Team India captain Virat Kohli is often the most talked about player due to his onfield performances but in the first Test against West Indies, Kohli was seen reading a book called Detox Your Ego and his choice of book certainly left Twitter bemused.D23 kicked off today and one of the most hotly-anticipated reveals at the Expo is Disney Plus. The upcoming streaming service, that’s sure to be the downfall of Netflix, will bring together all of the Mouse House’s assets in one place online. And this new trailer for the platform up above teases everything that’s coming.
While it doesn’t feature any new footage, the preview should get just about any Disney fans excited by simply reminding us how much will be available on the service. There’s the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for one, and all of Star Wars. Then there’s the whole back catalogue of Disney animated movies – even the vaulted classics.
Also, let’s not forget about every movie Pixar’s ever made. Oh, and The Simpsons, which they’ve just got from Fox. All 30 seasons of the show will be up on Disney Plus from launch day. Plus, there’ll be 5,000 episodes of Disney Channel series, too.
The Disney Plus panel at D23 revealed a few new TV shows as well. These include a Lizzie McGuire sequel series, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (yes, that’s the real title), Forky Asks a Question – spinning off from Toy Story 4 – and Monsters at Work, another one from Pixar. New movies such as the Lady in the Tramp remake, Anna Kendrick Christmas flick Noelle and a Phineas & Ferb film are likewise in the works.
Then, of course, there’s The Mandarlorian and all those MCU shows that were previously announced to arrive across 2020 and 2021. In other words, there’s going to be a ton of content on Disney Plus and it’d be wise to subscribe to the service when it goes live this November so you don’t miss out on anything.
In the eyes of this comic book reader, Thor: Love and Thunder marks a major turning point for the legacy hero concept. For the most part, this is something we haven’t seen much of in the live action realm. I mean, Sam Wilson will seemingly do his thing as the new Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier for Disney Plus, but to see Jane Foster lifting Mjolnir on the silver screen is nothing short of monumental.
As you may have heard, Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi is returning to helm this adventure, so that’s been forcing True Believers to speculate on which characters may carry over from his previous effort. These days, you can never be too sure, especially since we’re going with a different headlining talent.
Well, if Jeff Goldblum were to get his way, we’d probably see more of the Grandmaster. Here’s what the optimistic legend told SyFy Wire at the D23 Expo:
“I can’t give away any secrets, and there’s been rumors and rumblings…I love that character, I love working with Taika Waititi especially, he’s a brilliant director.”

From the look of it, Goldblum is doing his best to play it coy, yet it’s pretty obvious he wants to come back. As he continued, we were really given the impression that Marvel Studios have left a very good impression on him, saying:
“The people at Marvel, they know how to make a movie. It’s been a very pleasant experience. They are very kind. I love that cast. I want to do something with Taika for sure.”
Thor: Love and Thunder arrives in theaters on November 5th, 2021. Keeping watching this space, as we hope to one day confirm a Jeff Goldblum return. His character wasn’t left in the greatest of positions when we last saw him, so no guarantees can be made.
As we inch closer towards the launch date for Disney Plus – the company’s brand new streaming service which is looking to take on Netflix and Amazon Prime – the House of Mouse has started to give fans a better idea of what they can come to expect on November 12th.
Even though already-announced content will slowly be added to the service over the first two years, there’s plenty in store for launch day. In terms of TV shows, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (that really needs a better name) and The Mandalorian are going to be available right from the start, along with a few other docuseries, shorts and international programming that will debut in North America for the first time.
When it comes to movies, there are a few documentaries to enjoy, but most Disney fans are anxious to check out the live-action remake of Lady and the Tramp. And now, thanks to the trailer up above, we finally have our first proper look at it.
The reimagining will star Tessa Thompson (who plays Valkyrie in the MCU) and Justin Theroux (who wrote the screenplay for the oft-maligned Iron Man 2) as the titular pups, with Janelle Monae, Benedict Wong (from Doctor Strange) and Sam Elliott as some of the other dogs.
This new version seems to follow the original film pretty closely (with the iconic spaghetti smooch scene making the cut), though we’ve heard Disney is retooling the Siamese Cats, whose depiction has been criticized for racial stereotyping. Their song is also being rewritten and will be performed by Monae.
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too long to watch Lady and the Tramp for ourselves, as it’s set to premiere alongside Disney Plus on November 12th. Until then, be sure to check out the debut trailer above and let us know what you think of it.

