“Cruella” with Oscar winner Emma Stone (32) will be available from May 28th, “Black Widow” with Scarlett Johansson (36) as the title hero from July 9th. For both, however – as was the case with “Mulan” – an additional fee is due in addition to the normal subscription price. It is not yet known how high the costs for this “Premier Access” will be. For “Mulan” it was 21.99 euros at the time.
The new Pixar film “Luca”, however, will be released exclusively on Disney + on June 18, as was the case with the animated hit “Soul”.
