  • RUMOR: ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Premier Access to End in June

    RUMOR: ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Premier Access to End in June

    Marvel Studios is about to enter its next test to see if their upcoming release of Raya and the Last Dragon could turn profitable. The film will release in March. Kelly Marie Tran is tackling the leading role alongside Awkwafina, who will be the titular dragon. The first official trailer was released just a few days ago to kick-start the marketing of their next attempt at this streaming model. Now, the big question on everyone’s mind was if Disney might take a different approach with Premier Access this time around. Shortly before Mulan was released, they announced that the film is free for all Disney+ subscribers. It was made available three months after its initial paid release, and it seems that Raya and the Last Dragon might follow a similar model. According to Streaming Buffer, they discovered the planned release date in the source code.

     

     

    It looks like the film might be eyeing a release on June 8th for all Disney+ subscribers for free. Yet, some interesting stipulations may go against this. First off, June 8th is a Tuesday, which is uncommon for a streaming release. Disney+ commonly aims for a Friday, which was the case for Mulan. The three-month difference does sound reasonable, but it is uncertain after Mulan’s underperformed if they would stick to the same release window. Also, we tried to cross-reference the source code within Disney+, but there is currently no specific menu for the upcoming film.

    As such, we weren’t able to replicate the availability of this data. It currently is not available in either the US or German service. The only thing we were able to confirm is that there is a. link for /rayainfo that links back to the help center. So, there could be some validity to the showcased data. For now, we can only take it with a grain of salt until some more evidence gets revealed. There is a chance this is also just a placeholder once the page is made available in the service.

  • New ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Trailer Teases a Mystical Adventure

    New ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Trailer Teases a Mystical Adventure

    After revisiting the land of Arendale in 2019’s Frozen 2, Walt Disney Animation Studios is heading to the East and explore the story of Raya. It was among the many films that were delayed as a result of the 2020 pandemic, which will now see a release via Disney+ Premier Access and in theaters. As we are only a little over a month away, Disney released a brand new trailer for Raya and the Last Dragon giving us our first official look at Kelly Marie Tran’s Raya and Awkwafina‘s dragon Sisu.

    The film was directed by Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada alongside Paul Briggs and John Ripa as co-directors. The story takes place in the world of Kumandra, where the dragons once sacrificed their lives to save humanity from a great evil. Now that the evil has returned after 500 years, the young warrior Raya sets out to track down the last dragon. The visuals alone are already showcasing how far Disney has come in its 3D animation department. The film has a stellar cast with Gemma Chan, Daniel Dae Kim, Sandra Oh, Benedict Wong, Izaac Wang, and many more. The trailer also came with a brand new poster:

    Raya and the Last Dragon is the second film t premiere on Disney+’s new Premium Access function. The movie will be available for $29.99 once it releases on March 5th. Everyone is going to keep an eye on the film’s release, as it may determine if the rest of the Disney line-up for 2021 gets delayed. the film looks to be a great addition to the Disney line-up and you can’t go wrong with a film that includes a baby that can do kung-fu.

  • Analyzing the Influences of the 50s and 60s Episodes of ‘WANDAVISION’

    Analyzing the Influences of the 50s and 60s Episodes of ‘WANDAVISION’

    WandaVision has finally premiered on Disney+, which means we’ve finally got our first real showcase of the way the cast and crew incorporated various sitcoms into the story. Each of the first two episodes was not only rooted in a different decade, but a specific show from that decade…well, sort of.

    The 1950s

    Did You Catch This Easter Egg in the WANDAVISION Trailer? - Nerdist

    Episode 1 begins the series in the era which marked the dawn of television sitcoms: the 1950s. I was expecting a lot more imagery and references to the most iconic of 1950’s sitcoms, I Love Lucy, and that it would be the main inspiration behind the episode, but that show has been parodied and referenced so much that it seems almost like a cliche at this point and to do too much of that would have probably felt cartoonish.

    So I was totally game to see different way of taking on the era. But it was odd that the main overall inspiration for the 1950’s set episode is clearly The Dick Van Dyke Show…which first aired in 1961.

    Thankfully, the clothing, manner of speech, and music (“Yakety Yak” came out in 1959) are all grounded in the intended decade. The main things inspired from The Dick Van Dyke Show are the house set and the episode’s plot. While the storyline isn’t directly lifted from the series, the very first episode of Dick Van Dyke sees the show’s central couple attend a dinner party in order to impress the main character’s boss and being coerced into entertaining the guests at the event.

