The Incredible Hulk
The UK adaptation ofDisney+has launched , but it ’s missing some bigMarvel Cinematic Universemovies . The same matter happened with its initial launch in the United States , Canada , and the Netherlands , though just what is miss varies from region to region .
Which MCU movies were missing on launching in the US was mostly down to Disney possess a deal with Netflix that still has n’t expired . retaliator : eternity Warwon’t be on Disney+in the US until June 25 , 2020 . That was a strange move sinceAvengers : Endgamewas one of the freehanded draw when Disney+ launched November 12 , 2019 . But while the gaps in the US launching were due to the relatively recent Disney - Netflix deal , the gaps in the UK loss come from something much further back .

When it launches in the UK , Disney+ is go to be missingThe Incredible Hulk , Spider - Man : Homecoming , andSpider - Man : Far From Home . Every other MCU picture is in there , and there ’s a pattern to the I that are pretermit : statistical distribution right , which have plagued the MCU since the beginning and Marvel as a whole since the 1990s .
Back in 1996 , as the comic industriousness was collapsing from the speculator bubble bursting , Marvel was in such dire straits that it had to hold bankruptcy . Part of what allowed them to recover from this was licence out characters to movie studios . This take to the large number of Marvel motion picture release in the late-90s / early-00s , with theSpider - ManandX - Menseries being the most large . The job is that many of these concord never cash in one’s chips . UntilDisney bought 20th Century Fox , the studio still retain theFantastic FourandX - Menlicenses . Sony still holds theSpider - Manlicense , and while the accurate state of rights to Hulk is ill-defined , at least some of it is still held by Universal ( aboard mayhap Namor the Submariner , a long - rumored MCU type ) .
Even with those omission , Disney+ is launching with a passably stark MCU library in the UK.The Incredible Hulkdoes connect to the wider MCU , but is still one of the least significant movies to the MCU overall , with Marvel recasting Bruce Banner from Edward Norton to Mark Ruffalo . There have been a couple of characters from that movie appear in later MCU projects , in the form of William Hurt ’s Thunderbolt Ross andMartin Starr reappearing in the Spider - Man moviesas a teacher , Roger Harrington .
Spider - Manis a big miss , as Peter Parker play such a bad role inCaptain America : Civil War , Infinity War , andEndgame . Disney and Sony have notoriously not catch along very well , and it ’s already been say that there areno plans for theSpider - Manmovies to come out on Disney+ . Since a falling out afterAvengers : Endgamealmost finish their precarious partnership until anew Spider - Man dealcould be struck , it does n’t look like that ’s going to be changing anytime soon . They ’re not the most skippable film , but do n’t will such a glaring hole as missing something like one of the mainAvengersmovies would . All things considered , the UK launch ofDisney+has a stiff accumulation of MCU motion-picture show . While it would be prissy to have a full assemblage in one station , just missing the couple of movies caught up in a dispersion mess still gives a pretty complete face at everything in the MCU .
