'The Book of Boba Fett' wrapped up production for Dec. 2021 debut on Disney+

Fans of Star Wars and The Mandalorian have something to look forward to before the year ends. The Book of Boba Fett, which stars Temuera Morrison (Aquaman) as the titular character, has already wrapped up production and is scheduled for a December 2021 release ahead of The Mandalorian's third season premiere.

Morrison talked to SFX Magazine about the show without giving too much away. Gizmodo shared a quote from Morrison talking about how filming was like during the pandemic. He said: "You walk on set, and you hear, 'Shields down! Shields down!' So we have to air those studios out every 20 minutes. It's called a purge, so you know you've got a toilet break then. There's a lot to shoot in one day, but with health and safety and the requirements, it filters out a lot of the bullshit, put it that way."

Future Disney+ original series will come out on Wednesdays

Disney

After Disney moved up the release of Loki to a Wednesday instead of its usual Friday release, the company found that it became its most-watched premiere on the platform. And so, moving forward all-new original Disney series will come out on Wednesdays. So, the upcoming animated Monsters, Inc. series, Monsters at Work, will be moved up to July 2 from July 7. 

Highly anticipated Marvel titles like Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight weren't mentioned in the list, but you can expect these to come out on Wednesdays, too. However, original movies will continue to premiere on Friday, which means its shows and films will no longer have to compete for subscribers' attention.

Disney has no plans yet to introduce a cheaper, ad-supported Disney+ plan

Don't expect Disney to offer a cheaper, ad-supported tier to its Disney+ service anytime soon, even if other services like its own Hulu and HBO Max have something similar. Speaking at the Credit Suisse 23rd Annual Communications Conference on Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said, "We're always re-evaluating how we go to market across the world, but we've got no such plans now to do that. We're happy with the models that we've got right now. We won't limit ourselves and say no to anything. But right now, we have no such plans for that."

And it's not an entirely surprising move given that Disney+ has continued to grow, with over 103 million global paid subscribers that's expected to double by 2024.

You can stream 'Black Widow' on Disney+ at no extra cost on Oct. 6

As with Disney films like Mulan, Raya and the Last Dragon, and Cruella, Disney will offer the latest Marvel flick Black Widow on Disney+ at an additional fee when it lands in theatres on July 9. This Premier Access paywall allows those who want to watch the latest Disney films from the comforts of home when they're scheduled for theatrical releases. But, as with the other films, you'll need to pay an extra CAD 34.99 to access the film on top of your Disney+ subscription.

After some time, though, Disney will open access to these films without paying the extra fee. For Black Widow, that period will be on October 6. So, if you don't want to pay extra and are willing to wait for Black Widow's release, then you can wait a few more months to stream the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster.
