Disney Plus UK: What’s New in April 2020?
Here's what's coming to Disney+ UK in April...
Disney+ finally launched in the UK during the last week of March with a fairly robust library that included a massive collection of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Also in the wind is the possibility that Marvel’s 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…
