It’s Friday and time to take a look at what’s new on Disney+ today in the United Kingdom. There is plenty of new content arriving today including a new episode of WandaVision being the main addition plus a brand new Marvel documentary series “Behind The Mask” plus lots of library content to enjoy.

Here’s the rundown:


Marvel’s WandaVision – Episode 6

Marvel Studios presents “WandaVision,” a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) – two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives – begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. The new series is directed by Matt Shakman; Jac Schaeffer is head writer.


Marvel’s Behind the Mask

Marvel’s Behind the Mask will explore the power of identity behind the world’s most iconic Super Heroes we know and love today.

From the very inception of comic books, secret identities have been an integral part of both Super Heroes and Villains leading “normal” lives. But it’s the characters beneath that resonate within us across generations of fans. Since the advent of the Marvel Age of Comics in the early 1960s, Marvel’s writers and artists have used the notion of identities to examine the evolving concept of equal rights. These legendary Marvel creations and stories have not only reflected the world outside our window – they have become a reflection of our own identities and who we truly are.

Marvel’s Behind the Mask will feature guests from across Marvel’s 80-year legacy, including the writers and artists behind the rise of characters like Black Panther, Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, Luke Cage, the X-Men, Captain Marvel, and many other characters in the Marvel Universe, highlighting Marvel’s impact on pop culture and media.

    Hello. First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on the work you do. I looked around a lot for a good source of info on what's coming to Disney+, and this was definitely the most helpful site. If you'll allow me a suggestion, you already cover US, Canada, Australia and UK. I'm from Portugal, and would love it if you could add Western Europe to the mix, since apparently our version of the platform doesn't fit with any of the others. :) Thank you for this and keep up the great work!
