Never mind. Disney+ will have almost all the Marvel movies at launch too

By

A few weeks ago, Disney dropped a massive list of movies and TV shows that will be available on Disney+ at launch, including films from almost all of the company’s major franchises. The Marvel Cinematic Universe selection, however, seemed a little thin. Only seven MCU movies were part of Disney+’s launch lineup, and that list included lesser entries like Thor: The Dark World and Ant-Man.

Well, never fear: Less than a day before Disney+’s long-awaited debut on November 12, the official Disney+ Twitter account announced that almost every Marvel movie will be on the service on launch day, bringing the full number of MCU selections up to 16 (out of a total 23).

As per the announcement, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be available on Disney+ at launch. They’ll join the previously announced Iron Man, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, and Captain Marvel, as well as Avengers: Endgame, which was added to the list of Disney+ launch titles last week.

With these additions, there are only seven MCU movies that aren’t on Disney+. Four of those — Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Ant-Man and the Wasp  — are under license to Netflix through 2019, and are expected to join Disney+ in early 2020. Two more, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, were co-produced by Sony, which probably makes their streaming situation a little more complicated even if both Sony and Disney have recently decided to play nice after a pretty rough summer. That only leaves the Edward Norton-led The Incredible Hulk, which Disney and Marvel traditionally seem fairly happy to ignore.

Disney+ debuts on November 12, 2019, at a cost of $7 a month, or $70 for an annual subscription. In addition to almost every Marvel movie and a number of MCU spinoff series, the service will be the exclusive streaming  home to Star Wars, Pixar films, and the complete Disney animated library, as well as a selection of old and new movies and classic Disney television shows. Disney+ will be available on all major streaming devices, including Amazon Fire TV boxes.

Hulu content is now available inside Disney+ as a ‘beta’
The Hulu icon in the Disney+ app.

If you've been waiting on pins and needles for the merger of Hulu with Disney+ (especially now that Disney effectively owns all of Hulu), well, that wait is over because you can now get Hulu shows and movies inside the Disney+ app.

And ... that's pretty much all there is to it. It's part of the previously announced "beta" test to bring everything under one roof. (The full, official rollout is said to be coming in March.) And we say "beta" in quotes there because, unlike a traditional beta test that actually requires you to opt into the beta test, this one sort of just happened. The reason for the beta moniker, CEO Bob Iger said in November, is that it's "giving parents time to set up profiles and parental controls that work best for their families."

The Marvels: How many post-credits scenes are there in the latest MCU movie?
The poster for The Marvels.

It's November, which means it's time for the usual seasonal things: holiday movies no one wants to see; too many football games to keep track of; and sales on stuff you probably don't need. It's also time for another Marvel movie, and the latest one, The Marvels, promises more of the same except with a lot less fan enthusiasm and critical acclaim.

Yes, the MCU is in a bit of a slump lately, but that hasn't stopped people curious about what's going on all these multiverses and what latest Easter eggs are teasing future plotlines. The Marvels is no different, as it contains the usual post-credits scene(s) that are designed to whip up enthusiasm for the movie itself and potential sequels down the road. But how many post-credits scenes are there in The Marvels? And just what happens in those scenes and who cameos? Digital Trends has all the answers for you below.

There's only one post-credits scene in The Marvels. Usually, there are two, but even Marvel has to be frugal in this tight economy.

Here are all the MCU movies and shows you need to watch before The Marvels
The promo poster for The Marvels.

In case you hadn't heard, there's a new Marvel movie out this week. But if you haven't gotten around to getting tickets for The Marvels yet, don't worry, there should be plenty of available seats. Perhaps the lack of anticipation is a branding problem, since calling it The Marvels distracts from the fact that it's a sequel to Captain Marvel. And if you haven't been paying attention to the Marvel Studios original shows on Disney+, then you may be a bit lost about the two new heroines, Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), who are teaming up with Brie Larson's Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers.

The good news is that Disney+ is the streaming home for all of the MCU movies and shows that you need to watch before The Marvels. And in the interest of making things as easy to follow as possible, the shows and films are presented below in chronological order rather than by their release dates.
