Thor: Ragnarok is now onDisney Plusin the US, marking the first major release of December on Disney’s streaming service. The Taika Waititi-directed film, co-starring Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, is largely considered the best in an otherwise middling trilogy ofMarvel moviesstarring Chris Hemsworth’s god of thunder, and it brings Disney Plus one step closer to a full slate of MCU films. You can stream it now, and you’ll see a nice big banner for it on the homepage when you sign in today.
Currently, 17 of the 23MCU moviesare now on Disney Plus. There are a couple of reasons for the omissions, usually because other streaming services have the licenses to stream some entries, or other studios simply hold the distribution rights to key movies (the Spider-Man films belong toSonyPictures, for example, while The Incredible Hulk belongs to Universal).
Still, by the end of next year,mostof the MCU will be on Disney Plus. The next movie to come to the service will be Black Panther, arriving on March 4 in the US. After that, Avengers: Infinity War lands on June 25, 2020, while Ant-Man and the Wasp will follow on July 29, 2020. It’s expected, too, that we’ll see the likes ofBlack Widowland not long after their home video releases.
Fan fodder
Thor: Ragnarok joins The Last Jedi as one of the headline movies coming to the service in December – the eighthStar Wars sagamovie lands on Christmas Day, just a few days after Rise of Skywalker arrives on 20 December.
Otherwise, the big highlight of December is Baby Yoda-starrerThe Mandalorian, which wraps up its first season on December 27. Basically, it’s a fantastic month to subscribe to Disney Plus if you’re aStar Warsfan.
