‘Infinity War’ and ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ Disney+ Delay
By George Robbins
Disney+ is now up there near the top of all streaming sites due to the fact that Disney has a very extensive catalog of films at their disposal. Nowadays, people can’t really go out to public places in order to do things, so they have no choice but to find things to do at home. Among those things that people have to keep themselves entertained at home is streaming sites and among those sites one of the most prominent is Disney+. Disney made sure to create an extensive library of films dating way back to include all of their original films. Also included on the list of films and television that they have available are the Star Wars franchise and the MCU franchise.
Well, almost all of the MCU franchise is available to the public, but this is mainly due to deals that were in place even before the inception of Disney+ back in November of 2019. Disney has made sure that all of the Marvel films that they could make available on the service are actually on there with the most recent MCU addition being their box office record breaker, ‘Avenger: Endgame.’ They have been working on original content for the streaming network, but the established movies and shows are what keeps the site running. So, they are trying their best to get the rest of the MCU movies up as soon as they can.
Two movies that they cannot make available on their streaming service are the MCU Spider-Man films because rights for those films belong to Sony. The only other two that they cannot show due to previously negotiated deals are ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ because Netflix still has the streaming rights for those movies. ‘Infinity War’ was meant to release on June 25th and has now been delayed a single day to June 26th. ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ has been delayed a bit more than that having its date of release on Disney+ changed from July 29th to August 14th. The MCU has made Disney a lot of money over the years thus far and the upcoming series are, for Disney, hopefully good enough to surpass the success of ‘The Mandolorian,’ but at this point only time will tell for all of their content.
