In a new trailer, streaming service Disney+ welcomes Black Panther home. Disney+ launched this past November as a one-stop shop for Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic TV shows and movies. The streamer is home to various existing films and TV series, as well as originals like Star Wars show The Mandalorian. Though the world of streaming has become crowded in recent years, Disney+ still managed to make an impression. Earlier this month, Disney announced the streamer had gained 28.6 million subscribers since launch.
Disney+ has been especially exciting for MCU fans, particularly those craving new content. Marvel has several original TV series in the works featuring popular characters from the movies. These include The Falcon and the Winter Solider with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, as well as WandaVision, starring Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany's Vision. Both of those shows will debut this year, with The Falcon and the Winter Solider slated for August and WandaVision dropping sometime in December. Several other series are in the planning stages or already in production, such as Loki with Tom Hiddleston's character from the Thor movies.
Though several MCU films and TV shows are already available on Disney+, Black Panther is one that's still missing. Upon launch, Disney+ shared Black Panther's release date: March 4. Until then, the movie is available on Netflix. Disney+ shared the trailer reminding fans of Black Panther's release date on the streamer today, two years after the film hit theaters. Check out Disney+'s video below:
Though it's nice to know that the first Black Panther will be available on Disney+ soon, many fans are already looking ahead to the film's sequel. Little is known about Black Panther 2 at this point, though it does already have a May 2022 release date. Over the summer, Martin Freeman, who appeared in the first film, said he thought the movie would begin filming in 2021. However, last fall, Disney CEO Bob Iger shared that returning director and writer Ryan Coogler was just starting the script. Namor is rumored to be the villain of the film, which could make for an impressive battle with Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa.
Disney+'s new trailer not only celebrates the upcoming addition of Black Panther to the streaming service, it also highlights the various movies Disney+ has to offer. It may seem odd to some fans that Black Panther and every MCU film are not already available. However, due to the complicated nature of streaming deals, it's rare for a service to have all the properties it would like to have available at one time. Luckily, with today's reminder, fans can begin counting down the days until Black Panther is available on Disney+.