    The other element of the episode that is reminiscent Dick Van Dyke’s is the theme song, from the similar music and tune to the imagery, specifically the moment with Vision trying to carry Wanda into the house bridal-style but dropping her as he walks through the door without opening it. (On Dick Van Dyke the bridal carrying is ruined by tripping upon entering the house).

    The 1960s

    WandaVision Episode 2 Recap: 1960s Magic, for the Children | NDTV Gadgets 360

    The creators of WandaVision probably elected to pass off The Dick Van Dyke Show as a 1950’s series so they could reserve the 1960’s episode for the show most obviously suited to a show about Scarlet Witch, Bewitched.

    The references to Bewitched in this episode are similar to that of The Dick Van Dyke Show in the previous one. The set is very similar to the one seen on the classic sitcom, and the theme song for this era of WandaVision is mostly instrumental and the video for it is entirely animated. While Bewitched is the show most famous for this theme song format, several others of this era used it as well, including I Dream of Jeannie and Angel.

    Like the first, this episode’s plot also takes inspiration from the show it’s emulating; the Bewitched episode “It’s Magic” sees Samantha, the “witch” referenced in the show’s title, subbing in for a magician’s assistant at a charity show and secretly using magic in order to help him perform successfully despite his drunkenness.

    Another aspect of this episode’s storyline that also references Bewitched (and many other shows that were produced during the 1960s) is the change from black-and-white to color; Bewitched similarly began its run in black-and-white, but switched to color a few seasons into its run in 1966.

    Not a Crutch, But a Tool

    What I’m finding interesting about the sitcom elements of WandaVision is that some of the more minor references aren’t necessarily from shows that were on the air during the episode’s set time period. At one point in the first episode, Agnes brings a pineapple over for Wanda to use in the dinner party’s dessert, which some have speculated to be a reference to “The Pineapple Incident” on How I Met Your Mother (2005-2014). Later in the episode, a lobster appears as a door-knocker (which was not on the door when it was opened earlier in the show) which could be a reference to the famous lobster/soulmate comparison on Friends (1994-2004).

    So far it appears that WandaVision isn’t necessarily trying to make a lot of specific references to a bunch of famous sitcoms (other than the one inspiring the episode’s overall aesthetic and tone) but incorporating various tropes and using the style of the genre to tell its own story, which is ultimately the wisest decision for a show that will ultimately help propel the MCU forward.

  • Disney May Be Considering ‘Black Widow’ Disney+ Premium Access After All

    Disney May Be Considering ‘Black Widow’ Disney+ Premium Access After All

    The pandemic hasn’t been easy on Hollywood. Most of their 2020 releases got delayed as it was uncertain if worldwide quarantines would end anytime soon. Yet, there is the question if people would be willing to return to cinemas as long as that uncertainty remained. Marvel Studios had to push back its entire Phase 4 slate by a year. Most of the releases have been shifted around as a result as well. One of those releases was Black Widow. 

    It was supposed to kick off Phase 4 in May of last year only to get postponed into 2021. Now, WandaVision is officially taking over that duty in the next few days. Even after all this time, the pandemic still looms over our heads. Studios, as well as theaters, are still reeling from the heavy losses of 2020. So, there was still hope to hold the 2021 release dates. It seems that the latest strategy with Raya and the Last Dragon may be signaling a new direction after all.

     

     

    Raya will premiere in March simultaneously on Disney+ Premium Access and theaters. It isn’t too dissimilar from how Warner Bros. currently has mapped out their entire 2021 release plan. Still, Disney has denied that any such whispers but happened, but we’ve seen them deny such claims once before. Pixar’s Soul went through a similar development before getting released on Disney+. It’s not an easy decision for Disney, as constantly postponing their releases doesn’t help their current plans. It leaves many to wonder if Disney would be willing to pull the trigger and risk it all with a Hollywood blockbuster such as Black Widow come May 2021. Right now, there are too many factors to say if theaters will return to what they once were by May.

  • Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead Join ‘Moon Knight’

    Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead Join ‘Moon Knight’

    We are only a week away from WandaVision finally premiering. Disney+ will be a new hub for Marvel Studios to expand into completely new territory. They have already revealed a wide variety of shows that include the introduction of the teenage superhero Ms. Marvel, Clint passing on the torch in Hawkeye, and chasing the legacy of Captain America in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. One of the biggest additions is the inclusion of Moon Knight. The story about a former mercenary losing his mind and becoming a vigilante has just as many facets as Marc Spector has personalities.

    It was a huge reveal when it was announced that Oscar Isaac was being eyed for the lead role. Shortly after, we got the confirmation that Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab was also going to join the show, which is spearheaded by showrunner Jeremy Slater. It looks like he will be joined by two more directors, as The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead will also be directing some episodes. There is no exact number given, but THR confirms that Diab will be responsible for a sizeable chunk of the episode count.

    The show is expected to start filming in Budapest as of March. Benson and Moorhead have made their name with their low-budget horror film in 2013, Resolution. They got on Guillermo del Toro‘s radar after the release of their film Spring a year later. Their latest film Synchronic included Marvel veteran Anthony Mackie in its cast. It’ll be interesting to see what they bring to the table, as they explore Spector’s broken psyche.

  • Review: Pixar’s ‘SOUL’

    Review: Pixar’s ‘SOUL’

    When Pixar released its first feature film. Toy Story, in 1995, the studio also made its opening argument for animated films to stop being considered as “kid’s movies.” Sure your kids are going to fall in love with the characters and have a great time, but in many cases, truly understanding the lessons that are conveyed through these films requires having shared some of the experiences that we see the characters going through on-screen and most children just haven’t been down those roads. This is one of the reasons that society has latched on to these films and that they’ve become so cherished over time: as we move through life and experience, the movies come to mean different things to us. Simply put, as we change, so does what we take away from these films. Pixar has created modern-day fables meant not just to be enjoyed, but to impart wisdom that can help guide us through life. Their latest entry, Soul, does just that, delivering an eye-opening message at the end of a soul-crushing 2020. This film couldn’t have come at a better time and jumps into the top tier of Pixar films for me.

    Soul is directed by Pete Docter who previously helmed Pixar classics Monsters Inc., Up and Inside Out and has definitely hit the mark here as his latest entry certainly stands tall among an already impressive body of work. Up, which was nominated for 5 Academy Awards and took home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, stands as Pixar’s most adult-oriented feature to date; Inside Out, which also won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, was one of 2015’s most heartwrenching films as we watched the all-too-real danger that teens face in losing themselves in depression. Soul carries on that adult conversation from Up and, in a good way, seems derivative of Inside Out; in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the DNA of Soul came together during the production of Inside Out. Whatever the case, Docter’s direction of the screenplay that he co-wrote with Mike Jones and Kemp Powers, takes us on an existential journey that leaves us wondering what it is that truly makes life worth living and reminds us that we often take for granted what it truly means to be alive. Like Up and Inside Out before it, Soul is bound to find itself nominated in the appropriate categories.

    Soul follows middle-aged middle-school band teacher and lifelong music lover Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx) as he follows up the biggest break of his life with the biggest misstep of his life. Shortly after landing his dream gig playing piano for the incredible Dorthea Williams quartet at the Half Note, the club where his passion for music was first unlocked, Gardner falls into an open manhole and enters the Great Beyond. Not ready to move on to the afterlife on the biggest day of his actual life, Gardner escapes the Great Beyond and finds himself in the Great Before: the place where souls attain the aspects of their personalities (like Boy Scout badges) before gaining their Earth passes and “living.” Gardner’s escape offsets the “count” and alerts the Great Beyond’s accountant, Terry (Rachel House). As Gardner tries to avoid discovery and find his way back to Earth, he unknowingly becomes the mentor of Soul 22 (Tina Fey). Mentors are tasked with helping their mentees fill in the final spot on their Earth passes by helping them find their “spark”, the thing that makes life worth living, something that 22 has no interest in every doing.

    Joe and 22 go on a wild adventure that involves a bunch of Jerrys, body-swapping, a cat, a fantastic hippie named Moonwind (Graham Norton), a terrifying desert of lost souls and a race against time. As 22 experiences life through Joe’s eyes through a series of firsts, she grows more and more open to the idea that life is worth living. 22’s chance to finally find her spark, Joe’s role as a mentor, his lifelong fears and his future all rest in the balance as Terry is intent on setting the count right.

