Something for everyone
Apart from movies from Disney and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), one can also expect original series like "WandaVision" and "Loki" featuring characters from the popular Avengers series.
However, one doesn't necessarily need to watch all these movies to understand the upcoming series on Disney+.

In a virtual event on Feb. 2, President of Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer of Marvel Kevin Feige said:
"I think there's an expectation that you do need to have seen all of the amazing amount of Marvel Cinematic Universe stuff on Disney+ to watch something new, but we spent a lot of time making sure that that's not the case.
And if you have [watched movies from the MCU], you do understand more of the easter eggs. If you haven't, in some ways, you actually get a more pure version of the story that we're unveiling because you're not supposed to know everything when you open page one of a new book."
Here are some titles that one can expect from the six different content brands once Disney+ launches in Singapore:
