The Mandalorian and Grogu, Maul – Shadow Lord, and VisionQuest are just a few of the huge Star Wars and Marvel shows and movies dropping throughout 2026. With all of them due to stream on Disney+, it's a great time to subscribe to the channel. To entice us even more, there's currently a money-saving subscription offer in play that runs until the end of this month.
Save 33% on Disney Plus and pay just £3.99 a month for the first three months — offer ends January 30 on this UK-only deal.

I've highlighted the most cost-effective way to make the most of this Disney Plus deal, but there are bigger savings to be had on the UK, ad-free version of Standard (usually £9.99, now £6.99) and Premium (usually £14.99, now £9.99) subscriptions, which give a reduced price for three months.
Standard runs at a 1080 resolution with up to two streams running simultaneously, while the Premium option lets you watch in 4K and HDR, with up to four streams.
The first new Marvel show to drop on Disney+ this year is Wonder Man on January 27. Next up is season two of the excellent Daredevil: Born Again on March 4. Following later in the year (air dates TBC) will be VisionQuest and season two of the animated series X-Men '97.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be released in cinemas on July 31, which will stream on Disney+ a few months later. Following that comes Avengers: Doomsday, landing on the big screen on December 18. Expect to see it streaming in early 2027.
While there's a hell of a lot happening in the Star Wars universe this year, only The Mandalorian and Grogu movie (May 22) currently has a release date as yet.
On the small screen, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, Ashoka season two, Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi (and potentially a couple of other releases) are all scheduled to stream on Disney+ in 2026.
Key features: A vast library of Star Wars content, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, complete Alien, Predator and Avatar franchises, Transformers movies, The Walking Dead, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Futurama, The Strain, and much more. You can cancel your monthly subscription at any time.
Price history: Offers come up occasionally for Disney Plus in the UK, the current 33% deal is the best one we've seen since this time last year.