    Foxx and Fey both give incredibly strong performances and work well off one another, but not just when it’s time to be funny. Their journey runs us through the full spectrum of emotions, including a montage where Foxx’s Joe reminisces both about his own life and his time with 22 that’s going to cause a lot of tears to be shed. While none of the other voice actors steal the show, Norton’s Moonwind and House’s Terry are great and, along with Alice Braga’s Jerry, give us plenty to chew on. Stunning visuals are a trademark of Pixar, but what they’ve pulled off here in their depiction of the Great Before is something entirely unprecedented. The way it looks, the way the inhabitants look and the way they move through it make the Great Before one of Pixar’s most incredible creations to date.

    Of course, a setting is just a setting and ultimately the quality of this film rests on the story it tells and the impact it has on the audience and it’s here that Soul hits the hardest, especially as we approach the end of 2020, a year we’d all love to forget. Soul makes no bones about it: so many of us are so busy living, that we forget to live. It reminds us that the little things, the “ordinary living”, the experiences that we come to take for granted are what make life truly wonderful and sometimes it takes a shift in perspective to remind us to appreciate them. In a time when so many lost so much, Soul reminds us that in a world that seems to be obsessed with the next big thing and is full of bad news, slowing down and appreciating the world full of wonders in which we all live can put us back in touch with what it means to truly LIVE!

    Pixar’s Soul will stream on Disney Plus beginning on December 25th.

  • Marvel Studios Reveals New “Legends” Disney+ Series

    Marvel Studios Reveals New “Legends” Disney+ Series

    Looks like Marvel isn’t done just yet.

     

    Fresh off their massive panel from Disney’s Investor Day last Thursday, with dozens of new shows and projects in development, it looks like we’re also getting one more additional new series for Disney+. In an official tweet, they revealed Marvel Studios: Legends, which will recap the most iconic moments from various character’s history in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We can also expect the show to be added soon, as it is slated for a January 8th release with two episodes.

    Based on the description, it seems that this is going to be a highlight reel for the MCU characters. It could also showcase their comics origins, the MCU adaptation, their journey across the Infinity Saga thus far, and what the future might hold for them. Since the first two episodes are about Wanda and Vision just a few days before the premiere of WandaVision, Marvel’s strategy for this could be that it acts as a quick recap for those catching up on the franchise’s 10+ year history.

    So, there is a good chance that we can expect the next episodes to focus on Falcon, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Loki, and Hawkeye. They could also use this to highlight characters connected to newer introductions, such as Carol Danvers getting featured shortly before Ms. Marvel airs. We have no exact info on the format or length of these episodes, but they probably are kept short going over the character’s biggest moments. We will find out more once the first two episodes air next year on January 8th.

  • Disney+ Expansion Confirmed to Include Mature-Content in International Markets

    Disney+ Expansion Confirmed to Include Mature-Content in International Markets

    It has been a long-time coming but finally, Disney confirmed that Disney+ will expand beyond its family-friendly focus. There were quite a few rumors going around that they would combine with Hulu and Star. It made sense, as Disney+ was lacking any R-rated content and seemed rather restrictive if you consider offers by their competitors. Well, they have confirmed that the STAR branding will take Hulu’s place in international markets with a brand new look. India is getting a combined service with Disney+ Hotstar. It looks like Star will be fully integrated into Disney+ with original and library entertainment series. It will be available and launched on February 23rd.

    That means the price of Disney+ will rise to 8.99 € as it includes additional footage. You can access it via the main channels but you have to access it via a password. So the core content is expanded in the main menu. Latin America will also have access to the standalone STAR+ service. It is really confusing how each market has a different streaming service and availability.

  • ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Heading to Disney+ Premier Access

    ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Heading to Disney+ Premier Access

    Looks like Raya and the Last Dragon are joining Mulan through the Premier Access strategy. We originally thought they might not return to utilize this service, but it seems they saw the potential to keep it around. Soul is still set to release for free, so it is interesting that the Disney original animated film will be hidden behind a paywall. They haven’t revealed the costs that are involved, so it is uncertain if they will stick with their $30 price but for now this is a great reveal. It could tease many more films heading to the service that are just waiting to be revealed in the rest of the event. The film stars Awkwafina and Kelly Marie Tran and will release in March.

