Disney’s all new streaming platform hasn’t even launched yet and it is still making huge announcements. The service, which was tentatively titled Disney Play but will now go by Disney+, was formally announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger during a live audio webcast of Disney’s fiscal full year and fourth quarter 2018 financial results.
During the event he confirmed a second Star Wars series that will follow Cassian Andor, Diego Luna‘s character in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and a Loki series starring Tom Hiddleston. More on the report, below.
Less than one year from now, Marvel Studios in unleashing Captain America: Civil War, a multi-superhero epic event of a motion picture that could be even bigger than Avengers: Age of Ultron (but will likely be dwarfed by the two-part Avengers: Infinity War). Principal photography commenced not long ago, and thanks to JoBlo some possible details regarding the plot of Civil War and how the galaxy of Marvel heroes involved will be outfitted for action have leaked.
After revealing a new Thor on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, Marvel Comics had another big reveal to make on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report. Marvel Comics Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada joined the show to announce who would be the next Captain America, after Steve Rogers lost his powers in Captain America #21. Sam Wilson a.k.a. The Falcon, Cap’s longtime partner and friend will be taking over the role of Captain America.
Quesada revealed the first image of the new Captain America, which blends the classic costume with The Falcon’s familiar wings. Quesada also presented host Stephen Colbert with a picture of the talk show host as a new replacement Falcon, since Sam Wilson will be otherwise occupied.
Check out the first picture of Sam Wilson as Captain America below and let us know if this has you excited or not.
