From Bridgerton to Pam & Tommy, streaming services have changed the way we watch some of the biggest films and TV shows. But as popular as they may be, after Netflix announced its recent price hike, the on-demand video service industry doesn’t come cheap. In fact, subscribing to Netflix, Disney+, Now, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video and Britbox could cost upwards of £43 a month – and that’s without any upgrades or deluxe packages.

Back To The Future star Christopher Lloyd has joined the cast of Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian.On Friday (March 18), it was announced that Lloyd – best known for his role as Dr. Emmett Brown in Back To The Future – has joined the cast of the hit Disney+ show and will appear in season three.The Mandalorian, which also stars Pedro Pascal and Giancarlo Esposito, is currently filming its third season in Southern California.While details surrounding Lloyd’s role have not yet been disclosed, it’s described as “guest-starring in nature”.While details of season three are scarce, actor Katee Sackhoff did disclose last November that her character has “unfinished business”. The second season of the show, which won seven Craft Emmy Awards last year, saw Sackhoff appear for the first time as rival Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze.Sackhoff was last seen fighting for possession of the powerful Darksaber, which was acquired in season two by Pedro Pascal’s hero Din Djarin.“The way that Lucasfilm left me in season two, one of the roads that could be gone down – absolutely, you’d think – would be the unfinished business,” Sackhoff told Slash Film.“But that is so far above my pay grade, and you just don’t know, right? As a fan of the show, I’m just excited to see what they come up with.” Reviewing season two of the show, NME said: “…The plot is tweaked enough that it doesn’t feel stale … this franchise is finally on an exciting new path.

Naman Ramachandran Future Studios and women’s destination Marie Claire are teaming for digital true crime series “On the Record with Marie Claire.”The seven-part anthology series will feature female-focused stories of women seeking justice, told from the viewpoint of a central character directly linked to the case in question.

A deconstructionist remix of the genre, the series dramatizes how the world’s greatest hero — The Plutonian — snapped under the pressure of his responsibilities and charted a dark path to become the world’s greatest supervillain. “Irredeemable’s” sister series, “Incorruptible,” flipped the coin and followed supervillain Max Damage as he responded to the Plutonian’s evil by gradually transforming himself into a superhero.

Marvel Studios is really embracing the idea of Disney+. In a little more than a year, the studio has used the streaming platform to develop shows that dive a little deeper into the character stuff that we have come to know and love in the MCU.

first reported on Twitter by journalist Judd Legum of the newsletter Popular Information, strikes back against Chapek’s comments — in both a company-wide memo sent to Disney employees and subsequent remarks at the company’s annual shareholder meeting — purporting to stand with the company’s LGBTQ employees and the LGBTQ community more broadly.In the memo, issued earlier this week, Chapek defended the company’s decision not to issue a statement on the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill — a piece of “parental rights” legislation that seeks to keep parents informed of any changes in the way schools deal with their children, particularly with respect to affirming a child’s gender identity or sexual orientation without the parents’ knowledge.The bill explicitly bans teacher- or school-led discussions of LGBTQ-related topics up to the third grade, and requires that any conversations in older grades be age-appropriate and “developmentally appropriate.” But critics say that, in practice, given the pressure on teachers and the lack of support from administrators seeking to appease overly-sensitive or litigious parents, schools — and individual teachers — will preemptively censor student speech or LGBTQ-related content, even at the middle and high school levels. Chapek’s memo was issued in response to demonstrations by LGBTQ groups outside of Disney theme parks in Florida and California, as well as simmering discontent among employees, which stemmed not only from what critics characterized as a tepid response to the bill, but from an Orlando Sentinel report that Disney donated to every politician who sponsored and co-sponsored the legislation.In the internal memo, Chapek said the company “unequivocally” stands in support of its LGBTQ

Disney executives have censored gay affection in its films.In an open letter attributed to LGBTQIA+ animators and allies at the studio (obtained by Variety), it reads: “We have personally witnessed beautiful stories, full of diverse characters, come back from Disney corporate reviews shaved down to crumbs of what they once were.“Nearly every moment of overtly gay affection is cut at Disney’s behest, regardless of when there is protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar.”The letter is in response to Disney’s messaging around the recently passed legislation in Florida known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which blocks the discussion of LGBT+ identities in schools.Disney’s soft reaction to the legislation attracted widespread criticism.

Marvel movie. You’re working long hours and barely have time to shop for groceries or get in any exercise, let alone do yardwork or socialize.

For all intents and purposes, Disney is synonymous with Florida. That’s where Disney World is, and that’s kinda where everyone just assumes the corporation does most of its business.

There was an updated theatrical release slate from Disney circulating earlier in the week and one of the puzzling things that stood out was that 20th Century Studios is mainly pushing out four “Avatar” sequels between 2022-2028.