  • What To Expect from Disney’s Investor Day

    What To Expect from Disney’s Investor Day

    Disney’s Investor Day will be held virtually this year on December 10th, 2020.

    2020 has been quite an unconventional year, to say the least. Especially if you’re a big Hollywood studio. Movies and movie studios have taken a heavy hit this year with the pandemic forcing theaters worldwide to shut down. As time went on, some studios tried to return to a sense of normality by reopening some theaters and distributing their movies there. Others adapted and tried a more “direct-to-streaming” PVoD approach with their films. But no matter the case, it’s forced some studios to delay their projects and production slates. But now, we’ll able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, as the Walt Disney Company will hold its virtual Investor Day tomorrow.

     

    What exactly goes down on Investor Day?

    Disney’s Investor Day is this particular event where Disney gathers its assets and fellow production companies to discuss their current status and what’s ahead for the company either next year (2021) or in the foreseeable future. Now last year, Disney focused its Investor Day on its “Comprehensive Direct-to-Consumer Strategy”, giving presentations for Disney+, Hulu, Hotstar, ESPN+ and of course, they also discussed how Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic fit into their program at the time. That presentation lasted for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. This year, it is expected that they will follow suit to last year and discuss the future of Disney+ in a presentation that is expected to last a total of 4 hours. Deadline has also confirmed that they will announce “new projects from Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Pixar that will encompass TV as well as theatrical.”

    Expect “Expansion”

    We can expect Disney to shed some light on exactly how well the streaming platform did for its first year of service since debuting on November 12th last year. As of September of 2020, Disney+ had gained a net total of 73.7 million subscribers, and that number is before Disney+ was made available in Latin America, so we expect that number of subscribers to grow by the time the event rolls around tomorrow. Not only that, but we can also expect Disney+ to make some expansion announcements tomorrow, specifically to Southeast Asia. Twitter User @DrewsClues found this very interesting information, with Disney making a search in Southeast Asia, hiring personnel for Disney+ in Southeast Asia.

    https://twitter.com/drewsclues/status/1335442360667426817?s=21

     

    Expect some shifts from Disney’s theatrical slate.

    We might see Disney officially confirm projects that were originally slated to release in theaters shift to Disney+. Some of those projects include the likes of Cruella, and the live-action remakes of Peter Pan and Pinocchio.

    We may also hear announcements of possible Disney live-action remakes that may be making our way to the big screen soon, as well as possible announcements to future Disney+ original shows. Speaking of Disney+…

    Expect more details on ‘premier access’

    We all know of Disney’s experiment with Mulan and Premier Access from way back when in September and it seems the experiment really took off. Let’s take a look at what Bob Iger had to say regarding Premier Access during their Q4 2020 Earnings Results Webcast back in November:

    Based off on what we’re reading, it seems that those ideas of Premier Access being a “one-off” are certainly untrue and that we can expect more titles to be released on Premier Access. However, I find it possible that Disney might consider reducing the price tag on the films they might release under their platform considering the reception Mulan received. Now, what titles could Disney release under the brand? There’s a number of potential candidates that could be released via this format as a way to compete with Warner’s decision to push their entire 2021 slate to HBO Max.

    Expect the announcement of ‘Disney+ Star’

    Joseph Aberl could probably tell you more about this project than I can but one of the most exciting parts of this upcoming Investor Day is the announcement of a new section in Disney+ called “Disney+ Star.” Now, Disney+ Star is rumored to essentially be a section of Disney+ that’s more focused on adult content and that it will require a pin code to access such content. We might see the addition of films from some of the companies Disney managed to purchase in recent years such as 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, A&E, and more. To read more on that, feel free to check out Joseph’s article on Disney+ Star.

     

    Expect announcements/trailers from Marvel Studios

    As we mentioned earlier in the article, Deadline confirmed that we can expect announcements regarding new projects from Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Pixar that will encompass TV as well as theatrical. So let’s start with Marvel Studios. Right now, Marvel Studios has been extremely silent and rightfully so. It is the first time since 2009 that we go an entire year without a Marvel Studios production. The entire Phase 4 slate has seen a bit of mix up these past few months, with a lot of projects currently left up in the air without an official date. Now that the pandemic is starting to lift the pressure off studios and we see the light at the end of the tunnel, with the rollout of vaccines across the world, it might be a good time for Marvel to set some of its dates in stone.

