Marvel's 'She Hulk' to premiere on Disney+ on Aug. 17

Marvel's ingesting a bit more comedy into its cinematic universe with the upcoming She-Hulk series. Disney just dropped a new trailer for the Disney+ show and revealed it will premiere on the streaming service on August 17. Canadian actress Tatiana Maslany stars as Jennifer Walters, the titular superhero making her live-action debut. MCU star Mark Ruffalo will reprise his role as Bruce Banner, a.k.a. the Hulk and Tim Roth will make his return as the rival green monster. Walters, in the comics, becomes She-Hulk after receiving an emergency blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner.

The show's head writer is Jessica Gao, known for her Emmy-winning Rick and Morty episode "Pickle Rick." Kat Coiro, who has directed episodes of Modern Family and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, is in charge of several episodes.

Marvel's 'Eternals' is now on Disney+

If you have been waiting for Marvel's Eternals to make its debut on Disney's streaming service, then your wait is over. The Marvel film is now available to stream on the service with no additional cost over your monthly subscription fee. The Eternals got a theatrical-exclusive period that's almost as long as some films before the pandemic. It was in theatres for around 68 days, when the pre-pandemic norm was about 75 to 90 days. 

The difference is you'll get to stream it on Disney Plus at the same time as you can buy it online on major digital platforms. Before the online rentals, Blu-ray and DVD releases would get the first home-viewing options after a film's theatrical run. As CNET pointed out, it'll be more than twice as expensive to purchase the Eternals outside of a month's subscription to Disney Plus.

Marvel's 'Eternals' to land on Disney+ on Jan. 12

Marvel Studios

Just a little after two months since it hit theatres, Marvel Studios' Eternals is coming to Disney's streaming service. Disney+ will have the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film on January 12.

In September, Disney announced that it plans to give its remaining slate of theatrical releases at least 45 days in the cinemas before they are available to stream. The only exception is Encanto, which is coming to Disney+ on December 24 (around 30 days after its cinematic release). Eternals is an example of giving that minimum 45-day window.

US movie theatre chain partners with Sony to offer 'Spider-Man' NFTs for advance ticket buyers

It looks like NFTs are turning into the new collectible cards. US movie theatre chain AMC partners with Sony Pictures to give away 86,000 NFTs to Stubs Premiere, A-List, and Investor Connect members who buy or reserve tickets for Spider-Man: No Way Home screenings on December 16.

They will receive their code on December 22 and have until March 1, 2022, to redeem one of the 100 designs through the more eco-friendly Wax blockchain. It isn't guaranteed that this promo will improve ticket sales, but it might be something we'll see more often.
