Disney argues for arbitration in lawsuit with subscription terms of service

Last week my son and I went to see the new movie Deadpool & Wolverine and it was great. It was great to see two iconic characters from comic book pasts on screen at the same time, especially since actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are good friends off screen.

The film was also spectacular because it included cameo appearances by other famous actors, some of whom reprised the roles of previous superheroes. Deadpool & Wolverine is significant because it is the first film to bring together the heroes of the 20th Century Fox films with those of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This was made possible when Disney, already the owner of Marvel Studios, acquired Fox in 2019 for $71.3 billion.

This move also brought “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” into the lineup, making Disney a giant of iconic film franchises. In 2019, the company launched Disney+, a streaming service that featured these franchises in addition to its Pixar catalog, including “Toys,” and its classic animated films such as “Bambi.”
