Disney Plus: What to know about Encanto

Disney Plus stood out as a breakaway success among a wave of new streaming services, thanks in part to its large library of shows and movies and a widening pipeline of originals and exclusives. But even though Disney Plus streamed some big-screen movies the same day they hit theaters earlier this year, that's not the case anymore for movies like Encanto or Marvel's Eternals.To get more latest news on disney, you can visit shine news official website.

But Encanto is set to become available to stream on Disney Plus at no added cost on Dec. 24, at midnight PT (3 a.m. ET).

That's much faster than Disney's theatrical releases hit the streaming service before the pandemic, when it typically took five to eight months. And it's faster than other recent Disney movies landed on Disney Plus after their theatrical releases: Shang-Chi, for example, was in cinemas for about 70 days before its Disney Plus release.

But it's still longer than some other, earlier Disney movies, like Pixar's Luca, which went straight to Disney Plus. Eternals -- the star-packed Marvel movie next up in the superhero franchise -- hit theaters exclusively on Nov. 5. Eternals doesn't have a confirmed streaming release date yet, but here's what we do know, along with some educated guesses about what to expect:

Then again, it could take many months for Eternals to start streaming. Before the pandemic, new Disney movies would make their way to Disney Plus about five to eight months after they premiered in theaters. If Disney returns to that norm, it's possible Disney Plus subscribers could be waiting until summer 2022 to start streaming Eternals.

It's more likely Eternals will become available to stream on Disney Plus much earlier than the pre-pandemic norm. Unfortunately, we won't know for certain until Disney confirms its streaming plan for Eternals.Disney Plus' latest live-action Marvel series in the vein of Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision -- releases new episodes early Wednesday mornings at midnight PT (3 a.m. ET).

The Hawkeye series stars Jeremy Renner, reprising his role from the movies. The show adds the character Kate Bishop, who in the comics becomes a second Hawkeye; Hailee Steinfeld is playing the role. The series will also introduce the character of Echo to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a preamble to Echo getting her own Disney Plus spinoff series down the line. We don't know exactly which will come first, but Marvel has a parade of shows slated for Disney Plus.

Ms. Marvel, which introduces a new character into the MCU, was originally planned to come out this year, but Disney has pushed back Ms. Marvel until, at the earliest, July 2022. In the comic books, the Ms. Marvel character was first incarnated by Carol Danvers, who later took up the identity of Captain Marvel. Then the name was most recently passed on to Kamala Khan, a teen protege of Danvers who was Marvel's first Muslim character to headline her own comic book and will soon be the center of the Disney Plus series.

In mid-November, Marvel also noted that two other series -- She-Hulk and Moon Knight -- would be released in 2022.

Shows that were described as "coming soon" (which really means you'll probably be waiting awhile for most of these) included Secret Invasion, Echo, Ironheart, Agatha: House of Harkness, Armor Wars, Marvel Zombies, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, X-Men '97, I Am Groot, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Loki season 2 and Marvel What If season 2.
