Disney Plus UK: What’s New in April 2020?

TV

Disney+ finally launched in the UK during the last week of March with a fairly robust library that included a massive collection of The Simpsons from its recently-acquired Fox catalogue, but there was a little rough with the smooth, as the streaming service decided to include just two episodes of its flagship Star Wars live-action series, The Mandalorian, and there were some clear discrepancies between the bonuses of being a US and UK subscriber – there hasn’t yet been a peep out of Disney+ on the whereabouts of Frozen 2, nor has there yet been any news of a premiere date for Pixar’s Onward or Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Also in the wind is the possibility that Marvel’s Black Widow, which has been removed from the theatrical release schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic, might end up streaming on Disney+. As it stands, this is pretty unlikely – a Marvel source told Variety that “pushing Black Widow affects nothing on the MCU timeline.” Given that info, it doesn’t feel like the studio would be in a rush to forgo a cinema release for its Black Widow solo film and make the film available to stream, even at an eye-wateringly high rental price via other streaming providers.

In the meantime, here’s an official list of the content Disney+ is planning to add to its lineup in April…
