That includes a raft of original content, like a Mighty Ducks reboot and a basketball show starring John Stamos. There will also be 10 new Star Wars shows, including another season of The Mandalorian and two spinoffs, as well as some movies, including one that's spun off of Rogue One — all coming to Disney+. Then there's Marvel — and this is where Disney's plans leave your living room and return to theaters. Black Widow, starring Scarlett Johansson, had been scheduled for a May 2020 release, and now Disney says it will be coming to theaters in May 2021. There will be "roughly" 10 new Marvel shows coming to Disney+ next year, but if you want to be one of the first to see the next Avengers-adjacent feature film, you're going to have to sit indoors with a bunch of strangers for a couple of hours. Recode's Peter Kafka explains Disney's decision to head back to theaters as the pandemic stretches into its second year.
