What is Disney Plus and how much does it cost?
Disney Plus is Disney's ad-free streaming service with tons of movies and TV shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and 20th Century Fox.
A monthly subscription costs $6.99/month, and an annual subscription costs $69.99 a year. A seven-day trial was originally offered for new subscribers, but this promotion is no longer available. There's also a $12.99 bundle with ESPN+ and Hulu.

What Marvel movies and shows can I watch?
Disney Plus is home to nearly every Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie released so far. With that said, certain titles, like "Spider-Man: Homecoming," will not be included since they were produced by a different studio.
Movies like "Iron Man," "Captain Marvel," and "Avengers: Endgame" are all available now. Upcoming Marvel films set for theatrical release, like "Black Widow" and "The Eternals," will also arrive on Disney Plus a few months after they hit home video formats.
Beyond the studio's movie lineup, new spin-off series focused on various Marvel characters will be available on Disney Plus as well. The first new Marvel shows are set to premiere later this year.
Loki will return with more of his mischief in a series aptly named "Loki," the Scarlet Witch will take us on a surreal spin in "WandaVision," and all sorts of alternative realities in the Marvel universe will be explored in the experimental animated series "What If?" There will also be shows centered around characters that are completely new to the MCU, including Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk.
Between major films, exclusive series, and even reality shows, the Marvel library is shaping up quite nicely on Disney Plus.
Are "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" films available on Disney Plus?
Though Disney Plus initially launched in the US without any of 20th Century Fox's Marvel movies, the service now includes "X-Men" (2000), "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (2014), "Fantastic Four" (2015), and "X-Men: Apocalypse" (2016).
20th Century Fox produced several Marvel films featuring the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and Deadpool characters before the studio was acquired by Disney in 2019. Two more Fox movies are scheduled for release on Disney Plus over the coming months, and it's possible that additional Fox movies from these franchises will be added in the future. With that said, any R-rated films, like "Logan" and "Deadpool", are unlikely to ever be included.
Here's a full list of Marvel movies from 20th Century Fox that are still missing from Disney Plus in the US:
- "Daredevil" (2003)
- "X2" (2003)
- "Elektra" (2005)
- "Fantastic Four" (2005) - coming to Disney Plus on August 28, 2020

What order should I watch the Marvel films in?
Though different Marvel Studios movies take place at different points in the MCU's timeline, the best order to watch the movies in is the same order that they were originally released in theaters. The filmmakers designed the overarching storyline to be best viewed this way.
A full breakdown of the Marvel movie release timeline can be found below, along with a full rundown of every Marvel film and show available on Disney Plus.

'Marvel Hero Project' - now available
One of the reality programs on Disney Plus is "Marvel Hero Project," which highlights extraordinary kids who have helped their community.
In each episode, the heroic kids get surprised with the honor of being drawn as superheroes in their very own Marvel comic. The comics will then be available via Marvel Unlimited and the Marvel Digital Comic Store for free.
'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' - TBA 2020
"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" will be the first of the new onslaught of Marvel shows to hit Disney Plus.
The new series reportedly will take place after Captain America passes the proverbial torch (in the form of his shield) to Sam Wilson, aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie). The Falcon will be accompanied by Bucky Barnes, aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), who will most likely be struggling with his past.
Though originally scheduled to premiere in August 2020, production for the series has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. A new release date has not been announced yet.
'WandaVision' - December 2020
"WandaVision" features Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) post "Avengers: Endgame."
Characters like Jimmy Woo from "Ant-Man and the Wasp" (Randall Park) and Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) from "Thor: The Dark World" are also in the show, though the actual plot is still light on details.
'Loki' - Spring 2021
Spoiler alert: Loki and all his mischief is coming back.
This is excellent news for those who have been mourning Loki's death in "Avengers: Endgame." Tom Hiddleston returns as the Nordic trickster, most likely due to the tesseract that enables him to travel through space and time.
'What If?' - Summer 2021
"What If?" is an animated series based in the Marvel Universe with the premise that changing one small thing in the narrative of the superheroes could change the course of the character and the world.
Major talent from Marvel include Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Josh Brolin (Thanos), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Mark Ruffalo (the Hulk), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), and many more.
'Hawkeye' - Fall 2021
In late 2021, Hawkeye - a superhero without a superpower - will return to the screen in his own spin-off show.
In "Hawkeye," Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) will mentor and bestow his knowledge upon young Avenger Kate Bishop. The character has yet to be officially cast but is rumored to be Hailee Steinfeld.
'Ms. Marvel' - To be announced
"Ms. Marvel" will be a groundbreaking live-action show based on the comic by the same name.
The show will feature Kamala Khan, Marvel's first Muslim superhero to star in her own solo comic series, as a Pakistani-American living with her devout family in New Jersey while dealing with her superpowers.
'She-Hulk' - To be announced
Marvel has yet to give much information about "She-Hulk," but we do know some details.
The show will focus on Jennifer Walters, cousin of the Hulk, aka Bruce Banner. After Walters gets a blood transfusion from Banner, she gets some of the Hulk's gamma poisoning and becomes the She-Hulk.
'Moon Knight' - To be announced
Another project that is light on details is the upcoming adventure series "Moon Knight." All we know is that it's based on a cloaked avenger named Mark Specter, who suffers from multiple personalities and questionable instincts.
'Marvel's 616' – To be announced
The documentary series "Marvel's 616" (a working title according to Disney) will do a deep dive into the history and culture behind Marvel's stories and characters.
