Disney+ Announces Huge Summer Movie Release Schedule Including Marvel, Star Wars and Disney

The COVID-19 pandemic has completely upended the film industry as we know it, with theaters largely still being shut down due to social distancing requirements. As a result, movie buffs are having to seek out content on streaming services and video on demand — and it looks like Disney+ is teeing up to be a formidable force in that. On Monday, the streaming service announced their “Summer Movie Nights” schedule, a lineup of buzz-worthy content that is headed to the streaming service in the coming months. The schedule, which currently stretches into early September, will see at least one blockbuster movie from Disney’s umbrella hit the service every Friday.

The “Summer Movie Nights” block will begin with this Friday’s debut of Hamilton, a filmed version of the iconic and award-winning original Broadway production. As the weeks go on, it will, unsurprisingly, include some of Disney’s biggest properties, including Star Wars and Marvel.