Disney’s upcoming Disney+ streaming service is shaping up to be quite the deal. According to CNET, the service will launch on November 12th with support for four simultaneous streams and 4K included, all for the base price of $6.99 a month. Subscribers will also be able to create and manage up to seven profiles on a single account.
That will make it highly competitive with Netflix, which raised its prices earlier this year and has in place stricter limitations on simultaneous streams. Netflix now costs $9 a month for a standard definition plan with only one available stream. If you want HD streaming, you need to pay $13 a month, and that gets you two simultaneous streams. For 4K and four simultaneous streams, it’s $16 a month. (The...

We don’t know much about how Marvel will fold Fox’s former properties, like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, into the MCU just yet, but something we are sure of is that we’ll be seeing more of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. The actor is now indistinguishable from the character, so there’s no way they’d replace him. What’s more, the past two DP movies were the highest-grossing entries in Fox’s X-Men franchise, so that’s further incentive to keep him.
The latest promise that the Merc with a Mouth will be back comes via Disney’s sizzle reel at D23 today. The Disney Legends ceremony kicked off with a reel of footage which teased the studio’s upcoming projects, including everything from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to those Avatar sequels. And as ScreenRant reports, a clip from Deadpool was also featured in the footage, which naturally got a huge cheer from fans in the crowd.
While Disney including some old scenes of the antihero in their sizzle reel doesn’t say much on the surface, it actually speaks volumes. Note that no other clips from Fox’s X-Men movies were highlighted. That’s because it’s been all but confirmed that we won’t be seeing the rest of the mutants again. Only Reynolds’ Regenerating Degenerate will survive the studio switch, according to reports.
Of course, there’s been a lot of chatter about whether Disney will have to tone down DP’s style to fit in with their brand, but most signs are actually pointing to a positive outcome. Deadpool 2 director David Leitch is optimistic that a happy medium will be met, while Disney CEO Bob Iger has maintained that R-rated Marvel films are a possibility. Likewise, Kevin Feige has also promised that he doesn’t want to change a thing about the Deadpool movies.
This tease in the sizzle reel might even hint that further info on DP’s future in the MCU is coming later this weekend at D23. As such, stay tuned to WGTC for all the latest updates.
Ewan McGregor’s long-rumored Obi-Wan series is officially coming to Disney+, the company confirmed today.
McGregor was onstage at D23, the company’s biennial convention, to make the announcement. “It feels so nice to say,” McGregor said.
Disney and Lucasfilm originally planned a feature-length theatrical Star Wars spinoff, according to a Hollywood Reporter story from 2017. But after two Star Wars spinoff films, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story, didn’t perform as well as Disney had hoped, the Obi-Wan side story was reportedly taken off the table. A third spinoff movie was planned (reportedly poised to focus on Boba Fett), but Disney and Lucasfilm decided to not move forward. The company ended up pushing back...

The first public trailer for Jon Favreau’s highly anticipated Star Wars series The Mandalorian has arrived, and it looks fantastic.
Although a similar trailer was shown at Star Wars Celebration, it was never made available to the public. The trailer opens with helmets on stakes, and ominous shots of people hanging out in the desert. Then it moves into Star Wars action — fighting spaceships, battling droids, and face-to-face confrontations. It certainly feels freakier than a traditional Star Wars movie, but it also feels extremely Star Wars.
The Mandalorian is one of the biggest launch titles coming to the new streaming service Disney+. It’s heavily inspired by fan-favorite character Boba Fett and his father, Jango. The new Mandalorian...

Disney unveiled the first look at its live-action adaptation of Lady and the Tramp today, featuring two adorable pups trying to make sense of a live-action world.
Lady and the Tramp is just another installment in Disney’s live-action remake blitz, following The Lion King, Aladdin, and Dumbo earlier this year. Unlike those three films, however, Lady and the Tramp won’t screen in theaters. It’s a Disney+ exclusive, meaning those who want to watch it will have to sign up for Disney’s streaming service.
It was originally set to be released in theaters, but Disney changed its strategy to encourage more people to sign up for Disney+. Lady and the Tramp is the studio’s first major release to get the treatment. It might be for the best,...

In addition to the freshly announced Ms. Marvel TV series, familiar Marvel characters She-Hulk and Moon Knight are heading to Disney+ to star in their own separate TV series, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced today at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.
She-Hulk is Jennifer Walters, cousin of original Hulk Bruce Banner. After Walters received a blood transfusion from Banner, she accidentally took in some of his gamma poisoning and became an intelligent, controlled iteration of the Hulk. Moon Knight is about a mercenary named Mark Specter who was left for dead in the Egyptian desert. Marvel describes the character as a man “struggling with multiple personalities and amoral inclinations” who acts like a cloaked avenger.