    1. We’ll see a new Phase 4 slate (Extremely Likely)

    As of today, these are ALL of the projects Marvel Studios has OFFICIALLY announced, and before the pandemic, most of their production and premiere dates were all set in stone. But since the pandemic, a lot of these projects were forced to delay their releases, with no official dates in sight outside of WandaVision, which premieres on January 15th, and Black Widow which premieres in May. Notice how originally, Black Widow was meant to kick off Phase 4 but with the pandemic forcing its delay, it pushed WandaVision to the front of the line. We may expect to see some new dates set for these films and perhaps a slight shift here and there.

     

    2. We’ll get our first looks at some of the upcoming Disney+ shows (Likely)

    With WandaVision set to debut on January 15th, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and Loki finally having completed filming, and the animated What If? show well into nonstop production since its announcement, 2021 is completely stacked in terms of Marvel Studios content for Disney+ shows. Now that nearly all of these projects are pretty much completed in production it might be a good time to present investors (and fans) with another trailer for the upcoming WandaVision show. We believe that Marvel has been setting up a sort of countdown in these past few days with some posters for WandaVision so be sure to check out that theory piece. It’ll also be a good time for Marvel to give us our first trailers for shows like The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Loki, and the animated What If?. I also expect Feige to give us an update on shows like Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel, which just started production as well as the upcoming Moon Knight and She-Hulk series, starring Oscar Issac and Tatiana Maslany respectively.

     

    3. We’ll get some more Disney+ series announcements (Likely)

    Charles Murphy had taken up the task of creating an incredible article about what to expect from the future of the MCU and when to expect it, so do be sure to check that out! But back at the matter at hand, it is likely that Marvel might also take the time to announce some projects, some that we already know of like the Nick Fury Disney+ show. Marvel might also take the time to address some of the Disney+ rumors of characters that might join the MCU via these types of shows like Ironheart, S.W.O.R.D., Secret Warriors, and Ghost Rider.

     

    4. We’ll get some more theatrical news (Unlikely)

    If you’ve been paying attention to the news as of late, you might have noticed that multiple trades and blogs have been dropping Marvel news these past few months regarding the MCU films such as Kang the Conqueror being confirmed for Ant-Man 3, Christian Bale in Thor: Love and Thunder, and the massive bombshell that dropped yesterday regarding Spider-Man 3 with the castings of Alfred Molina, Andrew Garfield, Kirsten Dunst and the rumors of Tobey Maguire and Emma Stone joining the film for what seems to be a live-action iteration of the Spider-Verse. We’ve discussed the possibility of Marvel making the move to push Black Widow to a possible hybrid release both in theaters and Disney+ via its Premier Access service. AND not only that but Marvel has yet to address any details regarding films like Captain Marvel 2, Black Panther 2, Blade, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Deadpool 3, and so on. Whether or not Kevin Feige takes the opportunity to announce any details regarding any of these projects remains to be seen, but I at least find it unlikely.

     

    Expect announcements and details from Lucasfilm

    Apart from Marvel Studios, we also expect Lucasfilm to announce some of its upcoming slate as well. They might tout some of the massive success that the second season of the Mandalorian has generated and will discuss what might be in store for the future of the show as well. Our very own João Pinto had also taken up the task of creating an incredible article about what to expect from the future of Star Wars and when to expect it, so do be sure to check that out! In there, we discuss A TON of goodies that Lucasfilm might discuss tomorrow. Among those are the series focused on Boba Fett, Cassian Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Bad Batch. We also might get the confirmation of series that have been rumored to be in development for some time, such as a show focused on Bo-Katan as well as a show around Ahsoka Tano. And of course, there is the possibility that Kathleen Kennedy might possibly discuss the future of the Star Wars films as well, so we’ll have to stay tuned for that one.

     

    Expect announcements from Pixar

    We are also expected to take a peek at what Pixar has been working on behind the scenes in terms of future animated films (and possibly even series). They may discuss the upcoming movie Soul, which is expected to be released on Disney+ this coming December 25th, as well as discussing their upcoming project, Luca.

     

    Whatever happens tomorrow during Disney’s Investor Day, you can be sure that Murphy’s Multiverse will be sure to keep you all covered on all the announcements the event brings.
