Disney+ is set to see three new Marvel and Star Wars releases this March, giving fans much to look forward to in the coming month.
The streaming service started 2024 with a bang thanks to the major viewership numbers of Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Echo early in the month.
More recently, The Marvels hit Disney+, quickly seeing far more success than its box office performance may have indicated it would.

3 Marvel & Star Wars Disney+ Releases In March
According to a new press release, three projects from Marvel and Star Wars will be added to Disney+ in March 2024, including one live-action movie and two new animated shows.
Morbius
Well, it must be "Morbin Time," because the notorious double-flop of a Spider-Man spin-off from Sony will make its way onto Disney+ on Friday, March 1.
Starring Jared Leto, Morbius is considered one of the worst superhero movies ever. However, Madame Web reviews indicate it might have some competition for that spot.
Morbius is mostly known for how relentlessly it was made fun of online, rather than its plot or characters. Still, it attempts to tell the story of Doctor Michael Morbius and his experimentation with blood that leads him to acquire vampire powers.
Morbius will hit Disney+ on Friday, March 1.
