So much to do, so little time in the day.
Disney Looking at Own Streaming Service? – Disney is looking to launch their own service in 2019 and is looking to pull a lot of their content from Netflix as the service gets closer. Disney will also look to make a “significant investment” in original movies and series that will only be available on the platform. They bought 33% (or $1.58 billion) of BAM Tech. This is part of the reason why Netflix bought Millarworld, as Disney will be pulling all Marvel films and non Netflix-exclusive t.v. shows from the service.
Silver and Black Update – The Hashtag Show is reporting more details of the upcoming “Silver and Black” movie. In it, Silver Sablinova, aka Silver Sable, is a bounty hunter working for the U.S. government. Sable has her sights set on Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, a high-end burglar who has stolen from tons of people who now want to take her down.
Opinion: This is the typical “enemies turned friends” storyline I’d imagine. If we don’t see Sable and Black Cat working together during the third act, I’ll be surprised.
