“Kiss Of The Dragon” Is No Longer Going To Be The First Rated R Film On Disney+ In The US
At the start of the month, Disney released its “Next On Disney+” video, which highlights everything that is coming to Disney+ in the United States.
One of the biggest surprises of the video, was that it showed a clip of the 2001 film, “Kiss Of The Dragon”, and text underneath saying that it would arrive on Disney+ in the United States on Friday 29th April 2022.
Recently, Disney+ in the United States had its parental controls upgraded, leading us to believe that “Kiss Of The Dragon” would be the first rated R advertised to arrive on Disney+ in the US.
This news was considered a little strange because it seemed such a random film to be the first rated R film available on Disney+ in the United States. Many fans pointed out they expected a movie with more importance, possibly “Deadpool” or “Logan” or something similar. Other fans even thought I had made the news up as an April Fools joke, which is something I wouldn’t do.
However, Disney has contacted us to say that the information in the video was incorrect. Thus, “Kiss Of The Dragon” will not be coming to Disney+ in the US on April 29th. Disney has also made the original April video private, so you can no longer watch it.
The good news for Disney+ subscribers in Canada, is that the film will still be arriving as scheduled on Friday 29th April 2022, since Disney+ in Canada already has hundreds of rated R films.
Hopefully, Disney+ subscribers in the United States will get an update on when they can expect to see more mature content added onto Disney+. But for now, “Kiss Of The Dragon”, isn’t going to be that first rated R film.
What do you think of “Kiss Of The Dragon” not being released on Disney+ in the US as advertised?
