a close call, slowly chipping away each weekend. In Avengers: Endgame , we have witnessed box office history which we will not see matched for a very long time, and probably never to this scale and magnitude. The buzz for Endgame was monumental! In the first 2 weeks of its release, you couldn’t escape the Endgame …it was t...

Why The Marvel Cinematic Universe Is One Of Cinemas Greatest Achievements

Image
A decade in review... When it comes to cinematic achievements, we often hear of the usual list: Citizen Kane (1940) for its innovative storytelling and narrative structure; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) for being the first ever feature length animated film; and Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) for its ground breaking use of visual effects. But throughout this past decade, we may have in fact witnessed the greatest one of all. I firmly believe we experienced one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinema, and that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MCU is a franchise of films produced by Marvel Studios, consisting of 23 films to date which all take place along the same timeline and in the same universe (but most of you probably knew that). Starting in 2008 with Iron Man, the series went on to produce some of the greatest comic book films of all time, and some of the best cinema we have seen in the past decade. The MCU has been immensely successful both f...
